Remote Ethereum Jobs

Role Summary:

We are looking for an experienced engineer to join our small, but growing, protocol engineering team. You’d be working with Ethereum mainnet and it’s L2s, custom API’s, data pipelines, docker, cloudflare, metrics software, and other tools to help build and maintain a scalable backend. This role is focused on ensuring our frontend UI, backend API’s, and developer operations are as reliable and scalable as possible. Users need an intuitive, seamless DeFi experience, without unacceptable reductions in security and decentralization. The ideal candidate has full stack experience, specialization as an SRE, and a love of scaling. They should also have the ability to lead a small team to get the job done. We’re a startup and people wear many hats, but being a top-notch SRE is the primary responsibility.

Our Stack:

• Bare metal boxes

• Linux (Unbuntu)

• Docker

• Redis

• Postgres

• Cloudflare

• Typescript

• Rust

Responsibilities:

• Provision, setup, and secure linux servers (preferably via automation)

• Manage blockchain nodes for maximum uptime

• Deploy and configure metrics tooling like Prometheus & Grafana

• Load test to triangulate and fix bottlenecks in our API

• Manage fleets of docker containers with Dokploy / Swarm / Kubernetes / etc

• Help architect solutions and set team priorities to achieve the necessary scaling goals

• Track the critical integration points between the API team and the Frontend and Protocol teams

Requirements:

• Familiarity with running blockchain nodes and backend services that include and revolve around said nodes.

• Production-level experience at a DeFi startup, or deep immersion as an end user.

• A security-first mindset; our security standards are extreme.

• A strong command of the English language.

• A schedule that can accommodate being online for most of a typical US workday - we are flexible on the location but do have a preference for in-person in our San Francisco office on Union Street.

• Senior-level ability to write well-tested and performant code in Typescript and/or Rust.

Bonus:

• Deep knowledge of Reth or experience tweaking Ethereum nodes for better performance.
