CTO Advisor (Crypto-Native)

Austin, TX
Operations Team /
Part-time /
Remote

Apply for this job
We’re seeking a hands-on CTO Advisor to stabilize reliability (stop regressions, reduce Sev-1s), install a lightweight SDLC/SRE/MLOps cadence, and leave behind simple runbooks and dashboards the team can operate.

This is an advisor role (not a line-manager): you design gates, coach leads, and facilitate incident and release hygiene.

Type: Advisor (contract)

• Time: 10–20 hrs/week (90 days), then 2–4 hrs/month
• Comp: Equity + $TMAI only (no cash)
• Reporting to: CEOLocation: Austin preferred; open to remote (US/EU/APAC time-zones)

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)

    • Establish release gates in CI/CD (tests/coverage, static checks, feature flags, canary/shadow) and clear rollback/kill-switch triggers.
    • Implement SRE fundamentals: 3–5 SLOs (e.g., data freshness, job success rate, API latency/availability, exception closure time) with an error-budget policy.
    • Enforce Change & Exceptions Logs; drive post-mortems (Sev-1/2) with action items and owners.
    • Pair with Quant to harden AI index safety (model/versioning, parity tests, drift/health alerts).
    • Produce concise runbooks & dashboards; coach engineering leads; hand back the system.

What You Won’t Do (Scope guardrails)

    • No day-to-day people management or sprint ownership.
    • No wallet signatory or payment approvals.
    • No changes to liquidity or emissions policy (owned by the $TMAI council).

Qualifications

    • Must-have

    • 4+ years leading engineering in crypto (protocol/DeFi, exchange, market/data infra, or comparable).
    • Proven SDLC/DevOps/CI-CD and SRE practice (SLOs + error budgets + incident response).
    • Experience shipping data/ML systems or MLOps basics (versioning, parity tests, safe rollout).
    • Excellent technical writing and async collaboration.

    • Nice-to-have

    • Smart-contract security/audit handoffs; keys/secrets/multisig hygiene.
    • Prior work with index/market-data pipelines or exchange connectivity.

Success Metrics (first 90 days)

    • Reliability: measurable reduction in failures (e.g., Sev-1/MTTR ↓ ≥20%; regression escapes ↓ ≥30%).
    • Hygiene: 100% prod changes pre-logged; Sev-1 post-mortems with actions ≤72h; SLOs live and reported monthly.
    • Adoption: release gates and runbooks in use by named owners without advisor involvement.

Collaboration

    • Operating Chair (monthly business review), Quant (AI indices), $TMAI observers (liquidity dependencies), Finance & Controls (audit evidence).

How to Apply

    • Share:

    • 1) a redacted SLO doc you authored
    • 2) a redacted incident/runbook you wrote, 3) two sentences on your biggest reliability turnaround and the gate you added afterward.
