## About the role

Data Foundation owns how blockchain data enters Dune, how it is represented and how it’s delivered externally. This is a role that involves thinking about large distributed data systems, recognising traditional scaling patterns and software lifecycle pitfalls, and is ideal for anyone passionate about those topics.

## What they're looking for

- You are a strong generalist with real computer science fundamentals, and you use them to adapt quickly to new technologies and problem spaces
- You reason from first principles: you make assumptions explicit, identify the constraints and invariants that matter, and derive the solution rather than reaching for a familiar pattern
- You use computer science fundamentals as practical tools. You have designed and shipped distributed data systems, making their contracts, state transitions, invariants, and failure modes explicit. You know their fault models and scaling weaknesses
- You are comfortable with ambiguity : you will talk to product, to customers, and to the team, then commit to a scope and defend it
- You use AI tools well enough that they have changed how you work, you understand their failure modes and dislike ai-slop
- You communicate clearly in writing and get the best out of a distributed team
