About the company
Allium makes blockchain data accurate, simple and fast Blockchain data is hard, messy, and chaotic When we started out in late 2021 our thesis was simple - blockchain data, despite it being public and free, was difficult to understand, clunky to access and troublesome to maintain. Answering a simple question like “Who are the biggest Ethereum token holders over time?” requires an engineering team to run their own RPC nodes, ingest the full history of the blockchain, clean the data, transform the data and finally summon a wizard to cast a complex SQL query. Accessing data is hard because blockchains are optimized for Writes and not Reads Why is it so hard? Blockchains have historically been optimized for Writes (getting data onto the blockchain) and less for Reads (getting data OUT of the blockchain). This is because optimization efforts were focused on increasing transaction throughput and building fault tolerant and scalable consensus algorithms. This neglect makes it hard to get data out efficiently and reliably at scale.
Job Summary
Role
📍We need a product focused engineer who loves to BUILD, BUILD & BUILD! The problem statement is straightforward - we have tens of thousands of data schemas integrated in 100+ different workflows today. how does one design an experience for our customers to just get their job done in this sea of data? how does one design the right primitives that come intuitively to them?
Qualities
📍do you love to build? 📍do you have (some) taste? 📍do you get joy from permuting and trying every combination of UI, Workflow and layout to get that perfect screen transition for the user? 📍do you get annoyed when something on an app just feels that little bit off? 📍do you get joy from users raving about how your product makes them feel special? 📍do you have an inner diva that critiques all things design, but yet (somehow) have the humility to know that nothing's perfect? 📍do you love lego? or the idea that building workflows should be as simple as stacking lego bricks? 📍do you love helping users get their job done?
The crypto industry is evolving rapidly, offering new opportunities in blockchain, web3, and remote crypto roles — don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
