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're a healthy mix of wanting to be in the weeds engineering through solutions, appreciate the value of project management and prioritization, while also seeing that you have a knack for leading people and teams to do their best work individually and as a collective.

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.

• 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.
• 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.
• Leading and Scaling teams: Manage priorities, scope deliverables, and project manage alongside various stakeholders. Be willing to think strategically about team coaching and structure, while also getting your hands in the weeds with data engineering work.
