Join Anchorage Digital's Global Analytics team as a Data and Reporting Architect and shape the technical foundation that powers mission-critical reporting across the organization. You'll design data architectures and reporting systems that ensure accuracy, reliability, and auditability for high-stakes use cases including stablecoin reserves, trading and settlement reconciliation, regulatory reporting, and executive decision-making.

In this role, you'll serve as the technical lead for our most complex data challenges, establishing patterns and standards that the team will follow. You'll work at the intersection of cutting-edge blockchain technology and regulated finance, designing solutions for stablecoin reconciliations, staking operations, custody reporting, and financial settlements. You'll partner with Finance, Compliance, Product, and Engineering, and executive leadership to architect data models and reporting systems that can withstand external audits and regulatory scrutiny while scaling with business growth.

If you're passionate about building reliable data systems, mentoring engineers, and solving hard technical problems in a high-impact domain, this role is for you.

We have created the Factors of Growth & Impact to help Villagers better measure impact and articulate coaching, feedback, and the rich and rewarding learning that happens while exploring, developing, and mastering the capabilities and contributions within and outside of the Data and Reporting Architect role:

Technical Skills:
