In your daily job, you do a mix of data engineering, and cloud infrastructure management. Develop and maintain automated data ingestion (API or crawling) pipelines from source code repositories, social media, and on-chain analytics. Simplify existing data pipelines - re-architecting where necessary. Research existing datasets to figure out their relevance - and remove irrelevant data pipelines and sources. Design a data warehouse that can be queried by analysts and APIs, and that will serve as a data backend for a reporting web application. Collaborate with data scientists to operationalize ML models and deploy them into production environments. Work closely with leadership to understand and define requirements, ensuring alignment with the department’s strategy and roadmap. Collaborate with a Data Scientist and an Intelligence Engineer to implement technical solutions that meet project goals.

Knowledge of relational databases (such as PostgreSQL, Oracle, Mssql) and writing highly optimized SQL. Knowledge of docker container orchestration (such as Kubernetes, ECS). Knowledge of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines (such as GitHub Actions, Travis, Jenkins). Knowledge of Infrastructure as code (such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK). Knowledge of blockchain on-chain data representation. Ability to communicate well both verbally and in writing, with both technical and non-technical partners. Are you an IOGer? Do you find yourself questioning the status quo? Do you tinker with ideas and long to turn those ideas into solutions? Are you able to spark thoughtful debates, bringing out the inquisitiveness in others? Does the promise of continuously growing excite you? Then get ready to reimagine everything you thought wasn’t possible because that’s what it means to be an IOGer - we don’t set limits, we break them.
