Role Overview

As our Staff Infrastructure Engineer, you will own the platform that powers our protocol and apps. You will design and run AWS-first, highly available systems that scale with real usage; turn infrastructure into code (Kubernetes, CDK/Terraform) and wire up fast, boring deploys (GitHub Actions, CodePipeline); and build end-to-end observability (metrics, logs, traces, SLIs/SLOs) to keep latency low and uptime high. You will harden and monitor clusters, manage secrets, and lead incident response with a blameless mindset, then shave costs and milliseconds after. You will partner with product and protocol teams to operate execution clients, validators, RPC/DA/indexing workloads in production, and you will scout new DevOps/Web3 tooling, drive PoCs, and level up our paved-road. Bonus points if you have shipped in TEEs (TDX/SEV-SNP/Nitro Enclaves) or run blockchain infra at scale.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Architect and implement highly-available cloud infrastructure (AWS-first) that scales seamlessly with user demand.
  2. Build declarative CI/CD pipelines and IaC workflows (CDK, GitHub Actions, CodePipeline) for friction-free shipping.
  3. Provision, harden, and monitor deployed clusters to support workloads.
  4. Instrument comprehensive observability-metrics, logs, traces, SLIs/SLOs-and respond to incidents with a blameless mindset.
  5. Collaborate with product and protocol teams to run blockchain execution clients, validators, and RPC endpoints in production.
  6. Continuously benchmark, profile, and optimize infrastructure cost, latency, and throughput.
  7. Evaluate emerging DevOps and Web3 tooling, draft proposals, and lead proof-of-concept roll-outs.

Required Skills

  1. 7+ years DevOps / SRE experience in a public-cloud environment (preferably AWS).
  2. Production-grade expertise with Docker and Kubernetes (design, security, multi-cluster ops).
  3. Deep hands-on skill in CI/CD tooling-GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CodeBuild, or similar.
  4. Proven command of IaC and secrets management with CDK/Terraform (or equivalents).
  5. Strong scripting / automation chops in Python, Bash, or Ruby.
  6. Solid grounding in distributed-systems design, networking, and cloud security.
  7. Fluent in modern SRE concepts: observability, alerting, incident response, SLAs/SLOs, error budgets.

Preferred Skills

  1. Direct experience deploying and scaling workloads inside Trusted Execution Environments (Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP, AWS Nitro Enclaves).
  2. Operating blockchain infrastructure in production: execution clients, consensus/validator nodes, RPC and archive nodes.
  3. Experience running data-availability layers, rollup sequencers, or indexer/graph nodes at scale.
  4. Contributions to open-source DevOps, TEE, or blockchain projects.
