  • β€’Indexer & Query Backend: Build the data backend that powers the block explorer, partner integrations, and historical state queries.
  • β€’Data & Observability: Build out analytics pipelines (e.g., BigQuery population) and implement robust metrics and event logging using tools like Prometheus, Clickhouse, and Sentry.
  • β€’Cross-Functional Impact: Work across service boundaries, getting comfortable reading code in components you don't own to understand how they behave.

  • β€’Deep understanding of database architecture, indexing, and query patterns.
  • β€’You are a builder who takes ownership of production infrastructure, not just prototypes.
