Ethereum Foundation is hiring a
Web3 DevOps Engineer

Location: Anywhere

About the Ethereum Foundation:

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is a global non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Ethereum and related technologies.

The EF is not a company, or even a traditional non-profit. We do not control Ethereum, nor are we the only organization that funds critical development of Ethereum-related technologies. We are part of a large ecosystem of organizations, individuals, and companies that support Ethereum.

Our mission is to do what is best for Ethereum’s long-term success. Our role is to allocate resources to critical projects, to be a valued voice within the Ethereum ecosystem, and to advocate for Ethereum to the outside world.

Overview:

As part of the DevOps team, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by providing direct support to the Ethereum ecosystem. You’ll improve collaboration and productivity by automating infrastructure, workflows, and collaborating with the collective of largely independent, international teams researching and developing critical technology for the Ethereum ecosystem.

We’re looking for someone excited with helping Ethereum go through the merge. This position would mainly deal with the DevOps needs for the Consensus Layer clients in the lead up to the merge. This would include maintaining infrastructure for testnets/fuzzers, building custom tooling to help solve problems, and communicating solutions to the wider community. This role demands the ability to work independently with a team-oriented approach. You’ll be joining a truly international team with the majority being based within a European time zone.

We do not work as lone wolves in this team. We encourage group debugging, learning sessions, reaching out to external teams, and sharing knowledge.

Hard requirements:
While listed as hard requirements, please do reach out even if you are unsure of any points. We promise to make it a pleasant conversation.
