Full Stack Engineer, Reporting Systems - Contract 6mo

Polychain is seeking a versatile Full Stack Engineer to architect and build the data pipelines, APIs, and user interfaces that power our reporting systems. You’ll work across the stack—from ingesting crypto-asset data from exchanges and block explorers, to building performant APIs, to designing intuitive dashboards that help portfolio managers monitor holdings, vesting schedules, and counterparty risk.

• Design, implement, and secure REST/GraphQL endpoints for both on-chain and off-chain data.
• Automate data ingestion from exchanges, DeFi protocols, custodians, and OTC counterparties.
• Optimize data pipelines for reliability, low latency, and secure transmission.
  
  

• Normalize diverse crypto data types (trades, transfers, vesting events, price feeds).
• Manage both relational and NoSQL databases; fine-tune indexing and partitioning strategies.
• Write performant queries to power real-time dashboards and analytics.
  
  

• Build and maintain accounting dashboards using React and TypeScript (or similar frameworks).
• Translate complex datasets into intuitive visualizations—tables, charts, KPIs.
• Follow best practices in state management, testing, and accessibility.
  
  

• Integrate internal microservices, third-party APIs, and on-chain data sources.
• Extend or maintain low-code tooling (e.g., Retool) when it accelerates delivery.
  
  

• Work closely with teams across Asset Operations, Finance, and Investments to gather requirements and iterate on solutions.
• Document APIs, data models, and UI components to support easy handoffs and team scaling.
  
  

• Uphold data privacy principles and enforce crypto-specific security best practices.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to threat modeling and secure architecture.
  
  

Required:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or related field.
• 3–5 years of professional full-stack engineering experience.
• Backend proficiency with Go, Node.js, or Python.
• Frontend expertise with React and TypeScript (or equivalent).
• Proven experience designing, building, and consuming APIs at scale, ideally involving crypto or fintech data.
• Advanced SQL skills and comfort working with Postgres, BigQuery, or similar.
• Experience visualizing data using tools like D3, Recharts, or Plotly.
• Solid understanding of blockchain fundamentals: on-chain transactions, smart contract events, and DeFi protocols.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams.
• Comfortable working in ambiguity and iterating quickly in a fast-paced environment.

Competitive Compensation:  $150/hour (dependent on experience).
