We’re looking for a Data Engineer to work across the Growth and Product teams and become the data backbone that powers opportunity identification across Aave’s ecosystem. You’ll build and maintain the dashboards, pipelines, and data infrastructure that enable the teams to spot growth opportunities, track product performance, and make data-driven decisions at scale. You’ll build the infrastructure to surface insights and ensure data reliability across the organization. A strong understanding of DeFi mechanics is essential: you need to know what to look for, not just how to query it. You’ll work closely with growth and product stakeholders to ensure the right data is available, reliable, and actionable. An interest in LLMs and how they can be applied to data workflows and insight generation is important as we continue to explore AI-driven approaches.
