Job Description

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will be responsible for developing the data architecture and pipelines that support our data-driven initiatives. As our first data engineer with a focus on graph analytics, you will also be responsible for developing and maintaining the data pipelines that enable graph analysis on blockchain transaction data.This graph database will be a foundational data structure that will power analytical questions of interest to our data scientists, fraud specialists and economists (e.g, understanding patterns of transfers on the blockchain or detecting fraud networks). Consequently, you will work closely with these stakeholders to understand their requirements and build the right technical solutions. You will be part of a team that is a service provider to and collaborates closely with many other teams (in particular Fraud and Risk Analytics, Product, Blockchain, and the wider Engineering team).

• Implement and fine-tune graph solutions to architect, build, and continuously evolve systems that support data science initiatives
• Integrate blockchain data into the graph whilst upholding data quality and consistency; enrich this data with data from other structured and unstructured data sources
• Develop and maintain the data models and schemas to accurately represent complex concepts and relationships
• Transform and pre-process data to fit into the graph structure, including data cleaning, enrichment, and normalization
• Develop graph query services to extract insights from the graph
• Build, maintain, and optimize scalable and efficient data pipelines to enable data ingestion, processing, and transformation from various internal and external sources
• Continuously monitor and optimize the data architecture for performance and scalability
• Collaborate with data scientists, analysts, and other stakeholders to understand their data needs and develop solutions to address them

About You:

• Degree in a quantitative field like computer science, engineering or physics
• 5+ years of hands-on work experience as a data engineer or in a similar role
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to understand complex data systems and develop innovative solutions
• Experience with graph database systems (Neo4j, Amazon Neptune, Virtuoso) and related graph query languages (Cypher, SPARQL)
• Excellent programming skills in SQL
