Job Description

About Octav

Founded in 2021, Octav is a financial analytics platform committed to empowering the Web3 ecosystem with precise, actionable insights. We support protocols, DAOs, and asset managers in making informed decisions with clear, accurate financial data by transforming complex blockchain transaction data into valuable analytics. As a venture-backed startup with $7M in funding, we offer an exciting role in a fast-growing company.

At Octav, You’ll Have Impact

You won’t merely build pipelines—you’ll help shape the future of financial data in Web3, driving decisions for DAOs, hedge funds, and protocols across the globe. Being part of a small, agile team means your contribution will directly influence how on-chain financial analytics are constructed, expanded, and delivered.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and Implement: Develop robust data pipelines to support our product initiatives, handling ETL processes from diverse sources.
  • Automate Workflows: Modernize data workflows and integrate machine learning models to boost data accuracy and efficiency.
  • Optimize Infrastructure: Manage and enhance our AWS-hosted services to ensure high availability and performance.
  • Collaborate and Innovate: Work with the CTO to improve data architecture and server functionality, while supervising technical resource allocation.
  • Stay Informed: Keep up to date with the latest in DeFi and emerging trends to drive innovative data practices.

What We’re Looking For

  • Location: Must be based in Montreal, Canada.
  • Startup Readiness: Bring flexibility, initiative, and a robust work ethic. This role offers more than a 9-to-5 job; it's a chance to build something major.
  • Technical Expertise: Over 10 years as a full stack developer with strong proficiency in TypeScript or Python, testing frameworks (Jest or PyTest), and excellent SQL skills.
  • Proven AWS Experience: Familiarity with services like EC2, S3, RDS, and Lambda. Experience with Apache Kafka or Airflow is highly desirable.
  • Leadership Qualities: Strong communication and mentoring abilities, with experience leading projects and guiding junior engineers.

Why Join Us?

  • Small Team, Big Impact: Be part of a venture-backed startup with $7M in funding, where every contribution has significance.
  • Ownership and Growth: Collaborate closely with the CTO, take ownership of projects, and develop as a leader in Web3 engineering.
  • Innovative Environment: We're evolving quickly, learning daily, and pushing the boundaries of financial analytics in Web3.
  • Mentorship: Receive direct mentorship from senior leaders and the CTO, working on state-of-the-art data infrastructure.
