About Bitwise
Bitwise is a leading crypto asset manager, overseeing $12B in client assets through a diverse range of investment solutions, including ETFs, separately managed accounts, private funds, staking solutions, and hedge fund strategies. Trusted by thousands of financial advisors, family offices, and institutional investors, we empower our partners to navigate and seize opportunities in the crypto market.

Recently, we raised a $70M funding round reinforcing our position as profitable, innovative leaders in digital assets. We're backed by top-tier investors like Electric Capital, MassMutual, Highland Capital, MIT Investment Management Company, Haun Ventures, ParaFi Capital, etc.

We're deeply committed to the crypto ecosystem, donating 10% of gross profits from our Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and Ethereum ETF (ETHW) to support open-source software development—contributing over $250,000 last year alone to organizations like Brink, OpenSats, Protocol Guild, and PBS Foundation.

Our lean engineering team is at the heart of our success, building cutting-edge solutions that drive critical company functions. You'll work closely with key stakeholders in a collaborative, high-impact environment where autonomy and adaptability are key.

At Bitwise, engineers are empowered to act as their own product managers, setting priorities, defining timelines, and delivering impactful solutions that push our business forward. Join us to shape the future of finance with code that matters.

What You'll Do:

  • Build backend systems in a modern monorepo. Work hands-on in a TypeScript + Node.js codebase, designing and developing backend services that power APIs, job schedulers, and index calculation engines. You'll write clean, testable code that supports both real-time and batch processing.
  • Redesign and scale our job orchestration framework. Help the greenfield overhaul of our Node-based jobs infrastructure to create a fault-tolerant system supporting cron-like scheduling, DAG-based dependencies, and cross-language compatibility. Your work will enable scalable execution pipelines that are critical to our business operations.
  • Maintain and evolve our data pipeline. Own key pieces of our modern data stack—including Fivetran for ELT processes, DBT for transformations, and Snowflake for warehousing—ensuring data integrity and quality for critical analytics purposes. You'll be responsible for the correctness and reliability of our data workflows.
  • Collaborate directly with leadership. Work closely with the CTO, senior engineers, and business leaders in our tight-knit team to scope, prioritize, and ship improvements to internal tooling and backend systems. You'll help manage timelines and expectations while balancing long-term vision with immediate business needs.
  • Drive reliability and operational excellence. Join the on-call rotation, monitor system performance, and contribute to observability practices that keep our systems highly available and performant. You'll play a key role in incident response and infrastructure reliability.
  • Contribute to engineering culture. Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and sprint planning. You'll help set quality standards and mentor others through collaboration and example.

What We're Looking For:

  • 2-5 years of real world software engineering experience
  • Proficiency in at least one modern backend language (e.g., TypeScript, Python, C++, Go, Java)
  • Experience with data pipelines, databases, and cloud platforms (e.g., Mongo, Snowflake, AWS, Heroku)
  • Familiarity with monitoring tools like Datadog and Sentry along with best CI/CD practices
  • (Plus) Experience designing and implementing fault-tolerant distributed systems
  • (Plus) Knowledge of job orchestration frameworks and DAG-based workflow systems
  • (Plus) Experience with modern ETL/ELT processes and data transformation tools
  • (Plus) Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent

  • Recruiter Interview (30 minutes)
  • Technical Interview with Hiring Manager (45 minutes)
  • Take-home Project
  • Interview with CTO (30 minutes)
  • Interview with a stakeholder from another department (30 minutes)
