About Dune

Dune is on a mission to make crypto data accessible. We’re a collaborative multi-chain analytics platform used by thousands of developers, analysts, & investors to understand the on-chain world and the frontiers of finance. We’re a team of ~50 employees,  working together across Europe and eastern US timezones 🌍️. We believe in our mission, and in building a powerful, open product that allows individuals and communities to do deep research into important ecosystems like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many more. 

We’re backed by some of the world's best investors. In February 2022, we announced our Series B funding round led by Coatue and Union Square Ventures, an important milestone that allowed us to double down on our mission. We’re using the funds to educate, reward and empower a new generation of onchain analysts aka Wizards 🧙‍♀️

About the role

Dune is pushing the boundaries of real-time data processing, and we’re looking for a talented Rust Engineer to help us build and optimize the next generation of APIs. As an engineer on DevX at Dune, you’ll play a crucial role in developing high-performance, real-time systems that power crypto applications. You’ll work on some of the most cutting-edge technologies directly impacting the user experience.

In this role, you will:

  • 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

You might be a great fit for this role if you:

  • 5+ years experience including 1 year of working with Rust.

  • Have a deep understanding of systems programming concepts, particularly in high-performance or real-time applications.

  • Are familiar with technologies like Parquet or similar and have experience optimizing data storage and retrieval processes.

  • Know how to go deeper than “just use postgres” when building products.

  • Enjoy tackling performance problems, optimizing CPU usage, reducing latency, and implementing efficient caching mechanisms.

  • Enjoy working with customers and solving their problems.

  • Have a strong ability to diagnose complex problems, particularly in distributed and real-time systems, and implement efficient solutions.

  • Work well in a team environment, are comfortable discussing technical issues, and can effectively collaborate with other engineers to achieve common goals.

  • Are excited about exploiting old and exploring new ways to improve system performance and reliability.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
