About DeFi Orbit
Simplifying multi-chain DeFi portfolio management with intelligent analytics and real-time tracking
DeFi Orbit is at the forefront of blockchain data infrastructure, building high-performance systems that power real-time DeFi analytics and applications. We're looking for exceptional engineers who combine deep blockchain knowledge with data engineering expertise.
The Role
We're seeking a highly skilled Full-Stack Blockchain/Data Engineer who thrives at the intersection of blockchain technology and data engineering. You'll architect and build high-throughput indexers, real-time data pipelines, and conduct deep research into various DeFi protocols across multiple blockchain ecosystems (EVM, Solana, SUI).
This is a role for engineers who want to work on complex technical challenges at scale, diving deep into blockchain infrastructure while building production-grade data systems.
What You'll Do
- Design and build high-throughput blockchain indexers for multiple chains (EVM, Solana, SUI)
- Architect real-time data pipelines processing millions of blockchain events
- Research and integrate various DeFi protocols (Uniswap, Orca, Aave, and others)
- Build full-stack features from UI to database, owning the complete technical stack
- Design schemas and scale databases (PostgreSQL, ClickHouse) for blockchain data
- Develop microservice-based applications using Kafka and Redis
- Handle complex scenarios like chain reorganizations, backfills, and data quality assurance
- Optimize data ingestion and processing for performance and reliability
Required Qualifications
Experience:
- 5-8 years of deep technical experience
- Minimum 3 years of proven DeFi/blockchain experience
- 5+ years overall software engineering experience
Blockchain Expertise:
- Deep understanding of blockchain internals: nodes, mempools, RPCs
- Expert knowledge of smart contracts, logs/traces, and event models
- Experience working with multiple chains (EVM, Solana, SUI)
- Understanding of DeFi protocol mechanics and intrinsics
Data Engineering:
- Large-scale data ingestion and processing
- Change Data Capture (CDC) systems
- Backfill strategies and implementation
- Blockchain reorganization handling
- Data quality frameworks and monitoring
Technical Stack:
- Fluent in TypeScript (this is critical)
- Strong experience with Next.js and Nest.js
- Full-stack capability - comfortable across frontend and backend
- Expert-level PostgreSQL (schema design, scaling, management)
- Experience with ClickHouse database
- Proven ability architecting with Kafka and Redis
- Strong understanding of data structures and algorithms
Soft Skills:
- Ability to own features end-to-end
- Strong research and analytical capabilities
- Excellent problem-solving skills
- Clear communication and documentation
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience with Subsquid or TheGraph
- Deep understanding of AMM and lending mathematics
- Solana or SUI smart contract development
- Experience with other blockchain data indexing solutions
What Makes You Stand Out
- You've built production blockchain indexers or data pipelines
- You can explain complex DeFi protocols and their data models
- You have experience optimizing high-throughput distributed systems
- You've handled petabyte-scale blockchain data
- You contribute to open-source blockchain projects
