📋 Description

• We’re a fast-moving team backed by top investors, building innovative products in the crypto and fintech space. • You’d be working with Ethereum mainnet and it’s L2s, custom API’s, data pipelines, docker, cloudflare, metrics software, and other tools to help build and maintain a scalable backend. • This role is focused on ensuring our frontend UI, backend API’s, and developer operations are as reliable and scalable as possible. • Users need an intuitive, seamless DeFi experience, without unacceptable reductions in security and decentralization. • The ideal candidate has full stack experience, specialization as an SRE, and a love of scaling. • They should also have the ability to lead a small team to get the job done. • Provision, setup, and secure linux servers (preferably via automation). • Manage blockchain nodes for maximum uptime. • Deploy and configure metrics tooling like Prometheus & Grafana. • Load test to triangulate and fix bottlenecks in our API. • Manage fleets of docker containers with Dokploy / Swarm / Kubernetes / etc. • Help architect solutions and set team priorities to achieve the necessary scaling goals. • Track the critical integration points between the API team and the Frontend and Protocol teams.

🎯 Requirements

• Familiarity with running blockchain nodes and backend services that include and revolve around said nodes. • Production-level experience at a DeFi startup, or deep immersion as an end user. • A security-first mindset; our security standards are extreme. • A strong command of the English language. • A schedule that can accommodate being online for most of a typical US workday - we are flexible on the location but do have a preference for in-person in our San Francisco office on Union Street. • Senior-level ability to write well-tested and performant code in Typescript and/or Rust.
