Our only careers site ispaxos.com/careers, and we only recruit via @paxos.comemail. Details below.\n___\nAbout Paxos\nToday’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky - supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.\nWe’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world's leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard, Interactive Brokers and Charles Schwab.\nAbout the team\nThe Data Engineering team at Paxos builds and maintains the data infrastructure that powers our engineering partners and analytics teams, providing scalable, reliable, and secure data access for product analytics, business intelligence, client and regulatory reporting, and operational efficiencies. You'll join a small, high-impact group of engineers across US and India time zones, working with teams across the company to continuously enhance our data platform, driving innovation, optimizing costs, and unlocking new revenue opportunities.\nAbout the role\nThe Data Platform Engineer at Paxos serves as an owner of key parts of our data platform, from design through production operation. Depending on the problem, your work may span data pipelines, streaming systems, data lakes and warehouses, databases, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, automation, security, or governance. You will turn ambiguous needs into reliable, maintainable systems and take responsibility for their operational outcomes. We're looking for strong engineering fundamentals, deep experience in at least one relevant area, sound technical judgment, and the ability to learn unfamiliar systems quickly. You don't need experience with every part of our stack: a strong engineer with Spark experience is welcome even though we don't currently use it, because what matters is how you've designed, scaled, and operated data systems.\nWhat you’ll do\nOwn data-platform projects end to end: clarify the problem, evaluate alternatives, design the system, implement and roll it out safely, document it, and operate it in production.\n\nDesign and evolve reliable, scalable, secure, and cost-effective systems for data ingestion, movement, storage, processing, and access.\n\nBuild and improve batch and streaming pipelines and the platform capabilities that support them.\n\nDevelop maintainable software, automation, infrastructure, and CI/CD workflows that make platform changes safer and more repeatable.\n\nImprove observability, performance, capacity management, incident response, recovery, and operational readiness across the platform.\n\nIncorporate security, access control, data protection, and governance requirements into platform design and delivery.\n\nPartner with engineering, analytics, security, compliance, and business stakeholders to understand needs, explain tradeoffs, and deliver pragmatic solutions.\n\nEvaluate and learn new technologies as platform needs evolve, applying sound engineering judgment rather than defaulting to a familiar tool.\n\nUse AI tools thoughtfully to accelerate research, design, implementation, testing, debugging, and documentation while critically validating the output.\n\nContribute to technical direction, design reviews, documentation, and mentoring across a small, high-impact team working across US and India time zones.\n\nAbout you\nA record of independently owning and delivering substantial production systems or platform work from definition through operation.\n\nStrong system-design and problem-solving skills, including the ability to reason about scale, reliability, failure modes, security, cost, maintainability, and migration tradeoffs.\n\nDeep production experience in at least one relevant area, such as data pipelines and ingestion, distributed batch or stream processing, Kafka or similar messaging systems, data lakes or warehouses, time-series databases, PostgreSQL or other operational stores, Kubernetes, or cloud infrastructure.\n\nProficiency in at least one general-purpose programming language and experience writing, testing, reviewing, and operating maintainable production code.\n\nPractical experience with automation, production operations, observability, incident response, and safe software or infrastructure delivery.\n\nDemonstrated learning agility: you have successfully become productive in unfamiliar technologies or domains and can do so without heavy day-to-day direction.\n\nClear written and verbal communication and the ability to collaborate asynchronously across teams and time zones.\n\nActive, responsible use of AI tools in your engineering workflow, paired with strong validation and independent technical judgment.\n\nYou might also have\nExperience with one or more technologies in our current environment, such as Snowflake, Kafka, Kubernetes, AWS, PostgreSQL, Terraform/Terragrunt, dbt, Dagster, data lakes or open table formats, or time-series databases.\n\nExperience designing or operating high-volume ingestion, change-data-capture, batch-processing, or event-streaming systems.\n\nExperience building cloud infrastructure, internal platforms, reusable infrastructure modules, or developer tooling.\n\nExperience with data governance, security, access control, classification, masking, lineage, or identity integrations.\n\nExperience working in fintech, banking, payments, healthcare, or another regulated or security-sensitive environment.\n\nImportant Notice for Paxos Applicants\n Fraudulent accounts sometimes pose as Paxos recruiters on LinkedIn and other platforms, and fake websites sometimes impersonate our careers site.
