About Octav

Founded in 2021, Octav is a financial analytics platform dedicated to empowering the Web3 ecosystem with accurate, actionable insights. We help protocols, DAOs, and asset managers make better decisions with clear, accurate financial data by transforming complex blockchain transaction data into analytics. We are a venture-backed startup with $7M in funding to date.

At Octav, You’ll Have Impact

You won’t just build pipelines—you’ll help shape the future of financial data in Web3, powering decisions for DAOs, hedge funds, and protocols worldwide. As part of a small, agile team, your work will directly influence how on-chain financial analytics are built, scaled, and delivered.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement robust data pipelines to support our product initiatives. This includes extracting, transforming, and loading ETL data from various sources.
  • Automate data workflows and integrate machine learning models to enhance data accuracy and efficiency.
  • Manage and optimize our AWS-hosted services to ensure high availability and performance.
  • Collaborate with the CTO to enhance data architecture, server functionality, and oversee technical resource allocation.
  • Innovation Advocacy: Stay abreast of the latest developments in DeFi, and emerging trends to drive innovation within our data practices.

What We’re Looking For

  • Must be based in Montreal, Canada
  • Startup readiness—flexibility, initiative, and a strong work ethic. This isn’t a 9-to-5 job; it’s a chance to build something impactful.
  • Technical Expertise: 10+ years as a full stack developer with strong proficiency in TypeScript or Python, testing frameworks (Jest or PyTest), and excellent SQL skills.
  • Proven experience with AWS services like EC2, S3, RDS, and Lambda. Experience with Apache Kafka or Airflow is highly desirable.
  • Leadership Qualities: Strong communication and mentoring skills, with experience leading projects and guiding junior engineers.

Why Join Us?

  • Small Team, Big Impact: Be part of a venture-backed startup with $7M in funding, where your contributions matter every day.
  • Ownership and Growth: Work closely with the CTO, take ownership of projects, and grow as a leader in Web3 engineering.
  • Innovative Environment: We’re building fast, learning every day, and pushing the boundaries of financial analytics in Web3.
  • Mentorship: Gain direct mentorship from senior leaders and the CTO, working on cutting-edge data infrastructure.
