What the job involves
- The Data team is looking to hire a Staff Data Engineer to design and execute on the next iteration of our data systems. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to design web3 analytics systems that run at web2 scale, reliability, and robustness. Interested candidates will have the opportunity to help define the new standards for blockchain analytics on top of the world’s premier object-centric blockchain
- This role requires a combination of high capacity hands-on individual contributor work and planning data architecture. As a Staff Data Engineer you will partner with the heads of Data and Engineering to effectively and smoothly process high-volume data in a reliable and robust way. You will get to touch all parts of the business at Mysten Labs and become the expert on data structures on the Sui blockchain

- Build robust, reusable frameworks to ingest data from internal sources (e.g., Prod DBs, cloud buckets, etc) and external APIs or files (e.g., CSVs, webhooks)
- Ensure idempotency, backfill support, and error handling in pipeline design
- Optimize and own data warehousing, with clear table definitions, schemas, cost efficiency
- Architect a centralized data lake/warehouse with clear schemas and partitioning strategies
- Support both batch and streaming workloads, and optimize for cost and performance
- Enable data discoverability, usability, and governance
- Implement or integrate data cataloging and lineage tools
- Define naming conventions, documentation standards, and ownership metadata to make data self-serve and intuitive for data scientists, analysts, and product / GTM teams
- Set up a mechanism for scalable access controls (with RBAC or ABAC), PII tagging, and data obfuscation
- Enable approaches for data quality checks, validation pipelines, and alerting for broken or stale data
- Develop a strong understanding of how to use on-chain and off-chain data together
Our take
Mysten Labs was created with the ambition to build a blockchain comparable to Ethereum or Solanan - but with even greater capabilities. That means tackling pain points currently found in blockchain technology, like scaling transactions and speed to meet growing demand.
To do this, Mysten is building foundational infrastructure for Web 3.0 which supports the accelerated development and adoption of decentralized services. The startup is determined to build a platform that finally lets Web 3.0 developers focus on UI, without compromising on security.
The company has focussed on expanding partnerships with existing networks such as Ethos and Orange Comet Partners, who have integrated Mysten technology, as well as open protocols based on Mysten-designed components. Ensuring that it assigns developer and community outreach resources in the right places will be crucial to building a sustainable business in this relatively young space.
