FULL REMOTE Software Engineering -Frontend/UX ($150k - $200k + AMAZING Benefits)

Data is one of the fastest growing segments within fintech, but the incumbent financial data providers are still stuck in the past, with cumbersome onboarding processes, APIs that are difficult to integrate, slow infrastructure, and expensive licensing fees.

At Databento, we are building the next generation data platform to power the world's largest institutions - starting with the radical idea that you should only pay for market data on a metered, pay-as-you-go basis.

Since starting in 2019, we've raised over $27.8M in funding and have over 2,000 companies signed up prelaunch. Our team brings years of experience running high-frequency trading desks, and includes alumni from large firms such as Two Sigma, Google, Microsoft and Bloomberg. We provide full health and dental benefits, 401(k) matching, visa sponsorships and support both full remote and on-site work.
