Job summary

Dune is seeking a backend data engineer to own the lifecycle of curated datasets from raw chain data to production-ready models and services. You will design architectures that scale, coordinate thousands of models, and propagate changes without breaking downstream consumers.

You will implement contracts between ingestion and curation, and build data quality signals. Expect a hybrid role working across Go, Kotlin, Rust, Python and SQL.

Qualifications

• You are a backend engineer who has gone deep on data systems or a data engineer who became a strong software engineer.
• You have built or extended orchestration and scheduling systems and can explain what breaks at scale and why.
• You have handled schema evolution and data correctness in a system with real downstream consumers.

Responsibilities

• Design and build the control plane for our curated data lifecycle: dependency-aware orchestration, backfills, restatements, retries, partial failure, and recovery.
• Decide, dataset by dataset, whether the answer is a model, a service or a job, and own that architecture through production.
• Design the contracts between ingestion and curation so a dataset can be reasoned about end to end.
• Build alerting and data quality signals that catch real problems and stay quiet otherwise, so on-call is about incidents rather than noise.
• Work across Go, Kotlin, Rust, Python and SQL, choosing the right tool rather than the familiar one.
• Break large problems into work other engineers can own, and sequence it so we ship something useful early.
