Kaiko has recently expanded its offering by creating Kaiko Analytics and Kaiko Indices. These new business units aim at supporting the digital assets investment lifecycle by powering Investment Strategy & Optimisation, Risk Monitoring and Compliance Reporting.


This wide range of products will cover areas such as index construction & valuation, asset pricing and valuation, advanced risk metrics, quantitative data production and investment decision support.


We’re now looking for an experienced Analytics Engineer to join the Engineering team and work alongside the Analytics and Index product teams on the integration of their tools into the Kaiko platform.


The Challenge:


You will be joining a fast-paced engineering team made up of people with significant experience working with terabytes of data. We believe that everybody has something to bring to the table, and therefore put collaborative effort and team-work above all else (and not just from an engineering perspective).


You will be able to work autonomously as an equally trusted member of the team, and participate in efforts such as:



  • Develop and industrialize pricing models, quantitative calculation prototypes, index construction and valuation prototypes

  • Integrate index & analytics tools and libraries into the platform

  • Scale analytics and index calculation services

  • Improving our development workflow, continuous integration, continuous delivery and in a broader sense our team practices

  • Expanding our platform’s observability through monitoring, logging, alerting and tracing

  • Design, develop and deploy scalable and observable backend microservices

  • Reflect on our storage, querying and aggregation capabilities, as well as the technologies required to meet our objectives

  • Work hand-in-hand with the analytics team on developing new features, addressing issues and extending the platform


About You:



  • Significant experience in quantitative development in Python 3, C# or C++

  • Knowledgeable in software development in general: code versioning, release management, testing, etc.

  • Worked with, in no particular order: microservices architecture, infrastructure as a code, self-managed services (eg. deploy and maintain our own databases), distributed services, server-side development, etc

  • Understanding of financial instruments, financial market data and derivatives pricing

  • Comfortable working with massive data querying and management


Nice to have:



  • Golang, Machine Learning and Spark architecture would be a plus Location: Hybrid in our Paris office, or all-remote (+- 2h maximum with CET).


Our Tech Stack:



  • Monitoring: VictoriaMetrics, Grafana

  • Alerting: AlertManager, Karma, PagerDuty

  • Logging: Vector, Loki

  • Caching: FoundationDB, Redis

  • Secrets management and PKI: Vault

  • Configuration management and provisioning: Terraform, Ansible

  • Service discovery: Consul

  • Messaging: Kafka

  • Proxying: HAProxy, Traefik

  • Service deployment: Terraform, Nomad (plugged in Consul and Vault), Kubernetes (to a lesser extent, used for non production critical workloads)

  • Database systems: ClickHouse (main datastore), PostgreSQL (ACID workloads)

  • Protocols: gRPC, HTTP (phasing out in favor of gRPC), WebSocket (phasing out in favor of gRPC)

  • Platforms (packaged in containers): Golang, NodeJS (phasing out in favor of Golang), Ruby (phasing out in favor of Golang)

  • Analytics: Python 3, C# (phasing out in favor of Python 3)


What we offer: 



  • An attractive compensation package, including equity and healthcare.

  • An entrepreneurial environment with a lot of autonomy and responsibilities. 

  • Opportunity to work with an internationally diverse team.

  • The hardware of your choice to help you deliver your best work.

  • Good perks (remote friendly, Swile meal vouchers, multiple team events and staff surprises).


 


Talent Acquisition Process: 



  • Interview with the Talent Acquisition Manager (45 mins)

  • Interview with the Analytics and Engineering team (1h 30 mins)

  • Cross team interviews (2-3 persons, 45m x2)

  • Meeting with VP of Engineering (20mins)
