Backend Engineer

New York

Usher in the Second Generation of Blockchain Analytics 

Our passion here is building revolutionary software to promote transparency, auditability,  and trust around any type of blockchain or distributed ledger data. We empower the most  important institutions across regulation, compliance, finance, and investigation to transform their  decision making process. Our method of fighting crime, illuminating risk, and providing actionable  market data ushers in the second generation of distributed ledger analytics. If you share this  passion we want you on the team. 

The Role 

We are looking for gritty, technical Swiss Army Knives who are enthusiastic about quickly  translating customer needs into elegant, stable, and performant software solutions. You should  be comfortable interacting with the stack at every level, excited to move fast and exercise a bias  towards experimentation and operate in a fast-paced, often opaque environment. Your job is to  figure out what needs to get done and do it. 

• Can you balance trade-offs between the speed of delivery and perfection? • Is your code production-ready and a stable foundation for continuous iteration? • Do you love working in new verticals, rolling your sleeves up, and solving fantastically  hard data problems – often ones that have never been solved before? 

Core Responsibilities 

You’ll be working on our core technology, designing scalable systems to solve novel  problems with modern cloud technology and industry best practices, so you’ll need to articulate  a long-term vision for maintaining and scaling our backend systems and the teams running  them. In general, working shoulder to shoulder with the team turning our product and technical  vision into a tangible roadmap. 

Requirements 

• At least 5 years of experience in software engineering. 
• You’ve designed, built, scaled and maintained production services, and know how to  compose a service-oriented architecture. 
• Experience designing and building highly scalable, distributed systems. 
• Extensive experience with JVM based applications (including concurrency and multi threading) 
• You write high quality code to meet the needs of the business. 
• Familiarity deploying code and working with cloud platforms such as AWS and/or Google  Cloud. 
• Polyglot, experience in multiple languages, all or some of the following: Java, Python,  JavaScript, C++. 
• Experience working on multiple types of databases: Relational, documents, graph.
• Experience in any message passing frameworks for distributed systems orchestration. 
• Some experience writing ETL pipelines, and great if you have experience using  frameworks for pipelines orchestration. 
• A willingness and ability to help mentor junior and mid-level team members • An interest in continuous learning, expanding technical knowledge, and the good  judgment to know when and when not to introduce new technologies 

Stand Apart By Demonstrating: 

• Mentality of “If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.” 
• Disposition of deriving joys from tinkering things and building stuff 
• Self-reflection of “are we doing the right things in our business”?
