About Us:

Blockworks is a financial media brand that delivers breaking news and premium insights about digital assets to millions of investors. Our content, newsletters, podcasts, and events provide investors with the critical analysis and information they need to make smarter decisions about digital assets.

Who You Are:

Software engineering is your passion, and you have special talents focused on data architecture, design, and API development. You are a player-coach and a natural leader who understands the technical and human elements that go into great software design. You have a results-oriented attitude and a passion for delivering flawless releases and developing digital product pipelines (CI/CD pipelines). You have a proven track record facilitating engineering teams to increase productivity and quality.

You're excited at the possibility of helping design and develop our data pipelines as well as leading all of our data-related projects and strategies for Blockwork's suite of projects. You love moving quickly in a fast-paced start-up, but you also bring intentionality, sustainability and scalability to your approach as an engineer.

What You’ll Do:

As our Senior Data Engineer, you'll be one of our first data engineers and will be 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. 

Every day will look a little different, but in general, you will do things like:

  • Own Data Sourcing Pipelines: You'll be responsible for helping to architect our data warehousing, 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.

Experimentation is frequent at Blockworks. Comfortability with being uncomfortable is a must.

What You’ve Done Before:

For this role, first and foremost, you must have significant knowledge of the crypto industry; interest in crypto is not enough, we’re looking for someone who considers themself crypto native. 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 Python, Go, Rust and/or Typescript, and you bring incredibly strong expertise in SQL (ideally Parquet, Postgres, and  Clickhouse). You have deep experience creating data warehouses at scale (100M+ rows per day), and you also bring experience using DevOps tools and cloud solutions like Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, or GCP.

It’d Be Great If You’ve Done This:

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.

Salary:

This is a full-time, exempt position with an expected salary of $160,000 - $200,000/year.

Benefits:

Remote-First:

We're a remote-first organization with an office in NYC for you to utilize as you please.

100% Medical Coverage for You:

Close to fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for you, and a significant portion covered for your dependents.

Flexible PTO:

We have a flexible paid time off policy that doesn't limit the number of vacation days you can take.

Parental Leave:

At Blockworks, all team members are eligible for 14 weeks of fully paid parental leave.

Hardware Stipend:

Every team member has a stipend to use to purchase the tools and technology that help them be their most productive.

Learning & Growth Stipend:

Every team member has a stipend to spend on their skill growth and professional development.

Career Growth:

We prioritize skill growth and career development, and we have a clear, documented structure to take the guesswork out of individual development and career progression

Global & Diverse Team:

We're a global team, and we're committed to creating an open, inclusive, and diverse work culture

Come build with us; we're just getting started!

We know that diversity makes for the best problem-solving and creative thinking. We are dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team and encourage everyone to apply if your experience is close to what we are looking for.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
