- Building our core data systems and API
- Collaborating with product engineers to ship new features
- Increasing team productivity by improving the development lifecycle

Bonus points if you have previous blockchain data, early-stage startup, or finance experience! Interview Process

- The first step is meeting Charlie, our CTO. He’ll ask in-depth questions about your work history, as well as give you an overview of our company and culture.
- The next step is a technical take-home assignment where you’ll solve a problem similar to the ones we face every day.
- After the take-home, you’ll meet us on-site to whiteboard a system design problem, discuss how you think about engineering management and processes, and enjoy a delicious lunch with the team!
- Finally, we like to do a paid trial run, where you’ll be working with us over a weekend or part-time during the week. This lets both sides make a more informed decision about working together.
- Afterwards, we’ll ask for references with past colleagues and compile a formal offer
