Who are we: 

We are a trusted, blockchain-native technology team that delivers leading products for the crypto-asset ecosystem

So, what does that mean? 

We build SaaS solutions and data services to convert crypto data into auditable information to support management, financial and regulatory reporting. Our products automate and optimize accounting, audit and tax processes for funds, fund administrators, OTC and proprietary trading firms, exchanges, miners, protocols and accounting firms - and we are proud to call some of the largest ones our clients. 

Currently, we have raised $25 million in funding and are a series B start-up working out of Flatiron/Union Sq NYC. 

Let’s talk more about why you’re here. Currently, we are looking for a Product Specialist - Reference Data. 

We know, we know...job descriptions never give you the best understanding of the actual experience and the same way that we are making crypto more accountable, our people team is here to make sure we are accountable too (for new team members that is). Here are some questions we thought you’d be wondering about:

  • Being a source of knowledge of the crypto and the financial industries to research market trends, and understand customer issues
  • Growing your knowledge of SQL to analyze issues and interpret data

What challenges/problems will I be solving?

  • Getting to Business-test new features

Why is this important?

At Lukka we have made it a part of our mission to solve many of the problems customers face and make interacting with the crypto asset class simpler and easier. The crypto industry needs reliable reference data to alleviate all the data complexities in this industry and mitigate the risks

Let’s talk about what we are looking for:

  • Knowledge of the financial industry such as the differences between stocks, bonds, derivatives, reference data, pricing data, sectors, ratings; financial governing bodies such as SEC, CFTC, etc.
  • Some knowledge of SQL, such as querying from two different tables
  • Some experience with Agile SDLC methodology

What are some common traits of your team as a whole?:

  1. Growth & Impact
  2. Collaboration & Accomplish
  3. Discover & Create

What’s life @ Lukka like?
