About the Job

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C. is seeking a Fellow to work in the Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology Office (FinHub). We are excited to offer this dynamic Fellow position to coders with a background in data science or software engineering and an interest in distributed ledger technologies (DLT) and financial technologies (FinTech). We are looking for someone who can both read and write code in several of the most popular languages used in DLT (including those that underpin crypto-assets and “DeFi”) and who has the ability to apply that baseline skillset to emerging technologies. While an extensive knowledge of the crypto-asset or financial markets is not required, an interest and substantive experience in either – or both – is strongly preferred. This position is geared toward doers who are interested in joining an agile, multidisciplinary team and working on cutting-edge issues that impact the financial industry. Candidates should be excited to educate themselves and others regarding cutting-edge FinTech through topic-based deep dives and sprint analyses.

Please visit our website for more information on FinHub: https://www.sec.gov/finhub.

MISSION STATEMENT: FinHub advances the Commission’s mission to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation by serving as the central hub for issues and initiatives related to technology-enabled innovation in financial services. FinHub utilizes and augments existing institutional expertise concerning cutting-edge technologies and innovation, as advancements in these areas foreshadow the future direction of the financial industry. A core FinHub role is to identify, integrate, and assimilate new technological developments and, in turn, help educate staff across the Commission on the intersection of these technologies and the federal securities laws.
