Who we are:

We're an ambitious team of researchers, builders, and entrepreneurs with many years of experience in the crypto space, and are passionate about digital assets. With a new product roadmap, we are adding several new products to our portfolio, beyond on-chain data - we are becoming a more comprehensive go-to crypto platform for various needs.

Glassnode is a leading market intelligence platform for on-chain and derivatives data. We offer the most comprehensive library of advanced on-chain metrics and insights for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other digital assets, bringing data intelligence to the blockchain and cryptocurrency space.

With an emphasis on user-centric interfaces, we aim to deliver intelligible, actionable, and unique insights from blockchain data and beyond, helping investors make educated decisions in an overly emotional and irrational market, and equipping blockchain teams with valuable insights on their projects and tokens.

About the role:

The backend team's mission is to maximise the power of data to build impactful insights into blockchain data. You will lead an ambitious team that is designing, building and maintaining Glassnode data infrastructure platforms.

As a Senior Software Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of Software Engineers through all aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle. This will include collaborating on planning, architecture, execution, testing, and delivery. Software Engineering Manager will potentially split their time between hands-on technical work and team leadership responsibilities. Keys to success include a willingness to take on accountability/ownership, a collaborative approach to problem-solving, a focus on team building, and a bias for action.

• Join an innovative, self-funded company in a future-proof analytics and market intelligence segment of web3
• Freedom to own your decisions and experiment, we need driven experts who help us figure out what to do, not for us to point at what needs to be done
