At Paxos, we are creating the infrastructure for a new, open financial system - one that anyone can access and participate in, and that operates efficiently. There are billions of people in the world who are unbanked or underbanked, and trillions of dollars that are locked up because of the inefficiencies of the legacy system. We envision a new system that allows any asset to move instantaneously, anywhere in the world - to unlock the potential of assets and people everywhere. Our customers include some of the biggest enterprises in the world like PayPal, Credit-Suisse and Societe Generale, and together we are upgrading the global financial system using modern blockchain and crypto technology. 

We are looking for a Data Engineer to join our small but growing data & analytics team. You’ll partner with the rest of the team, business stakeholders and our broader engineering team to design, build and scale our quickly expanding analytics platform. You’ll lead the development of efficient and scalable data pipelines and extensible data models in order to make data at Paxos more accurate, accessible and actionable. You’ll work closely with partners to identify new use-cases for and sources of data to drive decision-making across the organization. Collaborating across disciplines, you will identify internal/external data sources to design and implement new data models & table structures, data products, ELT strategy, automation frameworks and scalable data pipelines. We’ve recently redesigned our analytics stack using technologies like Terraform, S3, Snowflake, DBT & Looker. There is a lot of opportunity for you to help shape how we use data at Paxos as we continue to evolve this platform.

What you will do:

  • Improve Paxos’s products and decision-making by crafting, growing and optimizing our data and data architecture.
  • Partner with engineering, the rest of the data org and cross-functional partners to understand data needs.
  • Design, build and maintain efficient and reliable data pipelines to move data across a number of environments and platforms
  • Ensure data access and segregation aligns to relevant data policies
  • Work with data and cross-functional partners to automate manual ingestion processes and optimize data delivery
  • Educate your partners: Use your data and analytics experience to ‘see what’s missing’, identifying and addressing gaps in their existing logging and processes.
  • Design and implement data unit tests on pipelines, ensuring accurate data reaches end users at all times
  • Build data expertise and own data quality for your areas
  • Become an advocate for data and data tooling within Paxos - make recommendations for new datasets, tools, analyses to further the data team and Paxos’s missions.
