What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer - Backend position at Bitwise Asset Management?
It's rare that a new asset class is born. Nevertheless, we're witnessing exactly that with the rise of crypto. Over just the last few years, crypto has evolved from an embryonic $50B market to a growing $3T juggernaut. At Bitwise, we believe that crypto has reached a turning point, and is headed north of $10T over the next few years.
This is an exciting moment for Bitwise as a firm. For seven years, we have established a track record of excellence managing a broad suite of index and active solutions across ETFs, separately managed accounts, private funds, staking solutions, and hedge fund strategies. This year, we crossed $12B in client assets and are growing quickly. Thousands of financial advisors, family offices, and institutional investors partner with Bitwise to understand and access the opportunities in crypto. We are known for providing unparalleled client support through expert research and commentary, a nationwide client team of crypto specialists, and deep access to the crypto ecosystem.
Currently, Bitwise is a close-knit team of 90 professionals. Think of us as a mix of an asset manager and a tech start-up. We're backed by some of the most accomplished investors in venture capital and veterans of the financial services world. We love working together, we love what we do, and we're excited about what's ahead.
We're looking for an exceptional individual to join the engineering team to help Bitwise scale and our clients succeed. As Bitwise's next software engineer, you'll be able to have a major impact from day one, within our small, yet quickly growing business. The products and systems you build will touch all parts of the organization and will give you the opportunity to understand our business deeply, which is rare. You need not worry about bureaucracy at Bitwise - we pride ourselves on moving fast and being nimble. We're a tight-knit, multi-disciplinary team and you'll be on the ground floor of what we're building.
What You Will Do
- You'll build products from the ground up - from data infrastructure to backend APIs. You will be able to manage your own work by deciding what needs to be built, communicating with stakeholders directly, and managing your own time. You will be given the autonomy to get work done efficiently without unnecessary bureaucracy.
- As a member of a small team, you will contribute meaningfully to building our engineering organization. This includes playing an important role in making technical decisions, defining Bitwise's engineering standards, and determining best practices. We are not set in our ways and are always willing to explore new technologies and tools.
- You will have the opportunity to experience rapid growth and work on the highest impact initiatives within the company. In the process, you will shape product and engineering strategy at the company.
- You will have the opportunity to spend time learning about crypto and building expertise in a nascent, rapidly changing, and growing industry.
- You will wear many hats, contribute to many projects, and adapt to the needs of a growing organization.
