Job Summary
What We Actually Need
📍Linux + Kubernetes: ****you debug real production—networking, storage, rollouts, perf. 📍IaC (Terraform/Helm/Ansible): you ship repeatable infra, not snowflakes. 📍Go or Python (plus Bash): ****you automate noise away and build small, sharp tools. 📍Blockchain operations: JSON‑RPC internals; running/tuning RPC/validator nodes; log analysis. 📍Observability: SLOs/error budgets, Prometheus/Grafana instrumentation that people use. 📍Networking: strong fundamentals (DNS/TLS/LB); you can reason about anycast/BGP when needed.
What You’ll Do
📍Launch & upgrade chains: standups, hard‑forks, snapshots, pruning, clean rollbacks. 📍Automate everything: modules, golden images, CI/CD, zero‑touch deploys across regions. 📍Run K8s at scale: safe rollouts, HPA/VS/ingress tuning, capacity & cost plans that hold up. 📍Own incidents: lead SEV0–2, publish RCAs, and ship the change that prevents a replay. 📍Build signal, not noise: SLOs/error budgets, useful dashboards, alerts that only page when users hurt. 📍Code where it counts: write/extend tools (snapshots, replay/load, state sync checks); occasionally patch client bugs that bite production and upstream when it’s worth it.
The crypto industry is evolving rapidly, offering new opportunities in blockchain, web3, and remote crypto roles — don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
