Data Engineer

About Us

LayerZero's vision is to create a community of cross-chain developers, building dApps that are no longer constrained by individual blockchain capabilities. With our simple, generic messaging protocol, builders will develop cross-chain dApps designed to unify the power of individual blockchains. We have built and launched Stargate, a fully composable native asset bridge that allows users to swap assets securely and without additional fees.

About the Role

At LayerZero, we're building the future of omnichain interoperability — and data is at the heart of it. Our systems generate vast amounts of on-chain and off-chain data that is critical for business decisions, real-time monitoring, developer tools and user experiences. As a Data Engineer, you'll design and operate the pipelines and platforms that make our expanding sea of data reliable, accessible, and actionable.

Responsibilities

• Build pipelines: Design, implement, and maintain reliable batch and real-time data pipelines to process blockchain, system and 3rd party data
• Model data: Apply Kimball dimensional modeling and SQL best practices to create performant, API and analytics-ready datasets
• Scale infrastructure: Leverage Snowflake, Postgres, Airflow, AWS (CDK), and Docker to deliver highly available, cost-effective data solutions
• Enable insights: Partner with analysts, engineers, and product teams to make complex data accessible through APIs, dashboards, and BI tools like Hex
• Ensure quality: Drive data integrity through monitoring, testing, validation, and documentation
• Optimize performance: Tune queries, pipelines, and infrastructure for speed and efficiency

Technologies

Modern data stack includes Snowflake, Postgres, Airflow, AWS, Docker. Pipelines built in Python, high-performance systems in Go. Work with SQL, Docker, and blockchain/Web3 data processing systems.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building scalable data systems as a data engineer or similar role
• Experience performing and communicating strategic data analysis
• Experience leading and influencing the data strategy of your team or organization
• Strong SQL and data modeling skills (Kimball or similar)
• Experience with modern data warehouses (Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, etc.)
• Proficiency in Python or Go for pipeline development
• Familiarity with orchestration tools (Airflow or equivalent)
• Experience deploying and operating in AWS and containerized environments
• Curiosity about Web3 and excitement to work on novel data problems

Nice to Have

• Experience with real-time streaming pipelines
• Exposure to blockchain data and Web3 technologies
• Experience designing APIs or integrating external data sources
• Infrastructure operations experience (CDK, Terraform or similar)

What We're Looking For

We seek a passionate data professional who thrives on solving complex problems, building scalable systems, and turning messy data into clear, actionable insights. You'll be motivated by working in a fast-moving environment where your work directly shapes how teams, products, and protocols operate.
