- AWS: You will work with core AWS services like EC2 and S3, ensuring their proper operation and debugging.
- Terraform: Experience with Terraform is crucial for contributing to infrastructure-as-code practices.
- Bash: Scripting in Bash will be used for automating tasks and diagnostics.
- Networking: A solid understanding of networking fundamentals is essential for managing connectivity and security.
- Git: Familiarity with Git is necessary for version control in daily workflows.
Who this role suits

- An individual comfortable working in a remote setting with a focus on collaboration.
From the employer
What You'll Do
- Operate and maintain our Linux, AWS, and blockchain-node infrastructure on a day-to-day basis.
- Own routine administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of services and networking.
- Contribute to our infrastructure-as-code work with Terraform, growing your ownership over time.
- Support blockchain node operations across our ecosystem.
- Automate recurring tasks and diagnostics through scripting.
- Help keep our systems secure, patched, and running smoothly.
Requirements
Must-Haves:
- Linux administration: CLI fluency, systemd, package management, log analysis, and troubleshooting of services and networking.
- Shell scripting (Bash) for automation and diagnostics.
- Working knowledge of core AWS services: EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, CloudWatch, and load balancers (ELB/ALB). You should be able to operate and debug them, not necessarily architect them.
- Terraform at a working level: you have authored and applied configurations and understand state and the plan/apply cycle. Prior Terraform experience on any cloud is fine, it doesn't need to be AWS.
- Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, SSH, firewalls and security groups.
- Git: comfortable with the everyday branch/commit/PR workflow.
- Sound credential and access hygiene: proper SSH key handling, least-privilege IAM, keeping secrets out of code and repositories, and keeping systems patched.
