Network Launch & Operations

• Lead the end-to-end launch of new blockchain networks—from testnet to mainnet
• 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

Infrastructure & Reliability Engineering

• Build and operate infrastructure across cloud and bare-metal environments
• 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

Required

• 5+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering
• Strong experience operating production systems at scale
• Hands-on experience with:

• 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)
