I would model provisional versus finalized data, retain replay capability, and issue corrections or retractions when reorganizations occur. Operational metrics would track lag, freshness, completeness, duplicate rates, and reconciliation outcomes. How do you balance correctness, latency, reliability, and cost in a client-facing market-data platform? I start by defining delivery contracts and service-level objectives with customers and product stakeholders. I then classify data by criticality and freshness requirements, choose appropriate durability and consistency guarantees, and make trade-offs explicit in the architecture. I use load tests, observability, and cost telemetry to validate that the selected design meets objectives sustainably. Describe your approach to debugging a production incident that crosses several services and data boundaries. I first establish customer impact and stabilize the system, then use traces, logs, metrics, and event samples to narrow the fault domain. I compare expected and observed data at each boundary, verify assumptions about schemas, timestamps, retries, and state transitions, and identify the underlying systemic cause rather than only the symptom. After recovery, I add tests, alerts, runbook updates, and design changes that prevent recurrence. How would you manage schema evolution for APIs and streaming feeds consumed by institutional clients? I would define versioned schemas with compatibility rules, publish clear contracts, and avoid breaking field changes without a migration path. Additive changes, deprecation windows, consumer documentation, and validation in CI help protect clients. For feeds, I would provide explicit version identifiers and replay or backfill support where customers need to transition safely. How do you use AI-assisted development while maintaining staff-level engineering quality and accountability? I use AI to accelerate exploration, implementation scaffolding, test generation, failure investigation, and documentation, but I retain ownership of every architectural and production decision. I validate generated work through code review, targeted tests, benchmarks, security checks, and operational reasoning. I also turn effective practices into repeatable team workflows so AI improves throughput without weakening reliability or engineering judgment. Opportunity details ## About this role.

Learn more about us: About Dune [https://dune.com/about](https://dune.com/about) Values and working at Dune [https://dune.com/careers](https://dune.com/careers) ### About the role Dune is building market data solutions for institutional customers who need timely, accurate and reliable financial data they can depend on. Our team turns onchain activity into realtime feeds and associated reference data along with historical data capture. You will work on our new market data platform, and help shape how it evolves to support the growing features and customer base. You’ll design systems that can grow across chains, protocols and product capabilities while making clear decisions about correctness, latency, reliability, and cost. This is a hands-on Staff Engineer role. You will be expected to turn ambiguous requirements into designs and deliverable work, implement difficult parts yourself, and help other engineers own meaningful parts of the platform. AI-assisted development is a core part of how we expect you to work, paired with strong engineering judgment and ownership of what you ship. ### In this role you will * Design and build distributed systems for ingestion, normalization, processing, storage, and delivery of realtime market data from blockchain and other relevant sources. * Build and operate streaming solutions that handle event ordering, timestamps, duplicates, replay, gaps, and recovery, including blockchain reorganizations and finality where they affect customer data. * Build reliable client feeds and APIs with clear delivery contracts, schema evolution, access controls, and predictable behavior under load or when consumers fall behind. * Partner with teams across Dune on reference data models and historical data capture. * Define and improve service objectives and data quality measures. * Instrument latency, freshness, completeness, and correctness, and turn incidents into lasting improvements in recovery and operations. * You will debug independently and drive root cause analysis to a fix that holds. * Own services through deployment and production support, including participation in the team’s on-call rotation. * Use AI throughout development: explore designs, implement changes, build tests, investigate failures, and improve documentation. Develop repeatable workflows and share what works with the team. * Lead technical decisions across team boundaries, write clear designs, and mentor engineers through implementation and review. ### You might be a great fit if * You have built and operated distributed backend or data services with demanding reliability and performance requirements. You understand their failure modes and can debug problems across service and data boundaries. * You have experience with realtime streaming systems, including concurrency, state management, backpressure, and recovery. You care about data correctness, from timestamps and numeric precision to schema changes and corrections. * You have strong computer science fundamentals and backend engineering skills. Experience in Rust, Go or comparable languages is also valuable. * You turn ambiguous requirements into pragmatic designs and production services, and help other engineers deliver parts of the solution. * You communicate clearly in writing and work effectively with a distributed team. * Financial or market data experience at a financial institution. ### Not required but a plus * Onchain data experience: blockchain indexing such as with EVM or Solana. * Reference data experience: instrument and entity masters, identifier mapping, effective-dated records, or tokenized asset and fund data. * Experience at a company where the data is the product.
