Senior Software Engineer (OCaml)

Who are we?

Skolem Labs are a stealth startup that provides data and trade execution services for decentralized financial markets. Our systems are built on a deep understanding of the underlying smart contracts and a security research mentality, thereby enabling institutional players to have a one-stop-shop for trading, borrowing/lending, and liquidity providing to generate additional yield.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a software engineer interested in writing composable and efficient code for our financial software platform. This position provides direct experience integrating with financial products and markets. Writing code at Skolem is an enjoyable experience focused on solving difficult problems. We regularly take time to ensure that a feature is done correctly and ensure that technical debts are paid down.

Skolem has a distributed architecture built from the ground up, with an emphasis on security with defined service boundaries and controls. Backend services are written in OCaml and built & tested on every single commit via a CI/CD pipeline. We believe knowledge is acquired on the job and frequently pair program to solve problems or help pass along specific skills. We need your help to bring us to the next level of practical security, not just checking boxes for sales forms. Skolem is, for the time being, still a small company, so you'll have a highly impactful role as we grow into the next stage of our business.

Terraform / Ansible / OCaml / AWS

Expectations:

• Security/Infrastructure job expertise
• Self motivated with attention to detail
• Practical decision making
