What are the responsibilities and job description for the Data Engineer position at 0x?
COMPANY
At 0x Labs, our mission is to create a tokenized world where all value can flow freely. 0x Labs is the parent company of several cutting-edge technologies and initiatives within the crypto space, representing a tight-knit group of teams that work together toward actualizing that mission.
The 0x core team builds across the entire 0x stack — from protocol-level development through end-user products. In joining us, you'll take part in transforming the way that value is exchanged on a global scale. We're passionate about open-source software and decentralized technology's potential to act as an equalizing force in the world, and our technology is deployed by a wide array of projects at the forefront of internet and economic advancement.
We’ll consider your application regardless of where you call home.
WHO YOU ARE
You're excited about the opportunity to shape 0x's culture and practices. You thrive in ambiguity, and you're excited about converging on salient ideas and solutions. You're highly motivated to advance not only 0x through data, but to do the same for our growing ecosystem and the broader Ethereum community.
You're experienced and comfortable with being the ultimate data guardian of your organization. You strive for excellence when it comes to establishing high standards in company data hygiene, and take proactive action to establish it. You naturally form and test theses against large data sets to help drive product decisions and company strategy. You enjoy sharing your findings and presenting them both internally and externally, tailoring your language and visualizations to the audience. Working with experimental and cutting-edge technology inspires you, and you find the process of solving problems without a known best practice motivating.
The data engineering team is responsible for maintaining and upgrading the technology that extracts and processes blockchain data and exposes it to internal and external teams. You will be partnering with Data Scientists, Product Managers and Engineers to translate business needs into requirements, resulting in meaningful recommendations and actionable strategies. The ideal candidate has passion for operating in white space and building solutions from the ground up in a fast-paced environment.
