Kharon is a highly disruptive and incredibly innovative organization that navigates risk at the intersection of global security threats + international commerce.

What does that mean? Great question.

Operating at the nexus of global security, Kharon is on a mission to revolutionize the current landscape. We take really complex data as it relates to global security and empower our clients to not only understand the risk associated with their potential business relationships but to operationalize that data so that they can make the best and most informed decisions possible. From financial crimes and sanctions to export controls and threat identifications, our tools optimize protection against the types of risks that could otherwise be incredibly dangerous and excessively costly to any business. Serving many of today’s leading global financial and multinational institutions, Kharon products are the most powerful in the space with a precision and depth that is absolutely unparalleled. 

When you look at any major global crisis event, we’re providing intelligence that’s at the heart of those circumstances. We connect the dots in a way that’s meaningful. Now, we’re experiencing unprecedented growth. As the world continues to evolve in complexity, so too does the demand for our products. Given the significance of our work and the increasing global reliance on our insights, we are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join us as we work to shape the way businesses perceive and navigate global risks. 

Reporting to the Associate Director of Data Engineering, this role is critical to driving the evolution of the data infrastructure that underpins our intelligence platform. In this senior engineering role, you will help lead in the design and implementation of scalable systems and resilient ETL pipelines that support a suite of analytic products. You’ll contribute to the architecture, tooling, and best practices that ensure structured and unstructured data is ingested, transformed, and delivered reliably, securely, and at scale.
