About Trojan
Trojan is at the forefront of crypto trading technology, known as the largest Telegram trading bot for facilitating over $28 billion in volume traded by more than 50,000 daily active users. We deliver seamless on-chain trading experiences with advanced tools such as DCA & limit orders, sniping, and automatic wallet copy-trading. Our platform sets the standard in speed, innovation, and reliability. As we scale further, we aim to maintain our reputation as a market leader in crypto trading innovation. To do so we've chosen to keep our team small, and bring together only the most exceptional talent in crypto.
Why Join Us?
At Trojan, we’re pushing the boundaries of on-chain trading technology. Joining our team offers you the chance to work on products that already serve a large and active user base, collaborating with top-tier engineers in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. Working at Trojan Trading means having fast paced releases with your work being live in the hands of tens of thousands of users as soon as it’s complete.
Role Overview
We’re looking for a Senior Platform Engineer with strong Kubernetes operations experience to lead our transition from AWS-managed services to workloads running on EKS. Over time, this role will also help reduce AWS dependency and make parts of the platform portable to other infrastructure providers, potentially including Hetzner.
This is not only a CI/CD or application deployment role. We need someone who has operated production Kubernetes environments, understands stateful workloads, and can own infrastructure decisions end to end.
Key Responsibilities
- Platform Migration: Lead the transition from AWS-managed services and existing cloud infrastructure toward EKS-based workloads, with a longer-term goal of reducing AWS lock-in where appropriate.
- Infrastructure Architecture: Design and maintain high-availability, low-latency infrastructure, initially on AWS/EKS, while keeping future portability to other providers in mind.
- Cloud Operations: Manage cloud resources, load balancers, autoscaling groups, and containerized workloads. Ensure cost efficiency, resilience, and smooth scaling as trading volumes increase.
- Automation: Develop and manage infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, or similar) to ensure consistent, reproducible deployments.
- CI/CD Pipeline Management: Build, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines to enable fast and reliable deployments.
- Observability & Reliability: Own monitoring, alerting, and performance visibility across the stack using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog. Drive initiatives to improve uptime, latency, and fault recovery.
Requirements
- Technical Requirements:
- 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure roles.
- Production experience operating at least one stateful or data infrastructure system in Kubernetes. Kafka/RedPanda or Postgres are the strongest signals. ClickHouse or Flink are also highly relevant. Spark and Trino/Presto count if you operated the platform, not merely submitted jobs or wrote queries.
- Deep experience with AWS and production Kubernetes, especially EKS. ECS experience is useful, but Kubernetes operational experience is required.
- Strong background in Terraform or other IaC tools.
- Experience managing CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins).
- Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, load balancing, and microservices orchestration.
- Performance & Scale Mindset:
- Proven ability to design infrastructure for high throughput, low-latency workloads, and high-frequency data systems.
- Experience tuning cloud and containerized workloads for optimal performance.
- We are not looking for someone who has only deployed applications to an existing Kubernetes cluster; we need someone who has operated, debugged, upgraded, or owned Kubernetes infrastructure in production.
- Prior experience with performance-critical web or trading systems.
- Pride: We look for people who take deep pride and responsibility in the products they build. Crypto moves at breakneck speed, and only the most driven, fast-moving teams succeed.
- Team Collaboration:
- Strong communication skills to work effectively within a cross-functional team.
- Experience working within a mid-sized engineer team.
Nice-To-Haves
- Experience working with crypto trading platforms, DeFi protocols, or on-chain infrastructure.
- Familiarity with Solana RPCs, indexing nodes, or validator management.
- Knowledge of data streaming or real-time analytics pipelines.
- Passion or experience in on-chain trading; being a part-time trader on Solana is a plus.
What We Offer
- Remote Flexibility: Work from anywhere on your schedule.
- Challenging Projects: Solve complex problems with cutting-edge technology in the trading space.
- Impactful Role: Shape backend systems powering one of the largest trading platforms on the market and shaping the experience of tens of thousands of daily users.
- Collaborative Culture: Join a team that values innovation, efficiency, and collaboration.
Compensation/Culture
The overall market range for roles at Trojan Trading is typically $250k - $500k annually. This market range is based on total compensation. Trojan Trading has a culture that is built upon meritocracy, high-intensity output, and personal growth.

How do I get a job at DeFi?
Getting a job in the DeFi (decentralized finance) industry can be a competitive process, but there are a few steps you can take to increase your chances of finding a job in this field:
- Build up your skills and knowledge: To work in DeFi, you'll likely need to have a strong understanding of blockchain technology, as well as other related technologies such as smart contracts and cryptocurrency. Consider taking online courses or earning a degree in a relevant field to build up your skills and knowledge.
- Network with industry professionals: Attend meetups and conferences related to DeFi and make connections with professionals in the industry. Networking can be a valuable way to learn about job openings and get your foot in the door at a DeFi company.
- Create a strong online presence: Many DeFi companies will look at your online presence (such as your LinkedIn profile and personal website) when considering you for a job. Make sure to showcase your skills and accomplishments online and keep your profile up to date.
- Apply for relevant job openings: Keep an eye out for job openings at DeFi companies and apply for positions that align with your skills and experience. Apply for DeFi Jobs without Experience. Tailor your resume and cover letter to the specific job you're applying for and highlight any relevant experience or skills you have.
- Consider internships or volunteer work: DeFi Internships or volunteer work can be a great way to get your foot in the door and gain valuable experience in the DeFi industry. Many companies also offer internships to students, so consider applying for an internship if you're still in school.
- Be persistent: keep trying if you don't get a job right away. It can take time to find the right opportunity, but with the right skills and determination, you can land a job in the DeFi industry.
