Emissium now has an exciting opportunity for a talented Data Engineer to join our team and play a key role in our data infrastructure.

Manage and optimize our databases, with a primary focus on PostgreSQL and time-series databases like InfluxDB.
-
Integrate diverse data sources and APIs into our infrastructure, ensuring data is accessible, accurate, and analysis-ready.
-
Continuously monitor and enhance the performance of data systems, ensuring low latency, high availability, and efficient data retrieval.
