Chainlink Labs is the market leader in providing a decentralized oracle solution for smart contracts to connect to real-world data and market prices of assets.The Data Feeds team seeks to equip oracle operators with proper insights in order to offer services backed by reliable data providers. 

As a senior software engineer on the Data Feeds team, you will work closely with other engineers, analysts and data scientists to build out robust monitoring and analytics of data sources that drive the Chainlink oracle data ecosystem. The current focus is price feeds on centralized and decentralized exchanges - analyzing price, liquidity, volatility, and will quickly evolve to other data types to meet the growing demands of the blockchain ecosystem. You will report to the engineering manager on the team.

Your Impact

• Own the data ingestion of data sources that power Chainlink oracle data offerings. This includes writing services to poll data from traditional APIs and publishing on-chain events to our data collector (Kafka).
• Develop real time and near real time data pipelines to produce datasets that enable data analysts and data scientists to analyze data quality, and power monitoring and alerting in the event that a data provider becomes unreliable (GCP / BigQuery).
• Evolve the architecture of our data ecosystem as we scale the amount of data sources we warehouse.
• Actively participate in leveling the team’s engineering bar, increasing the velocity of the team and the reliability of the product.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional engineering experience working in a collaborative product-driven environment
• Professional experience working on a cloud based big data system (AWS, GCP)Professional experience with SQL
• Successful experience designing, building and scaling a production service
• Experience owning multi month long projects, including communication of progress, dependencies, and risk mitigation directly with stakeholders and partners

Desired Qualifications

• Experience in Golang, Terraform, AWS, Kafka, BigQuery

Chainlink is the industry standard oracle network for connecting smart contracts to the real world. With Chainlink, developers can build hybrid smart contracts that combine on-chain code with an extensive collection of secure off-chain services powered by Decentralized Oracle Networks. Managed by a global, decentralized community of hundreds of thousands of people, Chainlink is introducing a fairer model for contracts. Its network currently secures billions of dollars in value for smart contracts across the decentralized finance (DeFi), insurance, and gaming ecosystems, among others. The full vision of the Chainlink Network can be found in the Chainlink 2.0 whitepaper. Chainlink is trusted by hundreds of organizations—from global enterprises to projects at the forefront of the blockchain economy—to deliver definitive truth via secure, reliable data.  

This role is location agnostic anywhere in the world, but we ask that you overlap some working hours with Eastern Standard Time (EST).
