The vacancy is well-structured with clear responsibilities and a solid company profile, but lacks specific salary details.
Job description
Risk Labs is the foundation and core team behind UMA and Across. The Risk Labs team operates as one cohesive culture, but focuses on two core protocols: UMA and Across. UMA and Across are decentralised protocols governed by community members across the globe in DAOs, and are supported by Risk Labs Foundation. UMA’s optimistic oracle (OO) can record any verifiable truth or data onto a blockchain. Across is leading the future of interoperability with its frontier intents-based architecture. We are a remote-first, globally distributed team focused on building infrastructure that pushes crypto forward.
Responsibilities
### What You’ll Own
1. **The Transformation Layer**: You are the DRI for everything between raw ingestion and the clean data layer. You own the modelling strategy and are trusted to push back when a request would compromise what we’ve built. You work with the Analytics Lead to align on priorities and with Platform on infrastructure constraints.
2. **Refactor and Legacy Migration**: You’ll audit what we have, cut what we don’t need, and rebuild the rest into something clean, traceable, and maintainable. You decide what gets retired versus migrated, and you own the sequencing.
3. **Data Quality and Testing**: You’ll design and own our approach to data quality: what we test, how we test it, and what happens when something breaks. We want proactive alerting and self-healing pipelines where possible.
4. **BigQuery Cost Optimisation**: You’ll own the efficiency of our query and storage footprint, refactoring models and materialisation strategies to reduce unnecessary spend, and keeping a close eye on cost as agentic data usage scales.
5. **Event Data and Product Observability**: You’ll build a robust event data model that gives us meaningful observability across our full product suite.
Requirements
### Skills and Experience Required
- Deep, demonstrable expertise in data modelling across multiple time horizons, dimensions, and levels of granularity.
- Advanced SQL: performant, readable, and warehouse-aware.
- Experience owning a transformation layer in production, including a meaningful refactor or migration.
- Hands-on experience designing and implementing data quality frameworks: testing, alerting, and lineage.
- Experience with event data and product analytics tooling (Amplitude, Segment, or similar).
- Experience with crypto data, or data environments characterised by high normalisation, irregular schemas, and significant inherited complexity.
- Strong cross-functional communication; able to work closely with non-technical stakeholders without losing precision.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and able to manage a shifting backlog without losing momentum.
Conditions
### Compensation and Benefits
- Competitive salary with a mix of salary, tokens, and equity.
- Paid in stablecoins or fiat, your choice.
- Unlimited vacation, and we actually take it.
- Family care, training, and development support.
- 100% remote.
- At least two company-wide offsites per year.
