About the role

Who you are

  • Linux + Kubernetes: ****you debug real production—networking, storage, rollouts, perf
  • IaC (Terraform/Helm/Ansible): you ship repeatable infra, not snowflakes
  • Go or Python (plus Bash): ****you automate noise away and build small, sharp tools
  • Blockchain operations: JSON‑RPC internals; running/tuning RPC/validator nodes; log analysis
  • Observability: SLOs/error budgets, Prometheus/Grafana instrumentation that people use
  • Networking: strong fundamentals (DNS/TLS/LB); you can reason about anycast/BGP when needed
  • Clear production ownership: blast radius understood, rollback plan ready
  • SLO thinking with before/after on alert noise, latency, or MTTR
  • Real RPC/validator ops experience (beyond a laptop demo)
  • Tooling/code that made ops better (Go/Python, IaC modules, or a small upstream fix)
  • You explain complex failures simply, and leave systems simpler
  • Production experience with one or more of EVM (Geth/Erigon/Nethermind/Besu), Cosmos SDK/CometBFT, Solana (Agave/QUIC), or Substrate
  • Multi‑cloud experience plus capacity & cost modeling that survived contact with reality

What the job involves

  • Make mainnet boring
  • We launch chains, keep them fast, and fix the stuff that shouldn’t break
  • You’ll run K8s at scale, ship IaC, lead incidents, and write the tooling that keeps production sane
  • If you can occasionally patch a client or upstream a small fix, even better
  • Launch & upgrade chains: standups, hard‑forks, snapshots, pruning, clean rollbacks
  • Automate everything: modules, golden images, CI/CD, zero‑touch deploys across regions
  • Run K8s at scale: safe rollouts, HPA/VS/ingress tuning, capacity & cost plans that hold up
  • Own incidents: lead SEV0–2, publish RCAs, and ship the change that prevents a replay
  • Build signal, not noise: SLOs/error budgets, useful dashboards, alerts that only page when users hurt
  • Code where it counts: write/extend tools (snapshots, replay/load, state sync checks); occasionally patch client bugs that bite production and upstream when it’s worth it
  • New Hire Onboarding: Week 1-12
  • Week 1–2: ship a small IaC change + a dashboard someone actually uses
  • Week 3–6: own 2–3 chains/subsystems, kill a flaky alert, close a recurring papercut
  • Week 7–12: lead one upgrade/cutover with clean rollback; publish an RCA and the code/infrastructure change that prevents recurrence

The application process

  • Steps may vary slightly by region/seniority; we keep it lean
  • 30‑min intro + context with Talent Acquisition
  • 60‑min technical deep dive with the Hiring Manager (incidents you led, K8s/IaC trade‑offs, tooling you built)
  • 60‑min hands‑on with Team Members (pair on a small plan/code review or targeted tool fix)
  • 30-min meet a Founder
