About Acala

Acala's mission is to build and nurture the autonomous financial infrastructure of the decentralized web. Delivering on this mission will bring more financial accessibility, opportunity, and prosperity to everyone on the planet through a new, open financial system.

Our core project is the Acala Network itself, which we expect to become the de facto DeFi parachain and stablecoin of the Polkadot ecosystem. Polkadot provides the underlying trust primitives to our parachain, upon which we’ve built our suite of financial primitives including; decentralized, multi-collateral stablecoin; trustless staking derivatives, and Decentralized Exchange. These primitives will be used by us and other teams to power open DeFi innovations, and remove the need for the intermediaries that inhabit almost every conventional trust-based financial system.

We have secured our support from eminent backers like Polychain, Coinbase Venture, Pantera and many more. Acala has just began its launch process on December 18, 2021, so there’s no better time to join our mission and be a part of the future that we’re building.

DevOps Engineer

Acala is looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our Blockchain Engineering team, reporting to the CTO alongside our Senior DevOps Engineer.

Our platform consists of; Rust-based blockchain modules; an EVM of Solidity-based smart contracts; and a variety of other Fullstack elements built with Typescript / React / Node.js. You can inspect these components here. These modules work together to power our DeFi protocols (for staking, lending, minting stablecoins, etc) which operate on an AWS-centric infrastructure of K8s, Docker, Terraform & Ansible.

Every software product company faces an eternal search for optimum network management. But as a key provider to cryptocurrency markets, Acala also has some very obvious network security concerns...and some that are not so obvious. It will be your job to help us find and solve both. You'll also work very closely with our Software Engineers to solve the Infrastructural problems that stem from having on-chain resources, and any experience in automating solutions to problems like these will be a huge benefit.

Our ideal candidate(s) will have exposure to solving CI/CD problems across web-based applications, and will be able to discuss the highs and lows of site reliability techniques at interview. We're expecting to hire someone who is familiar with crypto & DeFi at minimum, even if only as a user of these products, and we’re open to candidates from a wide range of industries.

To clarify: We're flexible with experience, but if you're unaware of blockchain concepts & DeFi applications this will be a hard job.

Our Team With approximately 40 full-time team members working across 8 different countries, our team is truly decentralised. We’re some of the leading blockchain innovators, Substrate & Rust engineers, full-stack dApp developers, & Economist Analysts. But we're just people like you, working from our shared desire for a fairer and more inclusive financial system, in direct contrast to the clear shortcomings of the current institutions that run our world.

Our Values The community we’re building is shaped by our values and fuelled by the needs of all humans: - Inclusion, Care, Trust, and Respect - Empowerment - Guidance and Support - Friendship, Community, Real Relationships 

We’re building Acala based on a core set of values we believe are in line with the tenets of web3: - True decentralisation - Less Trust, More Truth - Integrity - Accountability - Empowering individuals with more autonomy 

What We Have Achieved Acala was founded in 2019 as an early Web3 Foundation grant recipient, and is an ecosystem and education partner of both the W3F and Polkadot. Throughout 2021 we have proven ourselves to be the DeFi hub(s) of the Polkadot Ecosystem & Community by securing the first crowdloan-funded parachain slots on both the Polkadot & Kusama blockchain networks. But even at this, our true work has only just begun...
