- →Understand user pain points around blockchain data access, latency, correctness, historical coverage, reliability, and operational visibility.
- →Translate product and platform needs into clear specs, epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, implementation slices, and rollout plans.
- →Build backend and data systems in Go and/or Rust, and work across databases, queues, object storage, observability, CI/CD, and infrastructure when needed.
- →Design and improve indexing, caching, validation, benchmarking, and repair workflows for large-scale blockchain data systems.
- →Use AI-first development practices to accelerate research, specification, implementation, testing, and documentation while maintaining a high verification bar.
- →Collaborate with product, infrastructure, support, and customer-facing teams to gather context, make trade-offs, and close the loop after release.
- →Define and analyze technical and product metrics such as latency, throughput, accuracy, freshness, coverage, error rate, reliability, and operational cost.
- →Create internal tools, benchmarks, dashboards, alerts, and runbooks that make system behavior observable and easier to operate.
