Web3 Jobs in Seattle, Washington, United States

Kurtosis is looking to add to our founding engineering team as we aim to solve the hardest problems in distributed systems development, remodeling the development workflow in web3 and blockchain completely.

We provide developer tools that fundamentally change the way blockchain technology is built by giving engineers complete control over their development and testing environments.

The history of software development is abstraction layers over abstraction layers: assembly code is built over 0’s and 1’s, and C is built over assembly code. Kurtosis is the next layer of abstraction needed to effectively develop decentralized systems, built on top of tooling like Docker and Kubernetes.

Come join us as we seek to build reliable distributed systems in real, high-stakes environments, all while doing so with a passion to promote an environment of kindness, open discussion, and extreme ownership.

• Build stable and scalable architecture, understanding the tradeoffs between consistency, durability, and costs to build solutions to meet the evolution of a rapidly growing platform
• Follow SRE principles to consistently deliver the Kurtosis platform in a reliable manner
• Collaborate with both internal and external stakeholders to gather feedback and continually improve the platform
• Lead a growing team of engineers and collaborate with them during PR’s and Code Reviews
