We stand as the revolutionary vanguard of web3, a vision of a world powered by individual autonomy, shared self-sovereignty and limitless collaboration. Established by trailblazers behind The Graph, we’re on a mission to make The Graph the internet’s unbreakable foundation of open data. We invented and standardized subgraphs across the industry, solidifying The Graph as the definitive way to organize and access blockchain data. Utilizing a deep expertise in developing open-source software, tooling, and protocols, we empower builders and entrepreneurs to bring unstoppable applications to life with revolutionary digital infrastructure.

The Graph Node & Infrastructure team is focused on developing and maintaining core software components that make The Graph work. We are especially focused on graph-node, an open source Rust implementation that provides subgraph deployment, indexing, and querying capabilities of The Graph, as well as operational support for our Hosted Service.

We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated database administrator that can help us scale and manage the databases supporting The Graph Studio and Hosted Service. This role requires a deep understanding of data storage and indexing at scale, in the context of Postgres databases. Our Studio and Hosted Services are high-throughput projects, and the care and feeding of these systems is a critical role in our organization.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting database design initiatives and the ongoing support/administration of databases for our hosted service (to include system troubleshooting, refreshing and refactoring database instances, and system preventative maintenance)
• Supporting development and maintenance of database-related documentation
• Installing, configuring, and administering Postgres databases/shards
• Managing refreshes of the test, staging, and development environments
• Monitoring database performance and tune/optimize performance of databases and queries
  

What We Expect

• Previous experience in administration, monitoring, maintenance, and optimization of PostgreSQL databases
• Ability to advise on performance improvements and new features in our application's database usage
• Previous experience monitoring and troubleshooting of Postgres databases
• Participation in rotating on-call duty during working hours
• Familiarity with Rust or another low-level language desired, but not required
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively asynchronously with a multinational team spanning numerous time zones
