Analytics Engineer

About Dune

Dune is on a mission to make crypto data accessible. We’re a collaborative multi-chain analytics platform used by thousands of developers, analysts, and investors to understand the on-chain world and the frontiers of finance. We’re a team of ~60 employees, working together across Europe and eastern US timezones. We believe in our mission, and in building a powerful, open product that allows individuals and communities to do deep research into important ecosystems like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many more. We’re backed by some of the world’s best investors.

In February 2022, we announced our Series B funding round led by Coatue and Union Square Ventures, an important milestone that allowed us to double down on our mission. We’re using the funds to educate, reward and empower a new generation of on-chain analysts.

About The Role

The data team turns raw on-chain activity into trustworthy and reusable datasets. As an analytics engineer working on curated data, you will sit at the intersection of protocol mechanics, SQL modeling, and transformation tooling. You will work closely with data engineers and product managers to standardize how key on-chain concepts are represented across chains and protocols, so analysts and developers can build reliably on top of them. Success looks like faster time-to-insight for analysts, fewer one-off queries, and reusable models that scale as we add new ecosystems.

In this role, you will:

• Design, implement, and maintain SQL-based curated models that standardize on-chain concepts across chains and protocols.
• Extend our existing curated datasets with new entities, metrics, and dimensions with strong documentation and tests.
• Create new data models when we onboard additional blockchains to Dune, aligning with chain-specific standards and quirks.
• Reverse-engineer smart contracts and protocol mechanics to determine what to extract, how to decode it, and how to model it.
• Work hands-on with transformation frameworks (dbt or SQLMesh) to orchestrate, test, and review changes end to end.
• Partner with engineers to ensure pipelines are reliable, documented, and cost-aware from raw to curated layers.
• Manage and maintain community data contributions through our public Github repository and other channels.
• Collaborate with product and go to market to ensure curated models unlock clear user value.

You might be a great fit if you have:

• Exceptional blockchain data knowledge and the ability to read events, traces, and state with confidence.
• Hands-on understanding of how smart contracts work and how protocol designs map to data models.
• Strong SQL skills and experience building analytical models on large datasets.
• An interest in understanding query engines and applying that knowledge to craft optimized queries.
• Practical experience with a data transformation tool such as dbt or SQLMesh.
• A builder’s mindset: you can navigate a blockchain and a protocol autonomously to figure out what matters and how to model it.

Nice to have:

• Prior Dune power user experience.
• Understanding of Solana’s account model, programs, and IDL ecosystem.
• Exposure to data engineering concepts and pipelines, including testing, observability, and CI for data.

Perks & Benefits

• A competitive salary and equity package.
• Our employee equity scheme has world-class employee-friendly terms with a heavily discounted strike price (~90%) and a 10-year exercise window.
• 5 weeks PTO + local public holidays (that can be swapped to suit you).
• A fully remote-first approach within a distributed team with flexible working hours; you structure your own day.
• Say goodbye to meeting overload! We believe in a healthy mix of async and sync work, so you can focus on what truly matters—no more wasted time on endless meetings!
• Good health is important, so we offer private medical insurance, dental & vision as standard.
• We believe in paid parental leave to help you celebrate this important milestone, transition to your new life, and bond with your new baby. We offer 16 weeks to primary and 6 weeks to secondary caregivers, fully paid. Plus a 2-week part-time phased return at full pay to help you get used to your new schedule.
• Quarterly offsites in various exciting locations as a company or team to connect, work together and have fun.
• An allowance for your at-home setup, to ensure you are happy, comfortable and productive. If you prefer a local co-working space, we’ll pay for your desk.
• Work with some of the best people you’ll ever get to meet!
• And of course, you get some awesome Dune swag!
