Data Engineer

Overview

Founded in 2021, Layer Zero’s vision is to create a community of cross-chain developers, building dApps that are no longer constrained by individual blockchain capabilities. With Layer Zero's simple, generic messaging protocol, builders will develop cross-chain dApps designed to unify the power of individual blockchains. We are funded by the best investors in the world including: a16z, Sequoia, Pay Pal, Binance Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Uniswap Labs, Circle Ventures, Delphi Digital, and many more.

About The Role:

Layer Zero is building the future of omnichain interoperability, and data sits at the center of everything we do. Our protocol and products generate massive volumes of on-chain and off-chain data that power business decisions, developer tools, real-time monitoring, and user experiences across Web

As a Data Engineer
, you’ll design, build, and operate the data infrastructure that makes this data reliable, scalable, and accessible. You’ll work across batch and real-time systems, partner closely with product, engineering, and analytics teams, and help shape how data is used across a rapidly growing blockchain ecosystem.

• Design, implement, and maintain reliable batch and real-time data pipelines processing blockchain, system, and third-party data
• Apply dimensional data modelling (Kimball or similar) and SQL best practices to create high-performance, analytics- and API-ready datasets
• Build and scale data infrastructure using tools like Snowflake, Postgres, Airflow, AWS (CDK), Docker, and ECS
• Partner with analysts, engineers, and product teams to make complex data accessible via APIs, dashboards, and BI tools such as Hex
• Ensure data quality through monitoring, testing, validation, and clear documentation
• Optimize pipelines, queries, and infrastructure for performance, cost, and reliability
• Contribute to both batch processing and real-time streaming systems across a modern Web3 data stack

• 5+ years of experience building scalable data systems as a data engineer or in a similar role
• Strong SQL skills and hands-on experience with dimensional data modelling
• Experience with modern data warehouses (Snowflake, Redshift, Big Query, or similar)
• Proficiency in Python or Go for pipeline and data system development
• Familiarity with orchestration tools such as Airflow
• Experience deploying and operating data systems in AWS and containerized environments
• Comfortable performing and communicating strategic data analysis, and influencing data strategy
• Curious about Web3 and excited to tackle novel data challenges in a fast-moving environment

• Experience with real-time or streaming data pipelines
• Exposure to blockchain data and Web3 technologies
• Experience designing and operating APIs
• Infrastructure-as-code experience (CDK, Terraform, or similar)
