Role
Who you are
- Experimentation is frequent at Blockworks. Comfortability with being uncomfortable is a must
- You have at least 4 (but ideally more) years of hands-on experience with data modeling, schema design, data operations, and data warehousing
- During that time, you've personally built backend systems at scale with a focus on data processing and ingestion
- You're an ace at Typescript, Go, and/or Python, and you bring incredibly strong expertise in SQL (ideally Postgres, dbt, and Hypertables)
- You have deep experience creating data warehouses using Timescale, Snowflake, and/or BigQuery, and you also bring experience using DevOps tools and solutions like Docker, CI/CD, and AWS
Desirable
- Experience and demonstrated success in crypto, web3, startup or incubator environments will move you to the top of the list
- Having a background in designing, building and managing microservices will also set you apart from other candidates
- If you have any significant experience in security, privacy, and scalability, we'd love to hear about that, too
What the job involves
- As our Senior Data Engineer, you'll be our first data engineer and directly responsible for leading the creation and execution of our data models and strategies that feed our product
- You'll work collaboratively with other members of the engineering team to design, develop, implement, and evolve our data pipeline and API strategies and approaches
- Own Data Sourcing Pipelines: You'll be responsible for helping to architect our data warehgousing, ingestion and sourcing strategy, working with multiple SDKs to aggregate data from various sources into Blockwork's own data warehouse
- Design and Implement ETL Solutions: You'll be responsible for implementing our overall ETL approach, including accessing & setting up blockchain nodes to pull from, sourcing data from 3rd parties, and modeling our internal schemas across our PostgreSQL database(s)
- Grow Shared Knowledge: You'll help provide technical leadership, guidance, and assistance to the team in the implementation of established architectures and designs
- Drive Operational Efficiency: You'll be constantly looking for opportunities to improve data workflows and reliably automate routine tasks
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: You'll work with other teams across Blockworks, including Research, Product, and Engineering, to lead initiatives and move collaborations forward
Our take
Blockworks is a leading digital asset and financial media brand delivering news and insights about digital assets to millions of global investors. Its range of editorial content, newsletters, podcasts, and events consolidates essential information in one place, providing the critical analysis and information investors need to make smarter decisions about digital assets. As the only crypto-native information source that speaks to traditional investors, Blockworks has situated itself within an invaluable niche in the industry.
Funding in crypto and Web3 companies has seen a bit of a plateau, with DeFi and NFT-related projects bringing in more investments; however, Blockworks' recent successful funding round has propelled the company to a valuation of $135 million. This funding has been used to expand its product offerings and research platform, including the launch of the new government tracking tool, GovHub. With this financial boost and the recent acquisition of The Breakdown, Blockworks is well set for continued accelerated growth.
