Senior Analytics Engineer (Contract)

As an Analytics Engineer at the Uniswap Foundation, you’ll own the transformation layer that turns raw onchain and offchain data into reliable, analytics‑ready models. Today, you’ll leverage Dune’s public dbt Spellbook; tomorrow, you’ll architect our own BigQuery/Snowflake pipelines, custom indexers or subgraphs. You’ll enable Data Analysts and Growth Managers to generate insights that power our grants and liquidity‑mining programs, collaborating across teams to guarantee data quality, consistency and accessibility.

What You'll Do

• Build & optimize data models (dbt or equivalent) for Uniswap, hook protocols and broader DEX metrics, ensuring accuracy, consistency and performance
• Develop & maintain pipelines to Ingest onchain events, API feeds and third‑party sources into Dune/BigQuery/Snowflake, with monitoring and alerting
• Optimize pipeline health: Implement monitoring, alerting and root‑cause workflows to quickly detect and resolve data issues
• Collaborate & iterate: Partner with Data Analysts, Growth and Research teams to refine schema, metrics and dashboards making data intuitive to query and interpret
• Centralize data sources: Merge disparate feeds into a unified repository while provisioning data to where it’s needed
• Plan & build in‑house models: As needed, gradually transition transformations into BigQuery or Snowflake design schemas, materializations and deployment workflows
• Champion best practices: Contribute to open standards in the Uniswap and DEX communities
• Stay current: Evaluate emerging data‑engineering tools and cloud services (BigQuery, Snowflake, AWS/GCP) and recommend enhancements to our stack

Who You Are

• Engineering‑minded: you treat analytics transformations as production code robust, testable and maintainable
• Future‑focused: adept with Dune Spellbook today and excited to build self‑hosted solutions tomorrow
• Detail‑obsessed: you identify edge cases, troubleshoot upstream issues and prevent data drift proactively
• Collaborative: you translate requirements into solutions and work seamlessly across small, cross‑functional teams
  
  

Nice to Haves

• Proficiency with modern cloud platforms (e.g., BigQuery, Snowflake, AWS, GCP, or Azure) and experience with both OLTP and analytical databases such as PostgreSQL or ClickHouse
• Experience building subgraphs or equivalent custom indexers (e.g., The Graph, Ponder)
• Experience building and exposing internal/external Data APIs and deploying containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes
• Advanced degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related technical field
