What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineer - Backend position at Artemis?
About Artemis
Traditional finance and crypto-enabled finance are merging into digital finance — an open, global financial system for everyone. Stripe launched its own blockchain, JPM is getting involved with stablecoins, Robinhood launched tokenized stocks and its own blockchain.
Finance is moving onchain and it’s accelerating.
Previously platforms like Bloomberg, CapIQ, and FactSet became the information layer on top of finance, growing into $1–$10B ARR businesses. But these platforms weren’t built for a crypto-native world.
Artemis is building the open data platform for digital finance — organizing and standardizing the metrics that matter for blockchains, tokens and stablecoins, all in one place.
Functionally, we offer a “Bloomberg-like” Terminal trusted by Visa, Circle, Tether, Grayscale, VanEck, Franklin Templeton, Solana, Base, and others — alongside Excel plugins, APIs, and Snowflake Data Shares LOVED by some of the world’s largest asset managers.
Our mission is to make crypto’s promise of an open financial system real and to empower anyone, anywhere, to become a world-class investor in digital finance.
Who We Are
"Humans wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success” — Ernest Shackleton, Antarctic Explorer
At Artemis we’re doing really challenging things, very much inspired by Ernest Shackleton’s mindset. Hard things are not for everyone, only the select few who have superhuman-levels of mental fortitude, optimism, compassion, and courage.
If this is who you are — let’s talk!
We’re a passionate group of TradFi ex-analysts, crypto-natives, and folks set on building the future of finance. We come from Meta, Coinbase, Blackrock, Messari, Ribbit Capital, EY Blockchain, and Insight Partners. We raised from the best venture capitalists in the world and would love to tell you more.
We index highly on passion, motivation, and a mindset like Ernest Shackleton’s. No formal experience engineering specifically in crypto, traditional finance, fintech, or investment banking is required.
