Senior Infrastructure Engineer / Senior LLM Systems Engineer
Role in brief
Somnia and Risk Labs are hiring Senior Engineers for two distinct roles: an Infrastructure Engineer for Somnia's L1 blockchain, focusing on SRE and CI/CD, and an LLM Systems Engineer for Risk Labs, concentrating on improving and monitoring LLM performance for oracle systems. Candidates with strong production infrastructure experience or deep LLM development expertise should consider applying.
About the role
This opening offers two distinct paths for senior engineers within the crypto space. The Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Somnia will be responsible for the site reliability engineering of a high-performance L1 blockchain. This includes managing infrastructure for nodes, RPC, and indexing, as well as overseeing CI/CD pipelines, defining service level objectives, and participating in an on-call rotation. The core focus is on maintaining robust and efficient production infrastructure.
Alternatively, the Senior LLM Systems Engineer at Risk Labs will work on enhancing the accuracy and performance of LLM systems used in oracle protocols. This involves designing evaluation frameworks, implementing monitoring solutions, and ensuring the fault tolerance of these systems. The role requires a strong understanding of how LLMs function in high-load production environments, specifically within the context of agents and tools.
Success in the Infrastructure Engineer role means ensuring the stability and performance of Somnia's L1 blockchain through effective SRE practices. For the LLM Systems Engineer, success is measured by the improved accuracy, performance, and reliability of Risk Labs' LLM-powered oracle systems. Both roles contribute to critical infrastructure within their respective organizations, demanding a high level of expertise in their specialized domains.
The salary for these senior engineering roles ranges from $100,000 to $200,000 per year, with the Somnia position also offering tokens.
Skills that matter here
- Terraform: This tool is used for managing and provisioning infrastructure as code, crucial for the Infrastructure Engineer role.
- K8s: Kubernetes is essential for orchestrating containerized applications and services, relevant for infrastructure management.
- Go: This programming language is likely used for backend development within the infrastructure or blockchain components.
- TypeScript: This language is used for development, particularly relevant for the LLM Systems Engineer role.
- Python: This language is a primary development tool for the LLM Systems Engineer, especially for building and managing LLM systems.
- Prometheus: This monitoring system is used for collecting and alerting on metrics, important for both infrastructure and LLM system health.
Who this role suits
- A person with extensive experience operating production infrastructure in cloud or bare-metal environments.
- Someone who thrives on ensuring system reliability, managing CI/CD, and participating in on-call rotations.
- An engineer with at least three years of development experience in Python/TypeScript, specifically with LLMs and agents in production.
- A candidate who deeply understands LLM mechanics and can design fault-tolerant systems for high-load environments.
