Golang Engineer: Cloud Platform
Offering everything miners need—pool, firmware, hardware, energy, and financial tools—all in one powerful platform.
About Luxor Technology
Luxor provides a comprehensive suite of solutions for cryptocurrency miners. Their offerings include a U.S.-based, SOC 2 Type 2–certified, institutional-grade Mining Pool that provides transparent FPPS revenue and real-time reporting. They also offer LuxOS Firmware, engineered for performance and security, to give miners full control over their hardware. Their Hardware Trading Desk facilitates the buying and selling of ASICs with end-to-end logistics. For financial management, Luxor provides hashrate markets for derivatives to help miners and institutions manage risk and trade exposure. Additionally, their Hashrate Index offers metrics, analysis, and research on the Bitcoin network and mining industry.
Skills
About the Role
You will build and maintain the core infrastructure that powers the platform. You will architect, maintain, and evolve gRPC API services (ConnectRPC), design and operate a private programmable microservices fabric, and manage identity services using the Ory stack (Kratos, Keto, Hydra). You will develop DDoS mitigation strategies, build high-performance Go gRPC services that scale to millions of users, and implement immutable infrastructure enabling full tear-down and rapid reconstruction. You will write clear Engineering Requirement Documents, translate them into actionable plans, and collaborate with Applications (TypeScript) and Platform teams to expose robust APIs. You will also build monitoring, define error boundaries, and document operational expectations to ensure maintainability and resilience.
Requirements
- Proficient in Golang with deep experience building high-performance concurrent applications
- Strong track record architecting and maintaining gRPC services (bonus for ConnectRPC)
- Experience implementing or managing identity services (Ory stack: Kratos, Keto, Hydra) or similar OIDC/OAuth2 providers
- Understanding of overlay networking (e.g., WireGuard) and service mesh to securely connect microservices
- Experience anticipating adversarial behavior and implementing DDoS mitigation (e.g., eBPF or traffic shaping)
- Practice designing immutable infrastructure where servers are cattle not pets
- Experience writing Engineering Requirement Documents and translating concepts into technical plans
- Experience building monitoring, defining error boundaries, and documenting operational expectations
- Ability to work reliably within core time zones in LATAM (GMT-3) or the Philippines (GMT+8) and communicate in English
