Job description
This team is responsible for bringing new blockchain networks into production-from initial design and deployment to ensuring they are stable, observable, and production-ready. You will work at the intersection of infrastructure, protocol engineering, and operations, helping us scale to support dozens of networks reliably.
This is a hands-on engineering role. You will design, build, and operate infrastructure for new networks, working closely with protocol teams, infrastructure, and security. You will take ownership of launches end-to-end - ensuring that what we ship is reliable, repeatable, and aligned with our platform standards.
The right person for this role is execution-focused, systems-minded, and pragmatic. You are comfortable operating in ambiguity, but you also bring structure-turning unclear requirements into working systems. You care about reliability, automation, and doing things properly, but you also know how to move fast when needed., * Design and implement deployment architectures for validators, full nodes, RPCs, and supporting services
- Ensure all new networks meet production readiness standards-monitoring, alerting, backups, failover, and security
- Collaborate with protocol teams to understand network-specific requirements, risks, and failure modes
- Create repeatable launch patterns and runbooks to reduce time-to-market for new networks, * Improve automation and standardisation of deployments using Terraform, Helm, and internal tooling
- Contribute to the internal platform by aligning launches with existing Kubernetes, observability, and delivery standards
- Implement high-availability and fault-tolerant setups for validator infrastructure
- Continuously improve SLOs, SLIs, and alerting for newly launched networks
Observability & Incident Response
- Ensure all services are fully observable-metrics, logs, and traces
- Define and implement alerts that are actionable and low-noise
- Participate in on-call rotations and incident response
- Lead or contribute to post-incident reviews, focusing on systemic improvements
- Proactively identify and fix reliability risks before they impact production
Security & Best Practices
- Apply security best practices to all deployments-secrets management, access control, and network isolation
- Ensure compliance with internal standards and contribute to SOC 2-aligned practices
- Support secure key management practices for validator infrastructure
Collaboration & Ownership
- Work closely with Infrastructure, Core Networks, and Security teams
- Take ownership of deliverables - from design to production
- Contribute to documentation, runbooks, and knowledge sharing
- Support and mentor more junior engineers when needed
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering
- Strong experience operating production systems at scale
- Hands-on experience with:
- Kubernetes (deployment, troubleshooting, operations)
- Terraform (infrastructure as code)
- Linux systems and networking fundamentals
- Experience with at least one cloud provider (GCP preferred, AWS, Azure, OCI)
- Experience with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or similar)
- Familiarity with CI/CD systems and GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD)
- Solid scripting or programming skills (Go, Python, or similar)
- Experience working in distributed systems or high-availability environments
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills under pressure
- Good communication skills and ability to work across teams (English B2 minimum)
Nice to have
- Experience with blockchain infrastructure (validators, RPC nodes, staking systems)
- Experience with bare-metal environments
- Experience with distributed tracing or advanced observability setups
- Exposure to security and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001)
