[Hiring] Data Engineer @Circle

Role Description

As a Data Engineer at Circle, you'll build and operate the pipelines and data models that our risk and compliance teams depend on to monitor activity, screen for risk, meet regulatory reporting requirements and produce evidence that stands up to scrutiny. You'll work with large-scale on-chain and internal data and turn it into datasets that people can trust, explain and defend.

• Partner with product engineering, risk, compliance, data analytics and data science teams to understand data needs and help turn those needs into well-specified requirements, models, business logic and pipelines.
• Develop a working understanding of risk and compliance obligations, such as transaction monitoring, sanctions and AML screening, regulatory reporting and audit evidence.
• Own the pipelines and models you build, including on-call responsibilities.
• Write and maintain runbooks, add data quality checks and alerting, and fix root causes when something breaks.
• Work with on-chain data at scale, ingesting and modeling data from multiple blockchains.
• Deliver new sources, domain models and backfills with limited supervision.
• Apply access and control requirements correctly in your work, such as authorized views and PII handling.
• Build scalable automated solutions using SQL, Python, orchestration and transformation tooling, and AI.
• Review peers' code and models, document what you ship, and keep partners informed on progress and risks.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative or technical field (Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Economics, Finance or similar), or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of experience building and operating production data pipelines and models.
• Proficiency in SQL and Python, and experience with a modern data stack: a cloud data warehouse, an orchestrator such as Airflow, and a transformation tool such as dbt.
• A track record of delivering well-scoped work independently, with high-quality, tested code and few errors.
• Clear communication and a collaborative approach, including the ability to explain to non-technical partners how the pipelines you build work.
• A strong sense of ownership: when a number looks wrong or a pipeline breaks, you dig in, find the root cause, and keep partners informed until it is fixed.
• Experience with blockchain data, financial services, risk, compliance, banking or other regulated industries is a plus, but not required.

Requirements

• Dedication and commitment to our customers, shareholders, employees, families, and local communities.
• Respectful and active listener who pays attention to detail.
• Driven by mission and passion for customer success, relentlessly pursuing excellence.
• Open and honest communication, holding high moral and ethical standards.

Benefits

• Base Pay Range: $122,500 - $165,000.
• Inclusive financial future with transparency at our core.
