Who?We are Arda, a modern full-stack data infrastructure platform for blockchain data.We are building a set of tools for web2 institutions and web3 companies to access, analyse and act on data and insights.We are backed by world-class investors including Y Combinator, Tribe Capital, PayPal, Picus Capital &amp; Hashed. Pranay (CEO) and Ram (CTO) are the founders. We have combined experience of 20+ years of building fintech, crypto and tech products for businesses &amp; customers across the world at companies such as Cloud Kitchens, PayPal, TransferWise, and Amazon, among others.We are looking for data engineers who will help shape the tech, product and culture of the company. We are a pre-product-market fit company, so expect things to move fast (not a cliche) and change directions as we twist and turn to get to P-M fit.What to expectWe are looking for blockchain engineers who will help shape the tech, product and culture of the company.
