Data Engineer, Blockchain at Edge & Node

Edge & Node is at the forefront of web3 innovation. Our mission is to establish The Graph as the unbreakable foundation of open data. Our pioneering subgraphs set the industry standard and solidify The Graph as the premier solution for organizing and accessing blockchain data.

At Edge & Node, we champion a decentralized future based on shared values. Dedicated to decentralizing power and resisting censorship, we aim for a robust, permissionless information era free from central control, thus eliminating the traditional vulnerabilities associated with misplaced trust.

The Graph Network Engineering team builds and maintains core software components that power The Graph. As a Blockchain Engineer, you’ll support the development of key technology that enables The Graph’s data services and participate in a growing ecosystem. 

For this role, we are looking for a highly motivated and dedicated Rust Engineer who will support the development of state-of-the-art data services for processing blockchain data. If you’re passionate but don’t have experience with the specific technologies or web3, we encourage you to still apply. We value merit and skill and welcome those willing to learn and grow. 

What You’ll Be Doing

• Develop and maintain data ingestion adapters for various blockchain networks and web3 protocols.
• Implement data ingestion strategies for both historical and recent data. 
• Apply strategies for handling block reorgs.
• Optimize the latency of block ingestion at the chain head.
• Write interfaces with file storage protocols such as IPFS and Arweave.
• Collaborate with upstream data sources, such as chain clients and tracing frameworks, and monitor the latest upstream developments.
• Perform data quality checks, cross-checking data across multiple sources and investigating any discrepancies that arise.

What We Expect

• A self-motivated, team member with keen attention to detail.
• Proactive collaboration with team members and a willingness to adapt to a growing environment. 
• Familiarity and experience with Rust, particularly focusing on data transformation and ingestion.
• A strong understanding of blockchain data structures and ingestion interfaces.
• Experience in real-time data handling, including knowledge of reorg handling.
• Familiarity with blockchain clients like Geth and Reth is a plus.
• Adaptability to a dynamic and fully-remote work environment.
• Rigorous approach to software development that reflects a commitment to excellence.
