Your core mission will involve a deep dive into the complex internals and mechanics of various blockchain networks, reverse engineering of sophisticated Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols, and translating these complex systems into actionable, structured data.\nDevelop new derivative data models and datasets for client insights and competitive advantages. Map, cleanse, and normalize raw, disparate blockchain data (transaction logs, smart contract events, state changes) into consistent, structured relational and non-relational schemes for consumption by analytics, machine learning, and AI tools.\nThis role requires a unique blend of expertise in distributed systems, data engineering best practices, and a profound understanding of the crypto and decentralized ecosystem.\nWhat You’ll Do\nMaintain an AI-native and blockchain-forward mindset,proactively leveraging emerging trends and generative technologies to stay at the vanguard of the crypto revolution while maximizing work efficiency and uncovering novel, high-alpha data opportunities.\nArchitect Intuitive Data Models:Turn the messiness of on-chain data into elegant, unified abstractions. You'll build the models that provide our users with granular, high-integrity insights across various protocols.\nDeconstruct DeFi Mechanics:Get under the hood of DeFi protocols. You'll reverse-engineer smart contracts and on-chain events, translating complex interactions into clean, production-grade SQL/dbt models.\nScale Our Ecosystem Coverage:Lead the charge in indexing new blockchains. You’ll design the schemas that transform raw chain data into our internal \"source of truth,\" ensuring every block is captured with 100% accuracy.\nEngineer Signal from Noise:Define the metrics that matter (TVL, Volume, Fees). You’ll be the gatekeeper of data quality, proactively identifying and filtering out wash trading, bot activity, and Sybil attacks.\nWhat You'll Need:\nExperience\n3+ years hands-on in Data Science, Data Engineering, or a hybrid role;\nBlockchain or crypto analytics background strongly preferred, familiarity with on-chain data structures, transaction semantics, and asset classification;\nStreaming & Lakehouse\nApache Flink or Spark Streaming building and operating real-time data pipelines;\nApache Iceberg or Apache Hudi managing large-scale Data Lakehouses with schema evolution, time travel, and ACID guarantees over petabytes of raw blockchain data;\nAWS Data Platform\nS3 for scalable data lake storage; RDS for structured relational workloads;\nSpark SQL and PySpark for interactive querying and ad-hoc analysis;\nCaching & Distribution\nFamiliarity with Data Grid technologies (e.g. Hazelcast, Apache Ignite, Redis) for high-throughput, low-latency data access patterns;\nLanguages & Tooling\nSQL advanced query writing, window functions, query plan analysis, performance tuning at scale;\nPython Pandas, Polars for data wrangling; Scikit-learn for model development;\nProficient in architecting high-throughput ingestion pipelines that leverage external data sources REST/WebSocket APIs, JSON-RPC node queries;\nStrong grasp of ETL fundamentals (extract, transform, load), including managing schema mismatches between heterogeneous sources and destinations;\nEngineering Mindset\nSystematic approach to debugging: reproducing issues, isolating root cause, validating fixes;\nComfortable working with large, semi-structured, or undocumented data sources.\nWhy Join Lukka?\nAre you looking for a challenge? Lukka solves the most complex data and technology challenges for an industry that is at the forefront of innovation.\nAt Lukka, we strive to anticipate and respond to the needs of this new and ever-changing ecosystem of digital assets. That was true in 2014, while everyone was focused on trading & buying this new asset class, we were thinking about the tax implications of crypto. That innovative foresight continues today as we evolve and iterate on our product suite to address the regulations and educate our customers.\nWe are looking for passionate, collaborative, and strategic individuals who want to help shape the future of, well, everything - starting with making crypto more accountable. We invest in our teammates, promote from within & are responsible to each other by fostering an inclusive space for curious minds to thrive and innovate.\nWhat’s life @ Lukka like?\nWe move fast and continue to be ahead of the curve. You could be part of a growing company bridging the gap between business and blockchain.\nHere’s some insight into why our team members have joined:\nAbility to own the projects they work on; \nLess red tape to take ideas from inception to delivery;\nBeing at the forefront of an industry;\nSmall team, big dreams.\nOf course, let’s discuss some perks:\nOpportunity to work directly on data for digital assets, an industry-leading product with well-known clients.\nWorking with multiple AI solutions daily.\nExposure to both technical problem-solving and customer-facing challenges.\nA growing Poland-based teamwith direct collaboration across US and global stakeholders.\nA startup-style culturewhere your impact is visible every day.\nSo you’ve scrolled, your interest is piqued and hopefully read all of the important things...now what?\nThis is an exciting time to join a team that’s at the forefront of this rapidly growing industry.
