Some of the technical challenges we face are

Lots of data — billions of data points to track transactions and market pair prices

Data structures & algorithms — automated transfer detection, cost basis tracking, tax optimization, and more. Your CS fundamentals finally come in handy!

Scalability — some cryptocurrency users, such as algorithmic traders, accumulate millions of transactions per year. CoinTracker needs to work seamlessly for those power crypto traders.

Blockchain — whether it's running our own nodes, implementing xPub address generation and traversal, or parsing smart contracts to seamlessly support decentralized trading, we get our hands dirty with core blockchain technology

Technical complexity — integrating with hundreds of exchanges and blockchains and supporting thousands of cryptocurrencies means we have to methodically architect our software and build critical monitoring systems to deliver a robust and accurate platform

Product challenges — building a consumer finance product that works flawlessly for our global user base and through our partner integrations with top crypto exchanges, marketplaces, and tax-filing software

Our tech stack is

Web: HTML, Typescript, React, React Native, Styled-Components

Mobile: React Native, Expo, GraphQL

Backend: Python, Flask, GraphQL, Postgres, BigTable, Redis, Python RQ

Infrastructure: GCP, Terraform, PostgreSQL, Docker, Pub/Sub, Datadog, PagerDuty

You don’t need to know any or all of these, but be willing to learn!
