Support the Infrastructure for Crypto's Re-engineered Foundation
Crypto's promise of permissionless innovation is being choked by a broken market structure. At Exchequer, we're re-engineering crypto's financial foundation from the ground up. To do this, we need robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure. That's where you come in.
The Role: Ensure Reliability, Scalability, and Security Across Multiple Chains
As a DevOps Engineer at Exchequer, you will be responsible for building and maintaining the critical infrastructure that powers our innovative financial primitives and protocols. You will ensure our systems are reliable, scalable, and secure, enabling us to operate seamlessly across multiple blockchain ecosystems. Your work is crucial to our ability to deliver sustainable liquidity solutions and empower crypto projects.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, implement, and manage CI/CD pipelines for smart contract deployments and backend services.
- Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code (IaC) using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.
- Manage and monitor our deployments across various cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) and blockchain networks.
- Implement robust monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to ensure high availability and performance.
- Oversee security best practices for our infrastructure, including network security, access control, and vulnerability management.
- Manage blockchain node operations, ensuring they are stable, synced, and performant.
- Collaborate with smart contract and backend engineers to optimize for performance, cost, and reliability.
- Automate operational tasks and develop tools to improve efficiency and system resilience.
Who We're Looking For:
- Proven experience as a DevOps Engineer, SRE, or similar role, preferably within the crypto or fintech space.
- Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Proficiency with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Solid understanding of CI/CD principles and tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi).
- Knowledge of monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
- Familiarity with blockchain technology, node operation, and the specific infrastructure needs of decentralized applications.
- Strong scripting skills (e.g., Bash, Python, Go).
- A proactive approach to identifying and resolving potential infrastructure issues.
- Commitment to security best practices and a resilient infrastructure mindset.
- Ability to work independently in a remote setting and collaborate effectively.
