What you’ll be responsible for:

Circle has made its reputation on being compliant and transparent.  That reputation rests on data that is right. As a Senior Data Engineer at Circle, you'll own the pipelines and data models that our product, treasury, finance, accounting and compliance teams depend on to meet their reporting and regulatory requirements and to run the business day to day.

You'll work with large-scale on-chain and internal data and turn it into datasets that people can trust, explain and defend. You'll also have the chance to shape how we think about data reliability, so that the most important information we track is well organized, well monitored, and understandable to the people who rely on it.

The right candidate will join a team of passionate engineers who care about data reliability, and your work will support our mission to be a world-class company driven by data. If you have a lot of attention to detail, get bothered when the numbers don't tie together, are excited to learn from our expert finance, accounting and treasury partners, and want to help people understand how our systems really work, we would love to talk to you.

What you'll work on:

Partner with product engineering, finance, accounting, treasury, data analytics, and compliance teams to understand how new products and regulations will affect the data we need, and work with them to design the data requirements, models, business logic and pipelines that let us track and verify that we are meeting our obligations.

Develop a strong understanding of how the business thinks about its money and its customers' balances, including custody, reserves and reconciliation, and partner with those teams to make the inner workings of our data transparent.

Build the frameworks and systems that help us see when something might be going wrong, such as reconciliation, data quality checks, and alerting. Lead the charge to fix the immediate problem, then design solutions that keep it from happening again.

Work with on-chain data at scale, ingesting and modeling data from multiple blockchains and handling the realities of that data, such as reorgs, late or missing records and upstream schema changes.

Work with analytics and data science colleagues, and with the teams that consume your data, to make sure what you ship is documented, trustworthy and fits how it will be used. Reframe requests into better data products and push back early when a request isn't well scoped.

Build scalable automated solutions using SQL, Python, orchestration and transformation tooling, and AI.Review code, models and designs, and mentor junior engineers.
