The infrastructure team enables Chainlink development and maintains services that support the health of the most widely adopted oracle network in the world. As a Release Engineer, you will stand at the intersection of our Infrastructure, Core, and QA teams, overseeing all parts of the release process for all Chainlink services and tools. You will improve CI/CD pipelines to increase developer velocity in all teams across the company, and work towards stable, repeatable, fully automated builds of all parts of the Chainlink ecosystem.
This high-visibility role is perfect for a person with substantial CI/CD knowledge and exceptional communication skills, passionate about shipping great products and creating product impact.
We are distributed across time zones and continents, and we embrace remote work. In the Infrastructure team, we follow the infrastructure-as-code approach and practice GitOps. You are not expected to be on call in this role and can choose your working hours—except for scheduled meetings and the release process that will require your full attention.
We all have different backgrounds and are determined to help you succeed no matter where you are or who you are. If you think you would do a great job at Chainlink, we are looking forward to speaking with you, even if you don't match 100% of the job requirements: those describe people we've usually had a great time working with, but they're not a tick-box exercise.
Our Stack Some of the tools and services we use daily or almost daily are:
AWS; Terraform/Terragrunt; Kubernetes, Calico and ArgoCD; Prometheus and Grafana; GitHub Actions; Packer
We expect you to have exceptional knowledge of most of the build and CI/CD tools we use and be comfortable with the rest of our stack.
