Mysten Labs is hiringStaff Software Engineer

Mysten Labs believes that decentralized and open protocols are the bedrock of the internet of value. This is why at Mysten Labs, we are creating foundational infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of decentralized protocols based on blockchain technologies.

The Data Platform team is responsible for developing indexing solutions that support high-throughput blockchain data consumption, including first-party applications, data ingestion frameworks, and RPC node services. This role is balancing high-level architectural vision, understanding end to end application flows, hands-on DB performance optimizations, constant experimentation and lots of coding.

What You'll Do:

• Build a robust, high-performance indexing framework that supports both real-time and batch processing needs.

• Optimize Sui’s data infrastructure from end-to-end: write performance, storage footprint, read performance, scaling, reliability, and costs.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and external partners to ensure seamless integration of data platform solutions with first-party applications and the ecosystem at large.

• Serve as the technical lead on key projects, ensuring the delivery of high-quality solutions on time.

What You’ll Have:

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on systems architecture, databases, and performance optimization with experience programming in either Rust or C++.

• Extensive experience building and scaling high-throughput systems.

• Strong knowledge of data storage architectures, database technologies (SQL, NoSQL), and distributed computing.

  • Postgres experience is highly desirable.

• Expertise in performance tuning and optimizing both system architecture and low-level services.

• Ability to lead technically complex projects and drive solutions from concept to production.
