Senior Software Engineer at Bitwiseinvestments

We are living through the birth of a brand new asset class. In just four years, the cryptocurrency market has surged from a $50 billion niche to a massive ecosystem worth over $1 trillion, and we believe it is on a trajectory to exceed $10 trillion in the coming years. At Bitwise, our mission is to help mainstream investors navigate this complex landscape by providing accessible and clear opportunities to engage with crypto. We are a tight-knit, multi-disciplinary team, and we are looking for someone who wants to be on the ground floor of a company that is actively shaping the future of digital finance.

The opportunity

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our growing team. This is a chance to make a significant impact from your very first day. Because we operate as a nimble, fast-moving business, you will gain a deep understanding of our entire organization rather than being siloed into a single department. You will help us scale our systems, influence our technical direction, and contribute to the research and governance initiatives that define our presence in the crypto space.

A day in the life

• You will build products from the ground up, managing the full lifecycle from data infrastructure and backend APIs to the user interface, while collaborating directly with stakeholders.
• You will play a key role in shaping our engineering culture by defining technical standards, selecting the best tools for the job, and making architectural decisions.
• You will wear many hats, jumping between projects to support our rapid growth while building deep expertise in the evolving world of cryptocurrency.

Who you are

You are an analytical thinker who balances a love for detail with a bias for action. You thrive in environments where things change quickly and you are eager to take ownership of your work while maintaining strong, collaborative relationships with your teammates. You communicate with clarity and are always looking for ways to improve.

To be successful in this role, you should have at least 3 years of software development experience and a strong desire to grow your career within the crypto industry. While you do not need to be an expert in every tool we use, you should be comfortable working across the stack and excited to learn new technologies. Our current environment relies on React and Node for our web platforms, Scala, Spark, and Kinesis for backend calculations, and Python for research scripts. We manage our data with Firebase, MongoDB, and Postgres, with most infrastructure hosted on AWS.

Why you'll love it here

We offer a competitive salary range of $140,000 to $200,000, paired with equity compensation to ensure you have a stake in our collective success. We provide a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being and long-term goals.

• Equity compensation as part of every offer.
• Comprehensive dental and vision insurance.
• Company-funded 401k plan.
• Unlimited paid time off and 10 company-wide holidays.
• A flexible hybrid work environment.
• Supportive perks including a company-provided cell phone or stipend, office meals, and a dedicated buddy program to help you settle in during your first 30 days.
