Blockchain Engineer, DAOs Full Time (Remote)

Messari is the leading provider of crypto market intelligence products that help professionals navigate crypto/Web3 with confidence. We bring transparency and smarter qualitative and quantitative analytics to the industry by combining a global research database with a comprehensive suite of data visualization and asset discovery tools. We help drive smarter participation in crypto from individuals and institutions alike.

The name “Messari” came from the Franciscan monks who declared “clean books” a moral imperative during the renaissance and pushed merchants to use proper accounting methods.  This led to the flourishing of investment via “trust but verify” methods and industry growth throughout Europe. That’s what we aim to do. Provide participants, investors, builders, platforms, and everyone else with reliable information to better participate in the crypto ecosystem.

Our users range from some of the most prominent analysts, investors, and crypto individuals to top organizations including Coinbase, BitGo, Anchorage, 0x, Chainanalysis, Ledger, Compound, MakerDAO, and many more.

Your Role

We are looking for an experienced engineer to build ingestion systems for disperse governance data. As a governance focused software engineer, your role will be to interact with on-chain protocols like Compound, integrate with off-chain protocols like Snapshot and be creative in the ways we interact with other web2/web3 companies and protocols to build a cohesive picture inside the decentralized governance world.

This role will be responsible for expanding our data ingestion across the Ethereum ecosystem and adding to our fleet of micro-services.

• a desire to work on big complex projects with lots of creative freedom
• a passion for shipping high-quality products
• an interest in the crypto space, and a love for building tools that help users navigate the web3 world
• empathetic and love to help your teammates grow

Projects you could work on

• The OpenZepplin Governor Integration Project will expand our on-chain governance coverage and involve interacting with on-chain smart contracts
• The Voting Metrics Project will explore the creation of new level 2 data around voting, delegation, etc. to provide a better visualization of the voting landscape
• The Treasury Exploration Project will involve constructing a view into what DAO treasuries look like. Providing visibility into holdings, signers, txns and more is becoming increasingly important in the space

What’s it like to work with our engineering team?

• A welcoming and open environment with people who love to collaborate on ideas and tackle complex problems
• Work with a small team of engineers with large impact across product, research, and business development
• Participate in forums like Family Meals and Messari Lab to share ideas or technologies you’ve been exploring and tinkering with
