Summary

We are looking for a data engineer to help design and scale our data infrastructure. We are a data-driven organization and view the data pipelines that influence these decisions as essential team infrastructure. Your role will include architecting and building that infrastructure as well as working with the data analysts who rely on the pipeline. You'll be predominately focused on the Across protocol for the foreseeable future but there is an opportunity to work across the UMA protocol as well.

We believe that many different candidates could be a good fit for this role. Maybe you have a background in building data pipelines at a TradFi or technology firm and looking for your first blockchain related job. Perhaps you have focused mainly on backend development but have a deep familiarity with how blockchain data is organized and processed. Most importantly, we are looking for someone who has deep expertise in building out ETL pipelines and working with data.

Responsibilities

1. Indexing complex onchain data: Design systems that index complex onchain data for ease of use and speedy access. Gas efficient protocols rely on indexing to keep user experiences snappy, pleasant, and cheap.
2. Data engineering: Design and develop large-scale data pipelines to provide the data which drives our understanding of users and our protocol’s real-world performance.
3. Code review and mentorship: Write code in a highly collaborative open source ecosystem. As much of your day will be spent reviewing and designing code as it will be writing new code. We take pride in writing clean code.

Requirements

1. 4+ years full-time experience in Data Engineering at a software, financial services, or related technology organization
2. 2+ years of experience with databases and data pipelines
3. Outstanding critical thinking skills; low ego, high curiosity and comfort in being wrong
4. Demonstrated ability to learn new tech and write secure and clean code 
5. Passion for blockchain technology, cryptonomic protocol design, game theory, and decentralized finance
6. Growth mindset; a desire to learn from and mentor those around you
7. Strong communication and collaboration skills, especially written
8. Experience with blockchain-based projects (hackathons or personal projects as well) is a big bonus, but not absolutely required
10. Language experience is not as important as your demonstrated ability to learn quickly but our stack is simply: Python, Solidity, Typescript, GCP

Salaries for this role range from $100-200k (USD), and your token allocation can grow with your voting rewards while you participate in the growing ecosystem
