- Design, implement, and maintain high-performance, real-time APIs using Rust, ensuring they meet the industry-pioneering performance and stability requirements of our users
- Work closely with the team to develop new features, such as better interpretation layers, enhanced data decoding, and improved API coverage for various blockchain data
- Work on performance improvements such as optimizing CPU usage, improving latency, and implementing caching strategies for better data fetching
- Explore and implement cutting-edge data storage solutions, improvements, and future explorations
- Focus on stability improvements, improving recovery processes, and enhancing the robustness of our real-time systems
- Contribute to the internal developer experience by improving local test setups, integration tests, and incremental deployment processes
- Work on one of the fastest engineering teams in the industry
Our take
Dune is a cryptocurrency analytics platform offering users free access to analyse and create analytics dashboards on a range of digital assets, from NFTs to DeFi protocols. It makes crypto analysis easier for those who want to keep on top of metrics with added ease.
Dune decodes Ethereum smart contract data to facilitate analysis with simple SQL queries through its interface. This allows instant visualisation of query results into graphs. Further, the cryptocurrency sector is seeing a surge in valuations, with analytics companies like Coin Metrics and DappRadar enjoying comparable interest. With digital asset trading broadly unregulated, and the technology still very much developing, the value of strong analytics could prove immeasurable going forward.
Founded in 2018, Dune has enjoyed a remarkably swift rise; 2022 funding granted it unicorn status and it is seeing rising popularity in the sector. For now, however, the company is focussed very much on improving accessibility for crypto data, and growing its team.
