Rust Engineer, Operational Success

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 Network Engineering team is focused on building and maintaining core software components that make The Graph work. We are especially focused on graph-node, an Open Source Rust project that provides the core indexing capabilities of The Graph.

We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated software engineer who will work in close contact with Edge & Node’s SRE team and DBA to run a large Graph Node operation in production. This role requires a deep understanding of Rust, familiarity with developing open source software, and ideally prior infrastructure and database experience.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Establishing operational guidelines, objectives, and best practices for running Graph Nodes in production and their databases
• Actively monitoring and intervening in the Graph Nodes and their databases to ensure adherence to these standards
• Maintaining dashboards and identifying gaps in metrics, raising those gaps to the relevant team
• Monitoring operational expenses and seeking opportunities to reduce costs
• Propose, design and develop new ops tooling to make our team more effective
• Recognizing the risks of outages and data corruption, and proactively coordinating mitigation strategies and recovery strategies for those scenarios

What We Expect

• Previous experience with relational databases
• Successful track record of monitoring metrics and observability
• History of displaying extreme ownership in the workplace
• Previous experience communicating and working alongside both software engineers and devops engineers/site reliability engineers
• Proven track record of building software in Rust

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 45+ 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.
