Role

Who you are

We are looking for someone who has deep expertise in building out ETL pipelines and working with data
4+ years full-time experience in Data Engineering at a software, financial services, or related technology organization
2+ years of experience with databases and data pipelines
Outstanding critical thinking skills; low ego, high curiosity and comfort in being wrong
Demonstrated ability to learn new tech and write secure and clean code
Passion for blockchain technology, cryptonomic protocol design, game theory, and decentralized finance
Growth mindset; a desire to learn from and mentor those around you
Strong communication and collaboration skills, especially written
Experience with blockchain-based projects (hackathons or personal projects as well) is a big bonus, but not absolutely required
Language experience is not as important as your demonstrated ability to learn quickly but our stack is simply: Python, Solidity, Typescript, GCP

What the job involves

We are looking for a data engineer to help design and scale our data infrastructure
We are a data-driven organization and view the data pipelines that influence these decisions as essential team infrastructure
Your role will include architecting and building that infrastructure as well as working with the data analysts who rely on the pipeline
You'll be predominately focused on the Across protocol for the foreseeable future but there is an opportunity to work across the UMA protocol as well
Indexing complex onchain data: Design systems that index complex onchain data for ease of use and speedy access. Gas efficient protocols rely on indexing to keep user experiences snappy, pleasant, and cheap
Data engineering: Design and develop large-scale data pipelines to provide the data which drives our understanding of users and our protocol’s real-world performance
Code review and mentorship: Write code in a highly collaborative open source ecosystem. As much of your day will be spent reviewing and designing code as it will be writing new code. We take pride in writing clean code

Our take

Risk Labs is the foundation and core team behind UMA, Across. The company has set out to build a decentralized blockchain ecosystem, rooted in verifiable truth and transparency, making crypto more usable, accessible, and efficient. UMA was one of the earliest protocols to emerge within the decentralized finance sector and it (along with Across) is supported by the second biggest crypto network, Ethereum.

While Risk Labs itself has not raised funding since 2018, efforts have been made to raise capital for its other entities. These rounds have been very successful, such as Across' $10M raise in late 2022. It’s significant that well-known early-stage VC Two Sigma Ventures has invested in the entire umbrella of companies.

The company has nearly tripled in size since 2020, and remains focused on hiring as it is set to roll out new product launches and upgrades to its projects (such as UMA 2.0).
