Your next career starts here.

Your role

Turnkey generates massive amounts of high-value data. As our first dedicated Data Engineer, you’ll design and build the foundation for how that data is collected, stored, queried, and secured.

You’ll own the end-to-end data lifecycle: defining how data flows from our production systems into analytics, building pipelines and tooling to make it usable, and helping us decide when to buy vs build. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Operations, and Product to make sure Turnkey’s data infrastructure scales with the company and supports everything from internal dashboards to onchain analytics.

This is a high-impact role with room to define the roadmap. You’ll shape our data strategy, ensure reliability and correctness, and enable teams across Turnkey to make better decisions, all while prioritizing security and performance.

What you’ll do

• Design and implement the architecture for Turnkey’s data stack, from ingestion to analytics and visualization
  

• Work with Operations and Engineering to assess and improve current approaches
  

• Build reliable, secure pipelines to extract and transform data from production systems
  

• Establish data models, schemas, and best practices for analytics, monitoring, and internal reporting
  

• Evaluate and implement scalable ways to incorporate onchain data into our systems — whether through internal services or third-party providers
  

• Collaborate with Product and Engineering to define data interfaces that power new features and internal tools
  

• Manage data infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes, ensuring it remains cost-efficient, performant, and compliant with security requirements
  

• Drive a culture of data correctness, observability, and accessibility across the company
  

What we’re looking for

• 3+ years of experience in data engineering or backend engineering with a strong data focus
  

• Deep understanding of modern data architecture: warehouses, pipelines, event streams, ETL/ELT frameworks
  

• Strong programming experience (ideally Go or Python) and familiarity with SQL and schema design
  

• Comfort operating within AWS (S3, Lambda, Athena, RDS, etc.) and modern orchestration frameworks
  

• Proven ability to work with production-scale data systems and design for security and reliability
  

• Thoughtful, pragmatic mindset — you can make tradeoffs between elegance and speed
  

• Excited to build foundations from scratch and own the roadmap for Turnkey’s data infrastructure
  

Style points

• Experience in crypto, fintech, or high-security environments where data integrity and access control matter
  

• Familiarity with Grafana, ClickHouse, or data visualization and alerting tools
  

• Experience integrating onchain data sources or blockchain indexing tools
  

• Exposure to data governance, compliance, or SOC2 controls
  

• Curiosity about verifiable systems, privacy-preserving analytics, and next-gen data integrity tech
  

What We Offer

• Full benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, HSA/FSA, 401(k)

• Paid parental leave

• Unlimited PTO

• $3,000/yr learning and development budget to attend industry conferences

• Multiple team offsites per year

• Macbook Pro laptop

• Lunch stipend
