At Anchorage Digital, we are building the world’s most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto.
Founded in 2017, Anchorage Digital is a regulated crypto platform that provides institutions with integrated financial services and infrastructure solutions. With the first federally chartered crypto bank in the US, Anchorage Digital offers institutions an unparalleled combination of secure custody, regulatory compliance, product breadth, and client service. We’re looking to diversify our team with people who are humble, creative, and eager to learn.
We are a remote friendly, global team, but provide the option of working in-office in New York City, Sioux Falls, Porto, Lisbon, and Singapore. For our colleagues not located near our beautiful offices, we encourage and sponsor quarterly in-person collaboration days to work together and further deepen our Village.
Join us as a founding engineer on our Reporting & Statements team. You'll design the systems that power every financial report and statement we deliver from monthly reports to daily statements to custom client requests. We're building automated frameworks that guarantee accuracy and consistency for every number we send to clients..
We have created the Factors of Growth & Impact to help Villagers better measure impact and articulate coaching, feedback, and the rich and rewarding learning that happens while exploring, developing, and mastering the capabilities and contributions within and outside of the Asset Data role:
Technical Skills:
- Design and implement RESTful APIs and GraphQL endpoints that serve financial data to internal product teams and external clients
- Build service integration layer between backend services and the data platform, ensuring reliable data flow and error handling
Complexity and Impact of Work:
- Shape architectural decisions collaboratively for the API and service delivery infrastructure as a founding engineer on the team
- Balance competing requirements of accuracy, performance, and scalability while delivering reporting products on tight client deadlines
Organizational Knowledge:
- Collaborate closely with Data Engineers on data contracts and SLAs to ensure seamless integration between the data engine and API layer
- Partner with Product teams to design APIs that enable self-service access to financial data
Communication and Influence:
- Champion API design best practices and service reliability standards in partnership with teams across the engineering organization
- Contribute to technical roadmap planning and help build a supportive, collaborative engineering culture for the new team
You may be a fit for this role if you:
- 5-7+ years building backend systems: You have experience collaborating on designing and shipping production APIs and services that handle complex business logic at scale
- Service stewardship mindset: You've been responsible for services end-to-end in production environments and understand what it takes to build reliable, observable, maintainable systems
- API design experience: You're proficient in Go or Python with hands-on experience building RESTful APIs, and you understand how to design interfaces that balance flexibility with performance
- Data-intensive systems: You've built backend services that interact with databases (PostgreSQL, BigQuery, or similar) and understand query optimization, connection pooling, and data consistency patterns
- Cloud-native development: You have experience deploying and operating services on cloud platforms (preferably GCP), including containerization, monitoring, and incident response
Although not a requirement, bonus points if:
- GraphQL experience: You've built GraphQL APIs and understand the tradeoffs between GraphQL and REST for different use cases
- Financial domain knowledge: You've worked in fintech, banking, or similar environments where data accuracy and auditability are critical requirements
- Data platform collaboration: You've worked closely with data engineering teams and understand modern data stack patterns (data warehouses, orchestration, CDC, etc.)
- You were emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system. :)
