Blockchain Data Wizard

Essence of the role

• Live and breathe blockchain data such that a poorly designed data schema drives you nuts

• Believes that one additional unnecessary LEFT JOIN to get the right columns you need is a descent into madness

• Enjoys collaborating with teammates and the industry to decode new events together in this blitz-paced environment

• Not afraid to jump in and lead the biggest airdrops of 2024 (we collaborated with Jupiter and Jito to protect their airdrops from sybils, more such fast paced projects to come)

• Be able to execute on the boring stuff AND never afraid to push the boundaries. Do we need to build another 1000 schemas? Yes. Should we try and cluster every single wallet at scale for billions of wallets to fight sybils at the same time? YES.

About The Role

• Sherlock & Enola Holmes level of curiosity to find peculiarities in the data and help the industry redefine the narratives. (e.g. We have helped Brevan Howard Digital and Nic Carter with their industry-defining Stablecoin Reports)

• Ability to parse and understand new blockchain schemas fast and well (We have EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, Ordinals, Tron)

• Good enough understanding of NFT, DEXs, Decoded Logs, and Smart Contracts to transform the data to the product and customer's needs quickly

Why join us

• Define the Standard for the industry - If you want to be part of a team that defines the enterprise data standard of the industry, this is your chance to create Reliability and Quality benchmark standards (or debt) that will echo for decades. We work with leading companies - powering Phantom Wallet's data backend, Grayscale's Research team, Magic Eden's data science team, and many more.

• Care about data problems - Allium at its heart, is helping other companies with data plumbing. The entire tech industry (not just crypto) is evolving - Data Teams are now first-class citizens (https://tomtunguz.com/data-product-teams/). This is part of your change of setting best practices for data modeling and engineering beyond crypto. Most of our internal data processes we have built extends to every other industry, we are at the forefront of this.

• Be part of the rapid change - Allium has to continually reinvent its internal and engineering processes to keep up to date with what is happening with the industry and business. You will get to learn how to ship while still upgrading existing workflows in parallel.

• Contribute to all parts of the business - Learn all cross-sections of the business, outside of your domain - whatever it takes for the team to get a win, you will be part of it.

• Giant infrastructure budget per head - You will make mistakes, costly mistakes, but at Allium's expense. We have an internal leaderboard of the costliest infrastructure mistakes made, and we learn from them. Mistakes that very few engineers in the world even have the opportunity to make. We don't have fancy Michelin-starred meal budgets, but we have a huge infrastructure budget for you to get better at your craft. And that's what counts to improve.

• Front-row seat to building a fast-accelerating startup - if you ever wanted to start your company one day, learn how to do it by being part of one; it is my (Ethan here, cofounder) commitment to mentoring you about running startups if you have any questions. I have spent most of my life devouring nearly every tech gospel book, twitter influencer thread, GPT remix of tech tenets and stories. I am more than overjoyed to share this experience in an applied setting at Allium itself every single day.

Could Allium be the wrong fit for you? Allium isn't for you if you...

• Only work smart, not hard - Working smart is not enough. Everyone here works hard despite their previous success and takes nothing for granted.

Even if an individual can get the job done with less effort, there is always something to improve, something more to do. There are plenty of companies out there that will let you cruise, Allium is not one of them.
