Benefits offered by this job

Annual onsite team events

Job summary

Keyrock is expanding its Central Data Team (CDT) to build a data platform serving trading desks, wealth and asset management, product, risk, finance, compliance, and research. You’ll shape data contracts, lakehouse design, and governance in a fast, open environment.

You’ll own end-to-end data pipelines, tooling, and analytics while collaborating with Architecture, Infrastructure, Platform, and other teams. Remote-first with occasional onsite collaboration.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of building production data systems that other people rely on.
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL: able to reason about engine behavior.
• Readable, testable, and maintainable code.
• Strong understanding of data modelling for streaming and analytical workloads.
• Efficiency, quality, idempotency, and observability are taken seriously by default.

Responsibilities

• Build streaming and batch pipelines that ingest, normalise, and distribute market, trading, and portfolio data, resilient to feed and exchange failures.
• Build self-serve tooling (SDKs, patterns, templates, AI agents) so teams publish, consume, and build on data products without waiting on us.
• Own data contracts and schema evolution. Keep schema changes from turning into multi‑team coordination events.
• Design the lakehouse and time-series layer around consumer query patterns.
• Build and evolve the Data Governance and Data Quality Framework: stale-feed detection, schema validation, etc.
• Build the derived analytics the business runs on: cross-exchange spreads, VWAP at depth, etc.
• Make observability, cost, and performance first-class from day one.
• Treat infrastructure as code (Docker, Terraform, CI/CD) alongside Central Infrastructure Team.
• Work in the open: write things down, partner with Architecture, Infrastructure, Platform, and the rest of the teams.
