Provable is looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer to scale our end-to-end stress-testing and benchmarking frameworks for the Aleo blockchain. You’ll partner with our protocol engineers to spin up adversarial testnets and codify attack-vector scenarios - from high-volume transaction storms to malicious clients and network partitions. Your work will ensure the Aleo blockchain remains secure, performant, and cost-efficient at the highest possible uptime. You’ll also provide some form of on-call support - in close agreement - swiftly resolving incidents and feeding lessons learned back into our test automation. Ideally, you are crypto-native, comfortable with distributed-systems testing, and passionate about building bulletproof infrastructure.
ResponsibilitiesStress-test development: Design, implement, and maintain end-to-end adversarial tests for snarkOS networks using Terraform and Ansible. Most of our software is written in Rust, and you’ll be able to get your hands dirty making it more reliable and performant.
Cloud Infrastructure Management: Oversee the provisioning, operation, and management of AWS or GCP cloud infrastructure.
Monitoring and Optimization: Deploy and tune Prometheus/Grafana and ELK stacks. Continuously identify performance bottlenecks and opportunities to reduce cloud spend.
Automation: Develop, maintain, and improve automation systems for test runs.
On-Call Support: Respond rapidly to incidents, troubleshoot test infrastructure failures, and restore service while minimizing downtime.
Continuous Improvement: Stay abreast of new features and technologies. Recommend and implement improvements to infrastructure and processes.
Collaboration: Work closely with other teams and colleagues, including protocol engineers and devops engineers, to ensure cohesiveness and reliability of services.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
A foundation in blockchain concepts and, ideally, experience contributing to or working on a blockchain project.
Experience managing AWS cloud infrastructure.
Experience in Ansible, Terraform, Python, Bash, Git, and GitHub workflows.
Experience in handling on-call responsibilities.
Experience with setting up and managing monitoring solutions.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, especially under pressure.
Ability to communicate complex technical ideas across teams.
Understanding of cloud security best practices and compliance requirements.
