The Data Platform team is responsible for developing solutions that support high-throughput blockchain data consumption, including first-party applications, data ingestion frameworks, and RPC node services. This role is balancing high-level architectural vision, understanding end to end application flows, hands-on performance optimizations, constant experimentation and lots of coding.

What You’ll Do:

• Optimize Sui’s data infrastructure from end-to-end: write performance, storage footprint, read performance, scaling, reliability, and costs.

• Build and maintain robust, high-performance RPC services to facilitate reading of blockchain data.

• Design and build low-latency, and reliable subscription services 

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and external partners to ensure seamless integration of data platform solutions with first-party applications and the ecosystem at large.

What You’ll Have:

• 5+ years of experience in systems and/or network programming, ideally in Rust, C or C++.

• Experience designing and developing systems in one or more of the following areas: Distributed systems, storage/database systems, high performance systems, or networking protocols.

• Production experience: operating and managing production systems, proficiency in system monitoring and alerting, with strong focus on reliability.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Expertise in performance tuning and optimizing both system architecture and low-level services.

• Proven ability to drive complex projects to completion.
