This role blends DevOps and SRE practices with blockchain infrastructure. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys building and maintaining distributed systems at scale, with strong Linux, networking, and automation skills, and an interest in staking protocols.

You can be located anywhere in North or South America time zones, as our work is 100% online. The position is full-time.

  • Automation and IaC: Implement and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform and configuration management tools. Contribute to CI/CD for apps and infrastructure.
  • Networking: Configure and manage network infrastructure, including load balancing and firewalls.
  • Monitoring and Alerting: Implement and maintain comprehensive monitoring and alerting to proactively identify and address performance, health, and security issues.
  • Incident Response: Participate in on-call rotation (including weekends), troubleshoot incidents, and perform root cause analysis.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with other engineering teams and maintain detailed documentation of system configurations and procedures.

Requirements

Must have:

  • 3+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE or a related role.
  • Strong Linux system administration skills.
  • Experience with containers and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with Terraform or similar tools for infrastructure automation.
  • Experience with monitoring and logging tools (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
  • Experience managing fleets of machines with configuration management tools (e.g. Chef, Puppet, SaltStack, or Ansible).
  • Strong networking knowledge (TCP/IP, HTTP/2, firewalls).
  • Experience with gRPC and load balancing.
  • Solid understanding of security best practices for Linux systems and networks.

Nice to have:

  • Knowledge of cryptography, experience with HSMs and key management solutions.
  • Prior experience in staking or running blockchain infrastructure at scale, including validator key management.
  • Familiarity with major staking protocols (Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Aptos..etc).
  • Understanding of staking protocols and blockchain consensus mechanisms.
  • Python or Go experience for tooling.
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary and generous equity.
  • Remote work environment with a flexible schedule.
  • A team that values learning and is willing to test and adopt innovative solutions (especially AI)
