About the role

Dune’s data team turns raw on-chain activity into trustworthy, reusable datasets that power dashboards, products, and research. We’re hiring a Data Engineer to build and operate reliable pipelines, model complex protocol mechanics into durable schemas, and scale curated datasets across chains.

• Build and orchestrate reliable pipelines using modern schedulers and control planes to handle high-volume community contributions

• Partner with product, go-to-market, and community contributors to unlock clear user value and faster time to insight

• Replicate curated datasets efficiently into Kafka, Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks with appropriate partitioning, compression, and change data capture strategies

• Solid computer science fundamentals, system design skills, and experience in public cloud and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes)

• Ability to analyze, debug, and resolve data pipeline and modeling issues independently in a remote, async environment

• Strong blockchain data intuition, including reading transactions, events, and traces

• Interest in query engine internals and performance optimization

• Experience with data lakes, large-scale data processing, and systems performance

• Familiarity with CI for data, observability, cost optimization, and leveraging AI tools to accelerate development and operations
