Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Forward Deployed Engineer - Platform - **Company:** GALAXY, INC. - **Location:** United States (Remote available) - **Salary:** $200,000.0 - $250,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Software as a Service, Continuous Integration, Distributed Systems, Python (Programming Language), Key Management, PostgreSQL, Automation of Marketing, Blockchain, TypeScript, Rust (Programming Language), Datadog, Git Flow, Kubernetes, Apache Kafka, Software Coding - **Published:** June 13, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=5c3b7bbd782d5471 ## About the Role Do you have experience in Tooling?, * Substantial experience building and operating distributed systems in production, ideally where reliability and security are first-class concerns. * Deep comfort with the modern infrastructure stack: Kubernetes, AWS (or equivalent), infrastructure-as-code, GitOps, observability tooling, CI/CD. * Strong software engineering fundamentals in at least one systems-capable language (Go, Rust, Python, TypeScript - what you've shipped matters more than which). * Experience operating systems that hold or move value - custody, payments, exchanges, key management, HSMs, MPC - or a clear track record in adjacent high-stakes domains. * Comfort being customer-facing. You'll sit with client engineers, understand their constraints, and ship into their environment. Strong written and verbal communication. * High agency. We operate decentralized command - squad leads own within their mandate. You should be the kind of engineer who finds the work, not the kind who waits for it. * For staff candidates: a track record of setting technical direction across multiple teams or engagements, and of growing the engineers around you. Bonus Points: * Blockchain / protocol experience - validators, PoS consensus, signer infrastructure, or DeFi protocol integration. * Experience with MPC, HSMs, threshold signing, or secure enclaves (Nitro, SGX). * Background in forward-deployed or solutions engineering - working directly inside client environments rather than at arm's length. * Experience operating multi-chain infrastructure (ETH, Solana, Cosmos-SDK chains, L2s). ## Description We are a diverse team of free thinkers, and fast movers united to help investors and creators energize the global economy. We are looking for individuals who thrive in a culture of builders and overachievers and embrace high performance, transparent feedback, and a mission-first approach. Our culture shapes our way of working and gets us where we want to be. * Seek Excellence. * Be Selective To Be Effective. * Be Highly Aligned, Loosely Coupled. * Disagree Transparently. * Encourage Independent Decision-Making. * Build Dream Teams. Who You Are: As a Forward Deployed Engineer - Platform, you'll work across two modes. When embedded with a client, you're writing code on their problem - integrating against their systems, shipping the glue between our modules and theirs, sitting alongside their engineers and ours. Tier-1 engagements look less like SaaS adoption and more like joint engineering. When at home base, you're hardening the shared platform that every engagement runs on - compute, networking, observability, CI/CD, validator clusters, the foundation underneath the modules. The work spans Kubernetes (EKS, GitOps with FluxCD), AWS, Kafka, secrets and key management (KMS/HSM, MPC), Postgres, and the observability stack. Engineers rotate between the two. The deployments keep the platform honest; the platform makes the deployments scalable. This is a senior-to-staff level role. We're open on exact level - the bar is the same, scope and influence scale with it. What You'll Do: * Embrace and champion the thoughtful adoption of AI to improve team performance and business outcomes. * Leverage AI tools (e.g., generative AI, automation platforms, data copilots) to improve productivity, decision-making, and output quality in your day-to-day work. * Embed with clients on real integration work across staking, tokenization, DeFi, validators, and Edge engagements. Translate their constraints into platform requirements and ship the code that closes the gap. * Own and harden parts of the shared platform between deployments: validator clusters, observability, deployment tooling, the EKS environment, the data plane. * Generalize patterns that emerge from client work into reusable platform capabilities - so the next engagement doesn't start from zero. * Operate production systems where the failure mode is institutional money and reputation. On-call, incident response, postmortems * Contribute to architecture decisions across modules - staking, MPC quorum coordination, policy engine, vaults ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Debugging in the Dark](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1658-debugging-in-the-dark) - [Optimizing Discovery: PostgreSQL's Role in Transforming GetYourGuide's Search](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1647-optimizing-discovery-postgresql-s-role-in-transforming-getyourguide-s-search) - [Inside Bitpanda's Tech Stack: Scaling a European Fintech Leader - Markus Dorner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1979-inside-bitpanda-s-tech-stack-scaling-a-european-fintech-leader-markus-dorner) - [Why Git Still Matters](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100288-why-git-still-matters) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers)
