Responsibilities
- Build and maintain real-time data pipelines that ingest market events across our platform with high reliability and low latency
- Partner with analysts and engineers to understand how data is consumed downstream and improve the quality and shape of what gets delivered

Requirements
- 5+ years of experience building and operating production data pipelines with real throughput and real consequences when they fail
- Strong proficiency in Python or a similar language for pipeline development, data transformation, and tooling
- Hands-on experience with stream processing systems such as Kafka, Flink, or Kinesis in a production environment
- Track record of debugging hard data reliability issues - schema drift, late-arriving events, ordering anomalies - and getting to root cause without a lot of hand-holding
- Experience working with cloud data infrastructure, particularly on AWS or GCP, including storage, compute, and orchestration tooling
Nice to have

- (Plus) Familiarity with blockchain event indexing or on-chain data ingestion
