Posted on May 15, 2025
Location: Midtown, New York, NY (In-person Mon–Thurs, Remote Fridays)
Team: Data Infrastructure – Mid, Senior, Staff, or Principal Levels
Company:Fun.xyz
Company Description
At Fun.xyz, we believe a tokenized future is a beneficial inevitability, granting financial emancipation to everyone with an internet connection. For a blockchain-first global economy to exist, value exchange must become intuitive, secure, and seamless.
Enter Checkout - the highest converting payment solution in web3. By integrating Checkout, dApps enable users to complete any on-chain action using crypto from a wallet, centralized exchange, or on-ramped fiat from a card or bank account. With access to market-leading routing and their asset portfolio at the point of sale, users are faster, stickier, and more engaged. For dApps, Checkout scales their user acquisition potential without launching new chains or integrating multiple third party providers.
We built Checkout because we envision a world where anyone, anywhere, can purchase anything with any asset. If that sounds like a vision you can get behind, we want to hear from you.
About The Role
We are looking for a talented and driven Data Engineer to join our team at Fun.xyz in the New York City Metropolitan Area. You’ll be at the forefront of designing and scaling the systems that process, analyze, and activate critical data powering our Checkout solution, web3 payments platform, and user analytics.
This role goes beyond just pipelines — you will partner closely with backend, product, and protocol teams to build a robust data foundation that supports real-time decision-making, operational monitoring, compliance, fraud prevention, and token analytics across web2 and web3 ecosystems.
What You'll Do
Build the data foundation behind the next-generation financial ecosystem
Shape how developers and businesses understand and interact with on-chain value
Work with an exceptional team that blends web2 reliability with web3 innovation
Ship quickly, solve hard problems, and make an impact on a global scale
Location and Work Environment
This role is primarily in-person at our Midtown, NYC headquarters. We work together Monday through Thursday for rapid iteration and collaboration, and remote Fridays to focus and recharge.
