Senior Software Engineer (Streaming Data Pipeline)
Skills
About the Role
You will design and own a high-throughput ingestion pipeline for on-chain events, build stateful streaming jobs, and operate distributed messaging at scale. You will transform raw node output into a canonical on-chain data model for APIs and analytics, embed robust observability, and deploy containerized microservices via modern CI/CD in managed cloud environments. You will contribute through design and code reviews, rigorously test and ship secure, scalable software following best practices.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in CS or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 5+ years in backend/data-infra engineering, including multi-year experience running real-time streaming systems
- Deep experience with distributed streaming and pub-sub platforms; strong grasp of watermarking, checkpointing, back-pressure, and event- vs processing-time.
- Proficiency in a statically typed systems language plus strong SQL and API design skills; proven pipeline design and CDC/data-sink experience.
- Strength in observability, SLOs, and performance tuning (latency, scalability, availability, efficiency, capacity); ability to optimize reliability and cost at scale.
- Familiarity with blockchain data lifecycles, token standards, event ingestion/traces, common data schemas, market-data pipelines, and modern analytical databases.
Responsibilities
- Design and own a high-throughput ingestion pipeline for on-chain events with strong delivery guarantees.
- Build stateful streaming jobs and operate distributed messaging at scale (partitioning, replication, retention).
- Transform raw node output into a canonical on-chain data model for APIs and analytics; integrate external data where needed.
- Embed robust observability and automated recovery so systems self-heal under load.
- Deploy containerized microservices via modern CI/CD and infrastructure automation in managed cloud environments.
- Contribute through design/code reviews; rigorously test and ship secure, scalable software aligned with best practices.
