About the role

 You will be the owner of the import experience within the CoinLedger platform which currently processes hundreds of millions of transactions every year spread out across 300+ centralized exchange integrations. Supporting such a significant number of integrations is a large undertaking and will require the ability to implement new systems in order to maintain the quality our users expect.




 
At first, this will be a completely technical role where you work closely with Lucas and Mitchell (CoinLedger’s two technical co-founders) to get familiarized with the system, understand our processes, and take over development for net new and existing integrations. Your goal here is to become an expert with our current approach to building integrations and become a vacuum for new data across crypto platforms that CoinLedger does not yet support.




 
Once this ramp-up phase is complete, your role will transition to a split of managerial work and technical work. You will work alongside the co-founders to bring on a team of 3-4 other developers and help them ramp up with the knowledge you have gained. You and the team will be responsible for continuously shipping improvements to our current integrations, launching new integrations, and working to make the import experience as amazing as possible.




 
With the team in place, your technical responsibilities will shift from individual integration work to leading long term and high leverage projects which will impact the integration experience as a whole. On the near-term roadmap, we have the following in mind:


 



 
Improving import infrastructure to enable real-time transaction syncing from crypto exchanges
 
Building robust monitoring systems to react to breaking changes from crypto exchanges
 
Building new workflows for enabling realtime balances to be fetched from crypto exchanges to assist users with reconciling their transaction history


 

This will be an extremely high impact, challenging role in a fast paced environment. However, you will have the opportunity to shape and impact the creation of a net-new team within CoinLedger from the ground up.




 
We hope you are up for the challenge.
