About this role
Galaxy Digital is building a real-time analytics platform in Mumbai that processes billions of daily messages across crypto and traditional finance markets, and they're seeking a VP-level kdb+ engineer to anchor this effort. You'd own the stability and performance of their ingestion pipelines, develop kdb Insights modules and queries that power trading desks, and build SRE tooling to monitor their 24/7 AWS infrastructure running q, Python, and Java processes. This is a hands-on technical leadership role in a startup-like environment within a publicly traded, multi-billion-dollar infrastructure company.
The position demands deep expertise: at least five years shipping production kdb+ systems at scale, proficiency with kdb Insights microservices and user-defined analytics, Kubernetes in AWS, and Python data libraries including PyKX. You'll be working with financial data assets spanning both digital assets and traditional markets. Experience with Databricks, Datadog, crypto products, or AI coding agents would strengthen your candidacy, though the core requirement is proven ability to architect and operate large kdb+ platforms reliably.
This role suits someone who wants technical depth and ownership rather than pure management—you're building infrastructure that matters, with colleagues described as smart and entrepreneurial, backed by competitive salary, bonus, and standard corporate benefits. The in-office requirement in India means relocation or local presence is expected.
