• Building and maintaining data processing pipelines that extract and process data from the osmosis blockchain.
• Troubleshooting complex multi-threaded production issues by debugging geo-distributed deployments
• Benchmarking and optimizing code paths to ensure low latency and high availability responses
• Developing and maintaining secure and scalable backend services and APIs.
• Designing a real-time streaming system capable of listening to and reacting to real-time blockchain data and events.
• Contributing to improving our protocol's observability by developing tools for monitoring, analyzing, and reporting on key metrics and behaviors (e.g., incentives).

You may be a fit for this role if you:

• Have at least 4 years of professional software development experience in building and maintaining data-intensive applications.
• Possess a solid understanding of Backend and Data Engineering principles and best practices.
• Have an appreciation for writing performance-oriented code and a deep familiarity with algorithms and data structures
• Have intuition around debugging live production and performance issues as well as familiarity with necessary tooling
• Have a strong understanding of distributed systems and how they can be operated at scale.
• Have strong programming skills, preferably in Go, Python, and/or Rust.
• Have experience in running and operating production workloads.
• Have strong experience with relational and non-relational databases
• Are passionate about blockchains and decentralized technology.
• Possess excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively.
• Demonstrate a proactive approach to problem-solving and ownership of tasks.

Experience that will set you apart:

• Previous experience working on high-scale, highly critical data systems, preferably in DeFi or TradFi.
• Proven record of driving processes from start to production, demonstrating the ability to lead initiatives from the conceptual phase through to successful operational deployment.
• Familiarity with the Cosmos SDK stack.
• Contributions to open-source data projects.
• Experience working in remote and globally distributed teams.

At Osmosis, you'll join a passionate and talented team working at the forefront of DeFi innovation. We offer a competitive compensation package, a collaborative work environment, and the opportunity to make a real impact on the future of finance.
