DevOps Engineer - Blockchain and Data Platforms

At the heart is Hamsa's AI-powered EVM-compatible ledger, the first blockchain infrastructure to combine powerful IP: composability, high speed (10-100X faster), and zero-knowledge privacy-enabling real-time settlement for stable coins and digital assets on a public chain, with privacy. Hamsa serves the world's largest global financial institutions in the US, LATAM, and APAC. We are seeking a Senior DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to build and operate a production-grade, institution-ready platform supporting data-intensive financial applications and blockchain-integrated services.

This role sits close to the application stack and is responsible for ensuring:

• Reliability, scalability, and security of platform services
• Continuous delivery pipelines using GitOps principles
• Deep observability across distributed systems
• Integration with enterprise DevOps, security, and compliance frameworks

You will work hands-on with Kubernetes (EKS), ArgoCD, and cloud infrastructure, while collaborating closely with application engineers building data pipelines, cryptographic services, and blockchain integrations.

This is a high-impact role requiring both strong technical depth and the ability to operate within a regulated, institution-grade environment.

What you will own:

• deploy and manage services using GitOps (ArgoCD)
• operate Kubernetes (EKS) clusters in production
• ensure high availability and resilience of critical services
• implement end-to-end observability (metrics, logs, traces)
• integrate with enterprise tooling for security, identity, and compliance
• support application teams with reliable, scalable infrastructure, Kubernetes & Cloud Platform Engineering
• Design, deploy, and operate Kubernetes clusters (EKS) for production workloads
• Define and manage cluster architecture, networking and ingress, workload isolation and scaling, resource optimization
• Ensure platform reliability, performance, and cost efficiency

GitOps & Continuous Deliver

• Implement and manage GitOps workflows using ArgoCD
• Define deployment standards for micro-services, data pipelines, blockchain-integrated services
• Maintain environment consistency across dev, staging, and production
• Support safe, auditable, and repeatable releases

Observability & Reliability Engineering

• Build and maintain a comprehensive observability stack, including: metrics (e.g., Prometheus), logs (e.g., ELK / OpenSearch or similar), distributed tracing (e.g., OpenTelemetry)
• Define SLIs, SLOs, and alerting strategies
• Enable proactive detection and resolution of system issues
• Partner with engineering teams to improve system resilience and performance

Production Operations & Incident Management

• Establish and maintain production readiness standards
• Lead or participate in: incident response, root cause analysis (RCA), post-mortems
• Continuously improve system reliability and operational processes

Security, Compliance & Enterprise Integration

• Integrate platform with institution-grade DevOps and security tooling, including: identity and access management, secrets management, audit logging, vulnerability scanning
• Ensure compliance with internal policies and regulatory expectations
• Work closely with cybersecurity teams to embed security into the platform

Developer Enablement

• Provide tooling and support for application teams to: deploy services reliably, monitor and debug systems, scale workloads effectively
• Improve developer experience through automation and platform abstractions

Infrastructure as Code & Automation

• Build and maintain infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) (e.g., Terraform or similar)
• Automate provisioning, scaling, and operational tasks
• Ensure reproducibility and consistency across environments

Do you have experience in Terraform?, Do you have a Bachelor's degree?, * 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering roles

• Strong hands-on experience with: Kubernetes (EKS or equivalent), ArgoCD / GitOps workflows

• Experience building and operating production-grade distributed systems

• Strong experience with observability tooling (metrics, logs, tracing)

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred)

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and release automation

• Strong understanding of: containerization (Docker), networking concepts, system reliability and fault tolerance

• Experience integrating with enterprise security and DevOps frameworks

• Strong troubleshooting and incident response skills

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

• MBA or advanced technical degree is a plus
