Senior Python Backend Engineer (Remote)

About the Role

Specifically, you’re a blockchain wizard that understands how the EVM works from the cost of gas for OpCodes to how ABI mapping works. You've probably deployed your own node or have used blockchain-etl? You're endlessly curious about a decentralized future, like to move fast but get the important details right and know when to paint outside the lines.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and build data pipelines for EVM-based blockchains and others
• Build APIs on top of abstractions on the data for back-end and front-end engineers to consume
• Assemble internal and external complex web3 and web2 data sets
• Build and optimize queries that power analytics tools, APIs and other applications in our product ecosystem
• Scale internal infrastructure for both managed and unmanaged services ranging from Postgres to Kafka to BigQuery
• Be the lead architect for all blockchain integration and potentially manage a team of back-end engineers
• Move fast but mindful of the key details of our internal engineer user experience

We’re looking for a team member who has

• A deep understanding of the EVM, security best practices, and a passion for web3.
• 5+ years working in either core back-end architect or data engineering role
• 4+ years experience writing in modern languages like Python, Go, etc.
• 1+ years working with core blockchain technologies
• Experience using technologies like Kubernetes, Hadoop, Spark, Postgres, Kafka, etc.
• Triple bonus if you’re are familiar with multiple languages, we compensate accordingly.
• Experience working remote is a nice to have and collaboration tools like Git and Notion.
• You’ve shipped multiple products end-to-end.
• Attention to detail, open-mindedness, and solid problem-solving skills are important

Pluses

• Previous experience with FinTech, DeFi or blockchain related projects is a plus Front-end experience is a huge plus.
• Experience writing smart contracts is a massive plus!
