  • Own the onboarding process of services to production infrastructure, including:
    • Producing Proof of Concepts for the deployment of blockchain networks and dApps
    • Identifying hosting needs and rightsizing infrastructure for high availability
    • Planning and executing performance benchmarking strategies and load-testing to identify bottlenecks
    • Owning CDN caching, DNS and security configuration to achieve low latency

    • Set up fine-grained monitoring and alerting rules
    • Enforce thoroughly tested disaster recovery procedures
    • Lead incident response procedures by being part of the DevOps on-call rotation scheme
  • Operate scalable Kubernetes clusters and several in-house platform offerings, including:
    • Bitcoin, Cosmos SDK, ETH and ZK blockchain infrastructure
    • Databases (Redis, MongoDB, MariaDB) and queuing systems (RabbitMQ)
    • Observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Grafana Loki, Promtail, Sentry)
  • Collaborate closely with other teams to drive bug identification and resolution, as well as advocate for the adoption of production-ready practices.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 2+ years of experience in operating secure Cosmos SDK and Bitcoin infrastructure
  • It's a big plus for candidates to have production-grade experience on Ethereum, Solidity smart contracts and Zero Knowledge systems.

  • Strong Top-3 cloud management experience (AWS preferred)
  • Experience in Kubernetes application packaging (Helm Charts) and deployment (fluxcd, GitHub Actions)
  • Proficiency in Linux management and scripting
  • Experience in Terraform scripting
  • Experience in operating open-source observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki)
  • Ability to manage competing priorities and respond swiftly to incidents
