Job Description

Allium makes blockchain data accurate, simple and fast. When we started out in late 2021 our thesis was simple - blockchain data, despite it being public and free, was difficult to understand, clunky to access and troublesome to maintain. Answering a simple question like “Who are the biggest Ethereum token holders over time?” requires an engineering team to run their own RPC nodes, ingest the full history of the blockchain, clean the data, transform the data and finally summon a wizard to cast a complex SQL query. Accessing data is hard because blockchains are historically been optimized for Writes (getting data onto the blockchain) and less for Reads (getting data OUT of the blockchain). This is because optimization efforts were focused on increasing transaction throughput and building fault tolerant and scalable consensus algorithms. This neglect makes it hard to get data out efficiently and reliably at scale. Parsing and interpreting blockchain data requires both deep domain expertise and data manipulation. To quote Tim Roughgarden, Columbia Professor, “Blockchains are (virtual) computers, not databases.” They are Turing machines that support general computations, and anyone can write and deploy their own smart contract for their own use case. This nearly infinite number of use cases leads to the fragmentation of data schemas for different purposes. Standardizing these schemas requires deep domain expertise to turn esoteric technical outputs into clear information for specific concepts like tokens, NFTs, stablecoins and DEXs. Allium tames the chaos by ingesting, sanitizing, and standardizing all this data. As of this post, the data we’ve archived across 40+ blockchains is in the petabytes and growing exponentially. Google and Bloomberg had to organize the world's public financial and webpage data, Allium is on a mission to do the same for blockchain data. This is one of the rare times in history where indexing a giant public dataset is sorely needed by all - similar to what Bloomberg did for financial data and what Google organized for public webpage data. With this indexed data, we are fortunate to support trailblazers in this industry and play some role the industry’s most exciting trends: We serve 2 groups of customers today with the same data but different platform. Analysts who need to answer data questions about the blockchain (think BI) and Engineers who need highly reliable data queryable in near realtime (think Application backends). Our customers include the biggest institutions Visa, Stripe, Grayscale and also the biggest crypto companies such as Phantom, Uniswap. Allium is one of the unique companies in the industry that bridge blockchain and non blockchain worlds. 🔨 What You’ll Do - 🗺 Define schema-level data models that normalize 10,000+ smart contract variants into usable business objects (e.g., token transfers, swaps, NFT mints) - 🧬 Design the abstraction layer that maps low-level on-chain events to high-level concepts customers care about—wallets, flows, protocols, positions - 🧪 Partner with engineering and data science to build and refine data pipelines, canonical data definitions, and validation logic - 📦 Productize schema transformations into queryable APIs, tables, and SDKs that serve both enterprise clients and Web3 builders - 🧩 Prioritize which chains, protocols, or data surfaces to model next—based on customer demand, business impact, and technical complexity - 🔄 Collaborate with analysts, customer success, and growth to understand how customers consume and reason about data in their domain - 🧠 Maintain and evolve our ontology of blockchain concepts, building toward a general-purpose, composable schema for Web3 data - 📈 Monitor quality metrics (completeness, latency, consistency) and continually iterate on internal tooling and documentation Come build the data operating system of web3!
