AI SummaryDune is hiring a Software Engineer focused on data-platform engineering for a remote-first blockchain analytics company. The role centers on designing and operating distributed systems that ingest and process petabyte-scale blockchain data, support external data ingestion, and enable high-performance SQL queries. The engineer will own components such as data ingestion and decoding while contributing primarily in Kotlin and Go, with some Java and Rust. Success requires sound computer-science fundamentals, distributed-systems knowledge, data-lake experience, blockchain/RPC familiarity, and strong collaboration in a fast-moving remote team. ## Role DNA A quick view of the complexity, pace, ownership and collaboration implied by the job description. ### Job Complexity 5/5EasyHard ### Pace & Pressure 5/5RelaxedFast-paced ### Autonomy Level 5/5GuidedFull ownership ### Communication Load 4/5IndependentCollaborative AI insightThis is a technically demanding systems role involving petabyte-scale data, distributed databases, SQL processing, performance engineering, and architectural decision-making. The broad ownership model and fast engineering pace require an engineer who can independently reason through complex, ambiguous platform problems. ## Salary analysis Estimated compensation compared with the broader US market for similar roles.

Raw chain data should be retained immutably so downstream transformations can be replayed, while idempotent writes, checkpoints, schema versioning, and observability make failures recoverable and auditable. What trade-offs would you consider when optimizing SQL queries across large blockchain datasets stored in a data lake? I would evaluate partitioning strategy, file size, columnar formats such as Parquet, predicate and projection pushdown, metadata/catalog design, and compaction. The best design depends on dominant query patterns, so I would measure representative workloads and balance low-latency reads against ingestion cost and storage efficiency. Describe an approach to handling blockchain reorganizations and inconsistent RPC-provider responses. I would model chain data with confirmation and canonicality states, retain block lineage, and make downstream processing reversible or idempotent. Multiple RPC sources, validation checks, retry policies, and reprocessing from a known checkpoint can reduce provider-risk, while reorg detection triggers correction of affected derived data. How would you decide whether a service component should be implemented in Kotlin, Go, Java, or Rust? I would start with operational and product requirements rather than language preference: team maintainability, existing platform conventions, library ecosystem, throughput and latency needs, safety requirements, and deployment complexity. Kotlin or Java may fit JVM-integrated business and data workflows, Go can suit straightforward concurrent services, and Rust is compelling where memory safety and predictable performance are especially important. Tell us how you would improve incident diagnosis and resolution through automation or AI without creating unsafe operational behavior. I would begin with high-quality telemetry, runbooks, and clear incident classifications, then automate low-risk tasks such as log correlation, symptom summarization, and suggested remediation. Any action affecting production should have scoped permissions, deterministic guardrails, audit logs, approval requirements where appropriate, and measured evaluation against incident outcomes.
