Who We Are

We are a trusted, institutional crypto asset technology team that delivers leading data and software products to address the most complex data challenges. We build SaaS and DaaS solutions to convert crypto asset data into auditable information to support portfolio management, sub-ledger, risk, analytical and other financial reporting. Our products automate and optimize crypto asset data management for all businesses, including but not limited to funds, fund administrators, OTC and proprietary trading desks, exchanges, miners, protocols and accounting firms – and we are proud to call some of the largest crypto businesses and financial institutions our customers.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead on project deliveries, determining work effort, being fully hands-on, while also being able to delegate if necessary.

• You will be able to learn and use AWS tools – EKS, ECR, Cloudwatch, S3, and others.
• Work with senior team members to contribute to planning, coding, testing and releasing your work.
• Coach and mentor team members and be accountable for their development.
• Achieve on-time delivery without compromising quality.
• Hit the ground running and be a full-fledged contributor to the corresponding project/team within 6 months.

• 5+ years in Java or Scala development
• A university degree, ideally in Computer Science, Information Technology or a related field or equivalent commercial experience.
• Problem-solving skills 
• Thinking out-of-the-box mindset  
• Performing a code review is an obvious step for you

• Passion for Big Data and data-oriented approach 
• Proficiency with RDBMS (i.e. Postgres ), various types of NoSQL storage solutions
