Do you want to help define the future of finance?
Are you a strong software engineer who's passionate about data, distributed systems, and delivering impact at scale? Are you looking for a values-driven company that invests in its people and gives you the autonomy to shape critical systems, while staying close to the code?
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join Elliptic's Product-Engineering organisation, focusing on data engineering solutions that power our blockchain analytics and intelligence products. This is a hands-on engineering role: as a senior member of the team, you will spend the majority of your time designing, building, and shipping the data platform yourself, while driving the technical direction that ensures it continues to meet the growing demands of blockchain analysis.
Challenges include building a blockchain-agnostic solution that scales globally, processing large batch and streaming datasets, and solving complex data processing problems that give our customers deep insights into the flow of value across the crypto ecosystem.
The impact you will have
Our data and intelligence platform sits at the heart of everything we do. As a senior engineer, you will personally design and build data systems that serve as the backbone of all Elliptic products. By collaborating across blockchain, intelligence and product teams, you will deliver innovative features that help the world fight financial crime and increase transparency in the crypto space. Very few engineering roles have such clearly measurable real-world impact.
You will also help us excel in engineering excellence by mentoring and upskilling our highly-engaged and passionate engineers, by championing best practices, and holding yourself and your team to a high standard.
What you will do
Write, ship, and maintain production code as a hands-on engineer.
Architect, design, and implement large-scale distributed data systems and pipelines.
Contribute to technical decision-making across batch and streaming data solutions.
Collaborate with engineers, product managers, data scientists, and intelligence analysts to build customer-focused products.

Take shared ownership of data systems, from design to deployment and ongoing improvement and support.
Perform thoughtful peer reviews that raise code quality and share best practices across the team.
Contribute to platform-wide initiatives that improve reliability, observability, and cost efficiency.
