À propos

At Shadow, we’re building the end-to-end data platform for crypto.
Blockchain networks are the next evolution of the Internet, yet it’s much too difficult to work with onchain data today. We’re taking a crypto-native approach to reimagine blockchain data infrastructure from the ground up, starting with a product that allows anyone to extract custom data from any smart contract.
We've raised $9M in seed funding led by Paradigm, with additional angels from Coinbase Ventures, Electric Capital, Ethereum Foundation, Uniswap, and Flashbots.
We're a small team who primarily works out of a beautiful office space in NYC.
We’re hiring a founding backend engineer to join our world-class team.
About the role
In this role you’ll be working closely with the CTO to architect and build out the backend infrastructure that powers Shadow. You should get excited about building fast, extensible systems that can handle terabytes of realtime and historical data.
What you'll do (responsibilities)
We're looking for an experienced IC who wants to: Design and build the new standard for blockchain data infrastructure.
You will own large parts of the infrastructure that stores, processes, and indexes terabytes of onchain data. Own the end-to-end backend implementation for new products.
You'll build things in a way that allows us to rapidly iterate our product based on customer feedback. Crush every other benchmark.
We plan to publicly release benchmarks vs other onchain data systems, and your name will be listed prominently for everyone to see. Drive business outcomes.
Performance is a major differentiator in this space. Every optimization you make will lead directly to winning customers and market share.
Our tech stack
Backend infrastructure built in Rust
Kubernetes on GCP
Kafka, BigTable, Postgres, Snowflake/BigQuery
Typescript and Next.js
Solidity and Vyper
What we're looking for (qualifications)
You're an ambitious senior or staff-level IC with experience building performant and scalable backend infrastructure and distributed systems. Excited about designing and building robust infrastructure from the ground up.
You think about all the different ways your code could be used, extended, and scaled in the future, not just today. Owning several services and jumping into all of them doesn't scare you. Interest in onchain data and data infrastructure.
You’ve built distributed systems that handle terabytes of data, and are deeply familiar with event-driven architectures. Curious and quick learning.
We don't expect you to have experience in every technology we use, but to learn and be productive quickly. We value people who can quickly obtain a deep technical understanding of new domains. Pragmatic attention to detail.
You hold your work to a high standard. You strive for few slips in code, clean Git hygiene, and clear written communication — all while remaining low-ego and solution oriented. Good heart.
We are a group of friendly ambitious nerds who are effortlessly kind to one another, and we don't tolerate jerks.

Team
— we have a high bar; you'll be on a small team of extremely talented individuals. Impact
