[Remote] Software Engineer, Data Infrastructure & Graph Systems

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Inca Digital is a veteran-owned data and intelligence company specializing in digital-asset analytics for exchanges, financial institutions, regulators, and blockchain ecosystems. The Software Engineer will design, build, and scale data infrastructure, graph systems, pipelines, APIs, and investigative tools while partnering with R&D and investigations teams to deliver production software for federal and commercial clients.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate end-to-end data infrastructure and solutions for delivering APIs, custom containerized applications, automated alerting/reporting, and graph-based visualizations to federal and commercial clients
• Model and deploy relational, document, and graph databases for supporting investigative workflows and large-scale network analysis
• Build resilient ETL/ELT pipelines that ingest, normalize, and reconcile structured and semi-structured data from internal databases, REST APIs, blockchain nodes, and third-party feeds
• Own data quality, lineage, and reproducibility. Our outputs support enforcement actions and litigation, so provenance is a product requirement, not a nice-to-have
• Automate orchestration, systems integration, and deployment through CI/CD (GitHub Actions) into AWS cloud environments
• Partner with the Head of R&D, data scientists, and our specialized investigations teams to translate intelligence requirements into production software
• Make and document architecture decisions, evaluate new technology, and cut through genuinely ambiguous problems spanning crypto, finance, and national security

Skills

• You must be able to pass a U.S. Tier 3 background investigation, which under federal rules is generally limited to U.S. citizens
• Proficient in Python
• Proven experience designing and operating production data infrastructure and pipelines — systems you were responsible for when they broke, not only contributed to
• Deep PostgreSQL experience (self-managed or RDS/Aurora), including schema design and query optimization
• Graph data modeling and network analysis experience. Neo4j and Cypher preferred; Neptune or a comparable graph database is fine. Comprehensive grasp of architectural trade-offs when deploying graph-based systems, including specific performance advantages and technical limitations
• Production experience deploying and configuring containerized services to AWS
• Infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform)
• Go as an additional language
• An active TS/SCI
• Message queues and event-driven data pipelines (SQS/SNS, Kafka), and search or document stores (OpenSearch, MongoDB)
• Familiarity with blockchain ledger data, smart contracts, or blockchain analytics
• NLP techniques, LLM integration, or building and evaluating ML models
• Background in financial services or trading venues, or familiarity with SEC, CFTC, or FinCEN regulatory frameworks
• Experience operating in FedRAMP, AWS GovCloud, or NIST 800-171 environments

Benefits

• Fully remote, high-trust environment
• Healthcare stipend
• Childcare stipends
• Dedicated employee assistance resources
• We sponsor investigations for candidates without an active TS/SCI, and you can begin work before adjudication completes
