Your opportunity:
Join our tight-knit early-stage distributed team that thrives on interesting technical challenges and building magical products that improve people's lives. As an early Data Engineer, you will work on multi-faceted data problems to enable CoinTracker to seamlessly track crypto users' portfolio & taxes.
Some projects you may work on:
-
Build semi-automated systems to normalize coin symbols on every crypto exchange into a unified format
-
Synchronize and process billions of price points tracking the price history of every cryptocurrency used
-
Build tools to surface data integrity issues in synchronized balances, transactions, cryptocurrencies and prices
You may enjoy this role if you:
-
Enjoy working with messy/unclean data from multiple sources
-
Can effectively analyze + process data, and store it for use across the system, and run data integrity checks
-
Can build data systems and tools, and are familiar with relational databases
-
Work effectively in a remote setting and are able to overlap with our core hours of 9 AM to 12 PM PT
-
Thrive in an early-stage startup environment with less stability and more ambiguity.
-
Are interested in financial products and/or cryptocurrency.
Our engineering process includes:
-
Code reviews.
-
Continuous integration.
-
Multiple daily automated deployments to production.
-
Automated testing with >85% code coverage.
Some of the technical challenges we face are:
-
Lots of data — billions of data points to track transactions and market pair prices.
-
Data structures & algorithms — automated transfer detection, cost basis tracking, tax optimization, and more. Your CS fundamentals finally come in handy!
-
Scalability — some cryptocurrency users, such as algorithmic traders, accumulate millions of transactions per year. CoinTracker needs to work seamlessly for those power crypto traders.
-
Blockchain — whether it's running our own nodes, implementing xPub address generation and traversal, or parsing smart contracts to seamlessly support decentralized trading, we get our hands dirty with core blockchain technology.
-
Technical complexity — integrating with hundreds of exchanges and blockchains, and supporting thousands of cryptocurrencies means we have to methodically architect our software and build critical monitoring systems to deliver a robust and accurate platform.
Our tech stack is:
-
Web: HTML, Javascript, React, CSS, Sass
-
Mobile: React Native, Expo, GraphQL
-
Backend: Python, Flask, GraphQL, Postgres, Redis, Python RQ
