Job Description
As a key member of our engineering team, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the infrastructure that processes blockchain data in real-time. This includes building systems for data ingestion from decentralized networks, implementing transformation pipelines to convert raw blockchain data into structured formats, and creating APIs or data exposure mechanisms to deliver insights to end-users. The solution must support high-throughput data processing while ensuring low-latency performance, data integrity, and seamless integration with existing platforms. You will also play a critical role in defining the architecture for scalable blockchain analytics, balancing technical excellence with business requirements.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate with the founding team to conduct in-depth customer discovery, translating business needs into technical specifications for blockchain data infrastructure.
- Develop and optimize data processing workflows that handle real-time blockchain transactions, smart contract events, and on-chain activity with minimal delay.
- Implement monitoring and alerting systems to ensure the reliability of blockchain data pipelines, with automated failover mechanisms for critical operations.
- Design cost-effective solutions that leverage cloud computing resources and distributed storage systems for handling large-scale blockchain data.
- Establish feedback loops between engineering and product teams to continuously refine the blockchain data infrastructure based on user behavior and market trends.
- Ensure the security and compliance of blockchain data handling processes, adhering to industry standards for data privacy and regulatory requirements.
- Conduct performance testing and capacity planning to maintain system stability under varying workloads and network conditions.
Job Requirements
- Proven experience in building scalable data infrastructure for blockchain or distributed systems environments, with a strong background in real-time data processing technologies.
- Expertise in programming languages such as Python, Go, or Rust, along with experience in developing APIs and microservices for data exposure.
- Deep understanding of blockchain protocols, including Ethereum, Bitcoin, and smart contract ecosystems, with hands-on experience in data modeling and analysis.
- Knowledge of cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure, and experience with containerization tools (Docker/Kubernetes) for deploying blockchain data solutions.
- Ability to work independently while maintaining clear communication with cross-functional teams, including product managers and data scientists.
- Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on optimizing system performance, reducing costs, and improving user experience through technical innovation.
- Experience with data streaming technologies (Apache Kafka, Apache Flink) and distributed databases (Cassandra, MongoDB) for handling high-volume blockchain data.
- Excellent analytical skills to identify bottlenecks in blockchain data workflows and implement scalable solutions that align with business goals.
- Preferred: Familiarity with blockchain security frameworks, consensus algorithms, and experience in leading technical teams or mentoring junior developers.
