Job Summary
About the role:
Alchemy's mission is to bring web3 to a billion people, providing builders with the tools they need to build exceptional onchain products. Alchemy is the only complete developer platform that offers the powerful APIs, SDKs, and tools necessary to build and scale onchain apps and rollups. Our infrastructure powers 70% of the top web3 teams, 90%+ of web2 companies building in web3, and 100+ million end users. Customers include Polymarket, OpenSea, Circle, WorldCoin, Shopify, and Adobe.
As a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Alchemy, you will design, deploy, and continuously improve the infrastructure powering our blockchain developer platform — serving 100+ chains, billions of daily requests, and over $150B in annual transactions.
Responsibilities:
📍Architect and operate scalable, self-healing infrastructure leveraging Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud-native tools across multi-region deployments. 📍Drive AI enablement across engineering — ensuring repos, tooling, and workflows are optimized for agentic development with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. 📍Build AI-powered infrastructure tooling and automation (e.g., automated K8s upgrades, IaC plan analysis, cost optimization advisors, MCP servers, n8n workflows). 📍Build and maintain internal developer platform (IDP) capabilities for self-service deployments, observability, and reliability. 📍Develop observability frameworks using Prometheus and Grafana for metrics, dashboards, and alerting. 📍Lead incident management with blameless post-mortems; define and enforce SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets across services. 📍Design and manage multi-cloud, multi-region network architecture — VPC design, IPAM, DNS (Cloudflare), cross-cloud connectivity, security groups, and edge-proxy/Istio gateway configuration. 📍Collaborate with security teams to embed compliance into infrastructure, including IaC scanning and runtime protection. 📍Provide technical leadership and mentorship to elevate the team's operational capabilities.
Requirements:
📍5+ years as an Infrastructure Engineer focused on reliability (SRE, Production Engineer, Platform Engineer). 📍Experience driving company-wide reliability efforts, including SLO frameworks and error budget policies. 📍Strong proficiency with observability stacks: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana. 📍Deep experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), Kubernetes, and multi-region architectures. 📍Skilled with Terraform, Helm, and GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD) with an automation-first mindset. 📍Calm and effective incident responder with a focus on systemic improvement. 📍Strong cross-functional communicator across SRE, security, and product engineering.
Nice-to-have: 📍Experience leveraging agentic development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) and workflow automation (n8n) to accelerate IaC and build internal tooling. 📍Solid networking fundamentals — VPC design, DNS, IPAM, security groups, cross-cloud connectivity, and service mesh (e.g., Istio) experience. 📍Blockchain infrastructure, distributed systems, or high-throughput RPC experience.
