Consensys is hiring a

Web3 Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

at ConsenSys  

Remote, Global, Team, Full Time/Part Time/Contract/Intern

Our mission is to unlock the collaborative power of communities by making Web3 universally easy to use, access, and build on.

Working with ConsenSys puts you at the forefront of an evolving paradigm, transforming our society for the better. We fundamentally believe blockchain is the next generation of technology that can lay the foundation for a more just and equitable society. 

Blockchain tech is just over 10 years old. Ethereum itself is still a toddler and we’re far from reaching our full potential. You’ll get to work on the tools, infrastructure, and apps that scale these platforms to billions of users. 

You’ll be constantly exposed to new concepts, ideas, and frameworks from your peers, and as you work on different projects — challenging you to stay at the top of your game. You’ll join a network of entrepreneurs and technologists that reaches the edge of our ecosystem. ConsenSys alumni have moved on to become tech entrepreneurs, CEOs, and team leads at tech companies. 

About Infura 

Infura is the leading infrastructure platform providing scalable and easy-to-use APIs and cloud solutions for blockchain and decentralized application developers. Infura currently offers APIs for Ethereum, IPFS, and other leading decentralized networks, allowing developers to immediately begin building instead of spending time on architecting and maintaining their own infrastructure.

Infura provides developers instant access to decentralized and blockchain networks without the need to sync or understand complicated peer to peer infrastructure. Similar to how one might access a cloud service to alleviate the friction of owning proprietary compute and storage, Infura lowers the barrier to entry for engineers to begin building.

We believe in a more equitable and decentralized future, and we know developers will be at the forefront of that progress. We want to empower developers to spend their time building, creating, and evolving by providing them with the best and easiest solution to their infrastructure needs.

What you’ll do

Be part of a world-class infrastructure and tools team responsible for core Infura engineering projects. The SRE team is an integral part of supporting a globally available, high performance service. Modern tools and practices help our developers work safely and efficiently.

As part of the SRE team, you will be leading the way to champion and document best practices building tooling for observability, test automation, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, single pane of glass observability, and execution tracing. The SRE team is the subject matter expert to evangelize and ensure best practices are employed from design to production across engineering teams. When incidents occur, SREs help manage issue resolution, research root causes, and promote changes to ensure reliability in the customer experience.

We work with infrastructure as code tools (e.g. Pulumi, Terraform), containers and container orchestration (e.g. Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, ECS); event source / message based architectures (e.g. Kinesis, EventBridge); frontend applications (e.g. React, nodejs, etc); both RDBMS and NoSQL Datastores (e.g. Postgres, Mongo, Redis, DynamoDb); monitoring tools (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Datadog); Linux based operating systems; and of course blockchain and DLT.

Would be great if you brought this to the role

• The ideal candidate would have 5+ years in a DevOps, System Operations, or SRE role.
• Extensive experience troubleshooting, debugging, monitoring, and working with microservices, cloud native, or distributed systems.
• High level of excellence with regards to best practices in security, compliance, high availability, and system resilience.
• Infura maintains cloud based systems, so deep experience with one or more cloud providers (bonus for AWS) is preferable.

Don't meet all the requirements? Don't sweat it. We’re passionate about building a diverse team of humans and as such, if you think you've got what it takes for our chaotic-but-fun, remote-friendly, start-up environment—apply anyway. While we have a pretty good idea of what we need, we're ready for you to challenge our thinking on who needs to be in this role.
