You're curious about crypto and energized by working at the intersection of finance and emerging technology.
What You’ll Do:

- Partner with product, analytics, and infrastructure teams on design and delivery of platform improvements
- Troubleshoot production issues and drive the fixes
- Embrace and champion the thoughtful adoption of AI to improve team performance and business outcomes.
- Leverage AI tools (e.g., generative AI, automation platforms, data copilots) to improve productivity, decision-making, and output quality in your day-to-day work.
What We’re Looking For:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
- 5+ years building data or platform engineering systems in production
- Strong coding skills in Python or Java
- Experience operating production data platforms on AWS and supporting downstream teams who build on them
- Hands-on with Kubernetes and Terraform
- Experience running Kafka (or a similar broker) in event-driven systems
- Working knowledge of Databricks/Spark, dbt, and Airflow
- Solid grasp of data modeling, data quality, and relational and non-relational databases (e.g., Postgres, SQL Server)
- Comfortable with CI/CD, testing frameworks, and observability tooling
Bonus Points:
- Experience with dashboarding technologies
- Experience with streaming engine (flink, kdb)
- Full lifecycle development of a commercial system, including: requirements definition, agile planning, releasing, and production support

About this role
Galaxy Digital is building infrastructure for crypto and digital assets at scale, and this VP role sits at the center of that mission—leading the data platform that enables the company's trading, advisory, and data center operations. You'd own the full stack: designing and operating the systems that let internal teams ship data pipelines autonomously, managing Kafka-based event architecture, running high-throughput processing on Spark and AWS, and keeping everything reliable as the platform scales. This is hands-on leadership, not management removed from code.
The role demands deep production experience across the modern data stack—Python or Java, Kubernetes, Terraform, Databricks, dbt, Airflow—plus the judgment to operate systems that other teams depend on. You need at least five years building data platforms in production, ideally with exposure to crypto or finance. Beyond technical chops, Galaxy values builders who write clean code, think about developer experience, and move fast without breaking things. You'd partner across product, analytics, and infrastructure teams to design improvements and troubleshoot production fires.
If you're energized by working at the intersection of infrastructure and emerging technology, thrive in a culture that values transparent feedback and independent decision-making, and want to operate systems that matter at a growing company, this is worth a close look. The in-office requirement in Indiana is a practical constraint to confirm upfront.
