About the roleAt Allium, Blockchain Data Wizards are the data architects who transform raw, fragmented on-chain data into elegant, meaningful abstractions that power the world's largest crypto applications.You'll be equal parts detective, data engineer, and protocol researcher—diving deep into blockchain internals, reverse engineering DeFi protocols, and crafting data models that institutions and developers rely on.What you will doCreating Meaningful Data AbstractionsTransform messy on-chain data into unified, intuitive data models (e.g
dex.trades,
lending.liquidations) that work across verticals and protocols, providing users with granular, reliable insights.Reverse Engineer DeFi Protocol MechanicsDive deep into the mechanics of new DeFi protocols, dissect smart contract interactions and on-chain events, extract the data that matters, and transform it into clean, production-ready models using SQL/dbt.Indexing New BlockchainsDive into a blockchain’s raw data structures, ensure complete and accurate data capture, and design schemas that translate native blockchain data into reliable internal models, becoming the trusted source of truth for that ecosystem.Building Metrics & Filtering NoiseDesign and create metrics people can actually use - volumes, fees, TVL, and user activity, and filter out noise like wash trades, bots, and Sybil attacks. Make it easy for the industry to see what’s real and what matters.QualitiesSherlock & Enola Holmes-Level CuriosityYou find peculiarities in data that others miss. You question assumptions, dig deeper when something looks off, and help the industry redefine narratives with evidence-based insights.Product-Minded Data DesignYou don't just build tables—you design data products. You think about query patterns, performance, documentation, and how end users will interact with your models.Comfortable with AmbiguityNew blockchains and protocols have sparse documentation. You thrive when you need to figure things out yourself through exploration and experimentation.SQL/dbt MasteryYou can write elegant, performant SQL transformations that process large volumes of data. You understand incremental models, macros, and how to build maintainable data pipelines at scale.Allium's Data Wizards in ActionCo-developing
