Web3 Infra Engineer, NetOps - Sentinel

What we're looking for

We are looking for an engineer that can contribute toward the design, implementation and optimization of cloud native and on-premise infrastructure toward supporting PL and its partners with access to data for analysis.

An infrastructure (DevOps) engineer who would work within an agile team of engineers delivering highly resilient, scalable, automated, and performant infrastructure. Our team values pragmatic, maintainable, and conscientious solutions which leave work in a better shape than how it was found.

Typical activities include (but not limited to) contributing infrastructure-as-code via GitHub pull request using helm, Kubernetes, and terraform; interacting with partners on which our infrastructure is dependent; troubleshooting processing pipelines and cloud infrastructure; designing, creating and deploying software solutions to cover functional gaps; and participating in regular meetings with colleagues to keep stakeholders well informed.

Sentinel’s Mission is to provide software and data for monitoring and analysis of the Filecoin blockchain. We help to grow adoption and growth of the decentralized Internet by building and operating software infrastructure in support of the Filecoin, IPFS, and supporting protocols. We do this by providing services that can be consumed in a secure, reliable, and scalable manner. We succeed through working in-the-open, sharing knowledge, collaboration with partners/collaborators, favoring pragmatism/simplicity over sophistication, and fostering a community in support of Filecoin.

Responsibilities

• Own multi-week sprints and quarter-long epics from conception to delivery
• Maintain proactive async communication with stakeholders to provide updates and progress reports
• Operate resilient/highly-available ETL pipelines which meet mission-specific objectives
• Establish measurable service level objectives in collaboration with stakeholders
• Establish comprehensive observability over the performance of supported services
• Write, review, and merge infrastructure-as-code changes to our git repositories
• Improve collaboration and remove friction within and around our team
• Write high-quality design proposals and technical documentation
• Offer bespoke infrastructure support where high-priority opportunities arise
• Adopt and apply deep domain knowledge (specifically in Protocol Lab’s Interplanetary Stack (libp2p, IPFS, Filecoin, etc) to understand and anticipate how it applies within and around your responsibilities
• Promote a positive, productive, and constructive engineering culture toward adopting best practices, experimentation and failing quickly toward success

Qualifications

• At least 3 years experience working in an infrastructure engineering position.
• At least 3 years experience working in a team-based software engineering environment using current best practices such as working with DVC tools, regular code-reviews, and delivering readable/maintainable code.
• Know how to build, run, and secure Docker containers using orchestration platforms (such as Kubernetes).
• Be able to understand deep domain-specific technical topics and how they impact the team’s operational success.
• Be comfortable working remotely and asynchronously by leaning strongly on your ability to communicate written ideas effectively with strong attention to detail.
• Understand computer networks and the Internet and how distributed resources in the cloud communicate: IP, UDP/TCP, DNS, TLS, HTTP, managing websockets, unix sockets as well as custom protocols and abstractions
• Strongly motivated by learning new things and exploring outside-of-the-box solutions.
• Ability to travel a few times each year for face-to-face planning and discussion with colleagues.

Extra Valuable to Have

• Experience with database systems, schema design, and database management. Extra points for direct experience w PostgreSQL and BigQuery.
• Familiarity with data analysis and BI tools, ETL processes, and data manipulation in support of Sentinel’s mission.
• Positively improve the team culture by consistently contributing in a friendly, helpful, and thoughtful way.
