Remote Crypto Jobs

Job Description

We run 60+ blockchains here at Figment. Come help us scale to 600+.

We are seeking a versatile DevOps Engineer to help configure, automate, and manage our mixed cloud and physical server infrastructure and networking.

This is a full-time remote position, with team members in North America and Europe.

What’s unique about this role is that we deploy production systems with newer (sometimes alpha quality) blockchain software. Given that the software we deploy is in the crypto/blockchain domain, things like security, server hardening, intrusion detection, and monitoring are highly important.

If you’re like us and enjoy learning how to run new infrastructure software on your local/test environment, and then designing and automating high quality production deployments, this role is could be a great fit for you.

You will report to the Automation Team Lead and work with a group of DevOps engineers focused on automating all things related to running blockchain software. It’s critical that you are comfortable working in an unstructured environment, dealing with uncertainty, minimal direction, and working across a wide range of projects.

• Automation of blockchain software build, install, and management processes
• Linux server administration, hardening, intrusion detection, and vulnerability scanning
• Resolution of monitoring alerts and fixing systems in a timely manner

Qualifications
