Blockchain Big Data Engineer (Polygon-Focused)
I'm currently building on-chain analytics tools and real-time dashboards on the Polygon chain.
Tech stack:
- PostgreSQL, ClickHouse for analytics
- ELT pipelines, JSON/JSONB event handling
- Concepts like smart contracts, event logs, RPCs
But I want to know from real engineers who've done this at scale:
- What are the most critical things I should focus on to grow into this role?
- What skill gaps should I close?
- What real-world challenges hit you the hardest when scaling ingestion, querying, or infra?
I’m especially interested in:
Polygon-specific data patterns
Chain reorg handling
Event parsing at scale
Real-time dashboards and query optimization
Security in ingestion pipelines
Would love to hear war stories, or just your top tips.
Appreciate any insight!
