Software Engineer

Cloudburst Technologies - Remote, US

About Us

Cloudburst is a seed-funded New York-based remote-first company helping customers with detection, prevention, and investigation into cryptocurrency market manipulation and fraud.

Cloudburst provides regulators, financial institutions, trading platforms, and others with access to a real-time, machine-readable crypto market monitoring tool, enabling advanced levels of diligence and customer/market protection. The Cloudburst team has multiple years of experience working together, plus it has worked directly with international law enforcement agencies and policymakers on cybercrime, terrorism, and high-level financial fraud.

What We're Looking For

We want to hire full-stack engineers but are specifically looking for a front-end engineer who is comfortable building a UI/UX from Django templates initially but moving towards a React-based system.

The ideal software engineer candidate

Will expect to work as an individual contributor (IC) for the majority of their time. They are responsible for owning and completing product feature-specific projects. We are not big enough for candidates who wish to spend most of their time doing management, architecture, or strategy.
Is an empathetic teammate who loves to help others, to bring order to chaos, and to document their path for others to follow
Enjoys working in an early-stage environment with many different tasks and systems to manage and own
Plans to be a pillar of the department for multiple years
Has high moral and ethical standards
Is proficient in production-level Python and Django
Has worked in a threat intel or security environment
Is interested in developing tools to prevent cryptocurrency fraud
Is deeply familiar with online chat platforms, crypto communities, etc.

What You Will Do

You will help the Engineering Department to create software products as well as data products. Ideally you will help to build an interface brand and product that blends threat intel and crypto.

You are expected at a Senior+ level to be able to create large components of the stack compatible with other existing systems and then maintain them.

We don’t expect you to know everything coming in, but you will be onboarded and trained into how to use APIs for different communications platforms, how to look at crypto transaction data, and where to look in the deep and dark web as well as through OSINT for potentially useful data.

What You Will Be Using

Python
Infrastructure as code applied to cloud providers (Terraform, k8s)
Different data stores (relational, columnar, key-value, graph, etc.)
Version-controlled SQL and ETL tools
Data science flows and MLOps
Django templates

Why Cloudburst?

At Cloudburst we want to minimize our software engineers working on pixel-pushing and to maximize time spent understanding our domain and building products to help our customers investigate and prevent fraud.

We care about developing and sponsoring our engineers internally. The department adheres to these principles:

Rapid deployment of innovative new techniques for signal generation and attribution
KISS architecture that doesn’t get in developers’ or R&D’s way; we want code to be easy to understand, less abstract, easy to test, fast to deploy, and reducible to automation or simple manual processes
Building a diverse, unconventional team that cross-trains and grows together without ego or sacrifice to work-life balance
