Anchorage Digital is building the world’s most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto. They are seeking a founding engineer for their Reporting & Statements team to design systems for financial reports and statements, ensuring accuracy and consistency in data delivery.
Responsibilities:
- Evolve our architecture from decentralized reporting scripts to a centralized, framework-based delivery system
- Build automated validation and reconciliation that lets us scale without adding manual oversight
- Design data models that become a trusted, shared source of truth for downstream product teams and external APIs
- Navigate complexity across multiple product data streams, applying consistent logic to all financial statements
- Work with Product and Foundations teams to standardize how we capture and represent financial data
- Create self-service frameworks so other teams can add new report types through configuration instead of code
- Listen to product stakeholders to stay ahead of scaling needs for client-facing data
- Help mature our engineering culture by advocating for and modeling 'Data as a Product' principles and high-quality engineering standards
Requirements:
- 7+ years building data systems: You have experience creating internal tools, frameworks, or engines that handle 10x scale
- Financial domain experience: You've worked in fintech, banking, or other environments where numbers matter. You understand what a 'Statement of Record' means and the precision it demands
- Systems thinking: You consider the next 100 products, not just the current one. You value extensible systems over one-off pipelines
- Solid technical foundation: You're proficient with Python (Pandas/Polars/Arrow) and SQL, with experience in BigQuery or similar cloud warehouses and modern orchestration tools like Airflow or Dagster

- You've been a data consumer: Prior experience as a financial or business analyst gives you the perspective to design truly usable data models
- You care about performance: You enjoy making data move faster and cheaper, whether through ADBC, multiprocessing, vectorized operations, or other optimizations
