Company mission
To organize blockchain data so that teams don't have to.
Role
Who you are
- You are a builder - you have experience creating, building and shipping their work out in the world. You are excited about experimenting and always striving to create something better
- You are a shipper - you get stuff done, and move with unusual urgency, take pride in continual improvement, and iteratively integrating feedback
- You are an owner - you take pride in your work and take responsibility for your decisions, and also respect others with their decisions
- You are crypto curious - You are a blockchain, web3 or crypto enthusiast
- Sherlock & Enola Holmes level of curiosity to find peculiarities in the data and help the industry redefine the narratives. (e.g. We have helped Brevan Howard Digital and Nic Carter with their industry-defining Stablecoin Reports)
- Ability to parse and understand new blockchain schemas fast and well (We have EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, Ordinals, Tron)
- Good enough understanding of NFT, DEXs, Decoded Logs, and Smart Contracts to transform the data to the product and customer's needs quickly
What the job involves
- Define the Standard for the industry - If you want to be part of a team that defines the enterprise data standard of the industry, this is your chance to create Reliability and Quality benchmark standards (or debt) that will echo for decades. We work with leading companies - powering Phantom Wallet's data backend, Grayscale's Research team, Magic Eden's data science team, and many more
- Care about data problems - Allium at its heart, is helping other companies with data plumbing. The entire tech industry (not just crypto) is evolving - Data Teams are now first-class citizens (https://tomtunguz.com/data-product-teams/). This is part of your change of setting best practices for data modeling and engineering beyond crypto. Most of our internal data processes we have built extends to every other industry, we are at the forefront of this
- Be part of the rapid change - Allium has to continually reinvent its internal and engineering processes to keep up to date with what is happening with the industry and business. You will get to learn how to ship while still upgrading existing workflows in parallel
- Contribute to all parts of the business - Learn all cross-sections of the business, outside of your domain - whatever it takes for the team to get a win, you will be part of it
- Giant infrastructure budget per head - You will make mistakes, costly mistakes, but at Allium's expense. We have an internal leaderboard of the costliest infrastructure mistakes made, and we learn from them. Mistakes that very few engineers in the world even have the opportunity to make. We don't have fancy Michelin-starred meal budgets, but we have a huge infrastructure budget for you to get better at your craft. And that's what counts to improve
- Front-row seat to building a fast-accelerating startup - if you ever wanted to start your company one day, learn how to do it by being part of one; it is my (Ethan here, cofounder) commitment to mentoring you about running startups if you have any questions. I have spent most of my life devouring nearly every tech gospel book, twitter influencer thread, GPT remix of tech tenets and stories. I am more than overjoyed to share this experience in an applied setting at Allium itself every single day
Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
As money has poured into blockchain projects and markets, transactions ‘on-chain’ have skyrocketed. While all of these transactions are inherently observable, actually making sense of the immense volume of data is another story.
On-chain analysis (or blockchain analysis) is a field that has emerged to do just this, examining the fundamental factors of cryptocurrencies to improve investment and trading decisions. Allium, that primarily serves crypto analytics teams, provides a range of on-chain data infrastructure products ranging from managed blockchain databases, and enriched data schemas, to real-time alerting capabilities.
Crucially the startup is not trying to deliver the whole package of parsing the data to gathering insights. Instead, the focus is on becoming a platform service. For example, the core product is a unified data platform providing general SQL access, making blockchain data truly accessible for the first time.
