Data Engineer, Blockchain

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.

Compensation/Culture

The overall market range for roles at Edge & Node is typically $100k - $500k annually. This market range is based on total compensation (vs. only base salary). Edge & Node has a culture that values meritocracy, personal growth, and an ego-free environment.

About The Graph

The Graph is the indexing and query layer of web3. The Graph Network’s self service experience for developers launched in July 2021. Developers build and publish open APIs, called subgraphs, that applications can query using GraphQL. The Graph supports indexing data from multiple different networks including Ethereum, NEAR, Arbitrium, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, Celo, Fantom, Moonbeam, IPFS, and PoA with more networks coming soon. To date, tens-of-thousands of subgraphs have been deployed on the hosted service, and now subgraphs can be deployed directly on the network. Over 28,000 developers have built subgraphs for applications such as Uniswap, Synthetix, KnownOrigin, Art Blocks, Balancer, Livepeer, DAOstack, Audius, Decentraland, and many others.

If you are a developer building an application or web3 application, you can use subgraphs for indexing and querying data from blockchains. The Graph allows applications to efficiently and performantly present data in a UI and allows other developers to use your subgraph too! You can deploy a subgraph to the network using the newly launched Subgraph Studio or query existing subgraphs that are in the Graph Explorer. The Graph would love to welcome you to be Indexers, Curators and/or Delegators on The Graph’s mainnet. Join The Graph community by introducing yourself in The Graph Discord for technical discussions, join The Graph’s Telegram chat, and follow The Graph on Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Medium! The Graph’s developers and members of the community are always eager to chat with you, and The Graph ecosystem has a growing community of developers who support each other.

The Graph Foundation oversees The Graph Network. The Graph Foundation is overseen by the Technical Council. Edge & Node, StreamingFast, Messari, Semiotic  and The Guild are five of the many organizations within The Graph ecosystem.
