Software Engineer

As a software engineer in Dune focused on Data you will play a key role in ensuring our data platform scales to accommodate an ever-growing volume of blockchain data. This is a role that involves thinking about large scale distributed systems and distributed databases, and is ideal for anyone passionate about those topics.

We are building a data platform that:

- Can ingest and process petabytes of data

- Allows third parties to ingest data

- Facilitates performant SQL queries across datasets

In this role you will:

- Design and develop distributed systems in a principled way and take part in high impact architectural decisions

- Engage in stimulating technical challenges in topics such as distributed systems, very large databases, SQL processing, data modelling, or systems performance

- Assume ownership of components within our blockchain data platform such as data ingestion and decoding

- Write code mostly in Kotlin and Go with some Java and Rust with a strong emphasis on good design and performance

- Contribute to the internal developer experience by improving local test setups, integration tests, and incremental deployment processes.

- Continually improve how we operate the platform, including seeking opportunities to automate incident diagnosis and resolution using AI

- Work with one of the fastest engineering teams in the industry.

- Building AI agents for automation into the team.

You might be a great fit for this role if:

- You are a strong generalist with fundamental computer science knowledge. You use this knowledge to easily adapt to new technologies and scenarios, and to find the right solutions for the problems at hand.

- You have an understanding of distributed system design, or the drive to learn if you’re a more junior engineer. Our work is as much about understanding and designing systems as it is about coding in a particular language.

- Have an understanding of blockchain technology and RPC interactions

- Have experience with datalakes and formats like parquet, delta, iceberg

- You have great collaboration and communication skills. We work on the principle that the best output emerges from effective team work and constructive discussions.

- Coding experience in any JVM language, along with a zeal for writing well-designed, testable software
