Your role will involve creating efficient AI-powered infrastructure tooling and ensuring operational excellence across multi-cloud environments.

You will work in a team that emphasizes collaboration and technical leadership, contributing to the development of observability frameworks and incident management practices. Success in this role means driving reliability efforts and optimizing workflows to support a diverse range of clients, including top web3 and global brands.

The salary range for this position is between $135,000 and $240,000, reflecting the seniority and expertise required.

Skills that matter here

• Kubernetes: This role involves architecting and operating scalable infrastructure using Kubernetes.
• Terraform: You will utilize Terraform for infrastructure as code and automation.
• AWS: Experience with AWS is essential for managing cloud infrastructure.
• GCP: Proficiency in GCP is required for multi-cloud architecture.
• Prometheus: You will develop observability frameworks using Prometheus.
• Grafana: Grafana will be used for creating dashboards and alerting metrics.

Who this role suits

• A candidate who thrives under pressure and remains calm during incidents.
• Someone with strong communication skills who can collaborate across different teams.
• An individual with a proactive approach to driving reliability and systemic improvements.
• A professional with a solid foundation in cloud technologies and a passion for infrastructure.

From the employer

• Architect and operate scalable, self-healing infrastructure leveraging Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud-native tools across multi-region deployments.
• Drive AI enablement across engineering — ensuring repos, tooling, and workflows are optimized for agentic development with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
• Build AI-powered infrastructure tooling and automation (e.g., automated K8s upgrades, IaC plan analysis, cost optimization advisors, MCP servers, n8n workflows).
• Build and maintain internal developer platform (IDP) capabilities for self-service deployments, observability, and reliability.
• Develop observability frameworks using Prometheus and Grafana for metrics, dashboards, and alerting.
• Lead incident management with blameless post-mortems; define and enforce SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets across services.
• Design and manage multi-cloud, multi-region network architecture — VPC design, IPAM, DNS (Cloudflare), cross-cloud connectivity, security groups, and edge-proxy/istio gateway configuration.
• Collaborate with security teams to embed compliance into infrastructure, including IaC scanning and runtime protection.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to elevate the team’s operational capabilities.

• 5+ years as an Infrastructure Engineer focused on reliability (SRE, Production Engineer, Platform Engineer).
• Experience driving company-wide reliability efforts, including SLO frameworks and error budget policies.
• Strong proficiency with observability stacks: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana.
• Deep experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), Kubernetes, and multi-region architectures.
• Skilled with Terraform, Helm, and GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD) with an automation-first mindset.
• Experience leveraging agentic development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) and workflow automation (n8n) to accelerate IaC and build internal tooling is a strong plus.
• Solid networking fundamentals — VPC design, DNS, IPAM, security groups, cross-cloud connectivity, and service mesh (e.g., Istio) experience is a plus.
• Calm and effective incident responder with a focus on systemic improvement.
• Strong cross-functional communicator across SRE, security, and product engineering.
• Blockchain infrastructure, distributed systems, or high-throughput RPC experience — not required but a plus.
