## Job description

_Talent Wanted. For hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success._

Fridtjof Nansen crossed the Arctic, going places no human had ever been. Together with our users, we're doing the same onchain: charting entirely new territory.

Nansen is the onchain analytics platform traders and funds use to see what's actually happening on-chain. We label and track 500M+ blockchain addresses, the largest such dataset in the industry.

**Our mission:** Surface the signal and create winners.

_This seat also comes with a defined runway: you'll start as an IC, with a clear path to Engineering Manager within 12–18 months for the right person._

### What you'll do at Nansen

You'll work with data engineers and ML engineers to build the data infrastructure that powers Nansen's customer-facing analytics product.

-   Design, build, and scale data pipelines and infrastructure in ClickHouse, Postgres, Python, and dbt
-   Run the pipelines behind 500M+ labeled addresses, moving terabytes of streaming and batch data every day
-   Partner with crypto researchers, software engineers, and product to shape how data gets modeled, surfaced, and productized
-   Own data quality, reliability, and observability end-to-end. At most analytics companies a wrong number is a support ticket. Here, it's a position someone took.
-   Mentor other data engineers and raise the technical bar across the team
-   Use AI tools and agents to move faster and cut the busywork out of your day

### What we're looking for

-   You've shipped and scaled high-performance data systems in production
-   Deep expertise in SQL and Python, with real hands-on experience in dbt, ClickHouse, and Postgres
-   Strong grasp of streaming data architectures, comfortable operating at genuine scale
-   You work the full data stack: ingestion, transformation, storage, modeling, serving
-   You already build with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and MCPs
-   You write clearly. This team is remote and async, so most decisions get made in writing
-   Bonus: experience leading or managing projects in a smaller team, fluency in onchain data structures, Web3 technologies, and crypto markets

### What we offer our crew

-   Competitive salary. Meaningful equity. Real ownership in what you build
-   Fully remote with support for in-person co-location
-   Annual company retreat and team off-sites in Singapore, Bangkok, or Oslo, with flights and accommodation covered
-   Unlimited AI tokens
-   Your own OpenClaw for work
-   Nansen Pro account: full access to the most detailed onchain data in the market
-   Speed, ownership, curiosity, courage, transparency, simplicity
-   A front-row seat (and a hand in building) the next chapter of finance

_Work visa sponsorship is not provided for this role._

_Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success._
