Edge & Node is a creative software development company working to build a vibrant, decentralized future. Founded by the initial team behind The Graph, Edge & Node is dedicated to the advancement of web3, a decentralized and fair internet where public data is available to all—an internet that enables its users to increase agency over their creations and their lives.

Edge & Node’s initial product is The Graph, an indexing protocol for querying networks like Ethereum and IPFS, which ensures open data is always available and easy to access. The Graph is used by thousands of protocols and dapps including Uniswap, Livepeer, Aave, Decentraland, and more. Edge & Node also launched Everest, a decentralized registry with the mission to catalyze the shift to web3, facilitating community-driven curation of projects providing ongoing utility to the crypto space.

The Graph-Node Engineering team is focused on building and maintaining core software components that make The Graph work. We are especially focused on graph-node, an Open Source Rust project that provides the core indexing capabilities of The Graph. 

• Plan, develop, test and ship new features and improvements to software components powering The Graph Network and hosted service.
• Work with research and product teams to build great developer and user experiences that are consistent across all parts of the protocol and incorporate the latest results from our research team.
• Interact with and support our growing community of developers and network participants, such as decentralized app developers and indexers.
• Review the work done by other team members.
• What We Expect
  • Experience in creating and maintaining complex distributed, concurrent and low-level software systems. The Graph is a decentralized protocol in which a lot of pieces work together.
  • Experience in working with external contributors and community members. We collaborate and interact with our growing community of developers and indexers every day. A high quality bar, attention to detail and excellent communication skills are key aspects in how we work.
  • Strong sense of ownership. We trust everyone on the team a great deal. A big part of that is that our engineers own the topics they work on, raise issues early and see implementations through from start to finish.
  • Rust and Postgresdatabase experience. Particularly relevant areastech include: asyncawait, concurrent processing with Tokio, PostgresDiesel, HTTP servers with Hyper, JSON-RPC and GraphQL. Experience with Ethereum nodes and the Ethereum JSON-RPC API is a plus.
  • We are looking for engineers with a background in at least one of the following areas, and encourage applicants to indicate in which of these areas they are most interested in expanding their expertise:
    • Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, NGINX and other infrastructure technologies.
    • Knowledge of cryptography and security best practices. The hosted service and Graph Network are running in production. Hashing, signing, cryptographic proofs and verification play a big role in the security and correctness of the network.
    • Experience with testing highly distributed systems that involve a number of components and complex networking.
    • Experience with JavaScript or TypeScript, as some of our software is not written in Rust and features often require changes across several components written in different languages.
