Database Administrator

Edge & Node is at the forefront of web3 innovation. Our mission is to establish The Graph as the unbreakable foundation of open data. Our pioneering subgraphs set the industry standard and solidify The Graph as the premier solution for organizing and accessing blockchain data.

At Edge & Node, we champion a decentralized future based on shared values. Dedicated to decentralizing power and resisting censorship, we aim for a robust, permissionless information era free from central control, thus eliminating the traditional vulnerabilities associated with misplaced trust.

The Graph Node & Infrastructure team is focused on developing and maintaining core software components that make The Graph work. We are especially focused on graph-node, an open source Rust implementation that provides subgraph deployment, indexing, and querying capabilities of The Graph, as well as operational support for Edge & Node's Hosted Service.

We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated database administrator that can help us scale and manage the databases supporting The Graph Studio and Hosted Service.  This role requires a deep understanding of data storage and indexing at scale, in the context of Postgres databases. Edge & Node’s Studio and Hosted Services are high-throughput projects, and the care and feeding of these systems is a critical role in our organization.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting database design initiatives and the ongoing support/administration of databases for Edge & Node's hosted service (to include system troubleshooting, refreshing and refactoring database instances, and system preventative maintenance)
• Supporting development and maintenance of database-related documentation
• Installing, configuring, and administering Postgres databases/shards
• Managing refreshes of the test, staging, and development environments
• Monitoring database performance and tune/optimize performance of databases and queries

What We Expect

• Previous experience in administration, monitoring, maintenance, and optimization of PostgreSQL databases
• Ability to advise on performance improvements and new features in our application's database usage
• Previous experience monitoring and troubleshooting of Postgres databases
• Participation in rotating on-call duty during working hours
• Familiarity with Rust or another low-level language desired, but not required
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively asynchronously with a multinational team spanning numerous time zones

About the Graph

The Graph is the source of data and information for the decentralized internet. As the original decentralized data marketplace that introduced and standardized subgraphs, The Graph has become web3’s method of indexing and accessing blockchain data. Since its launch in 2018, tens of thousands of developers have built subgraphs for dapps across 50+ blockchains - including  Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Celo, Fantom, Gnosis, and Avalanche.

As demand for data in web3 continues to grow, The Graph enters a New Era with a more expansive vision including new data services and query languages, ensuring the decentralized protocol can serve any use case - now and into the future.
