Role

Who you are

A minimum of 4 years in software engineering, with significant exposure to data-intensive applications
Proficiency in Python, Rust and SQL, with a solid understanding of software engineering principles
Experience with OLAP databases (e.g., BigQuery) and familiarity with data transformation tools (e.g., DBT)
Knowledge of workflow orchestration (e.g., Dagster) and distributed data processing technologies (e.g. Spark).Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to work collaboratively in a distributed team setting
Passion for DeFi and the broader crypto ecosystem, with a willingness to immerse oneself in the space
Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a distributed team environment

Desirable

Experience working in the crypto industry is a big plus but not required
Enthusiasm for the space, especially DeFi, is very much desired
Background in smart contract development (e.g., Solidity) or contributions to the DeFi community through research or open-source projects
Experience with building data platforms at scale

What the job involves

Gauntlet’s mission is to drive adoption and understanding in the financial systems of the future. Building with decentralized systems creates novel challenges for mechanism designers, smart contract developers, and end-users of financial products, which are not seen in traditional software development and investing contexts
Develop and enhance software systems that interact with complex data sets from DeFi protocols and blockchain networks, focusing on scalability, efficiency, and reliability
Architect and refine data models and structures to support the evolving needs of DeFi analytics, simulations, methodologies and research development
Engage in the full software development lifecycle, from design through deployment, with a keen eye on data-centric applications
Employ advanced software engineering practices to ensure code quality, system security, and performance in data-intensive environments
Work closely with cross-functional teams to translate data insights into actionable improvements and features within our platform
Stay ahead of the curve with emerging technologies and methodologies that can drive innovation in DeFi data analysis and data/ml engineering
Spearhead the documentation and dissemination of technical knowledge within the team and the wider DeFi community

Our take

Decentralized finance can be high-risk, and for a long time it has lacked the asset management tools and resources of the traditional finance world. Gauntlet, a company founded by two former Wall Street and Uber veterans, solves this problem by acting as a DeFi quant platform.

The company aims to bring financial modelling and simulation to the growing DeFi economy. This forward-thinking has paid off, with Gauntlet now valued at around $1B and serving some of the world's biggest crypto protocols - a testament to the value of its modelling.

Despite existing in the increasingly competitive DeFi space, Gauntlet's impressive valuation and client roster is an indicator of its staying power. As more and more people make the shift from Wall Street to Web 3.0, the company should have no trouble finding new opportunities for growth.
