Software Engineers in the data platform and clustering teams strike a balance between forward-looking software engineering best practices, and data engineering infrastructure know-how. This team partners with data scientists, research and product teams, helping architect, create and maintain data pipelines. Software Engineers in the data platform and Clustering teams have a deep understanding of blockchain data, are experts at understanding protocol schemas and nuances, build scalable AWS ingest pipelines, lambdas and services.

  • Solid understanding of building data pipelines, lakes and streaming services
  • Some work experience with AWS tools such as S3, Lambdas, and CDKs
  • Experience with running batch and streaming based ETL/ELT pipelines in production
  • Understanding of efficient data structures, algorithms and computational complexity
  • Planned, built, and owned production systems
  • Experience with Python, Java, and/or Typescript
  • The versatility and willingness to learn new technologies on the job
  • The ability to clearly communicate complex results to technical and non-technical audiences
