About the Role

You will join the DevOps team to drive the deployment, security, and reliability of Web3 data and identity protection solutions. You will not wait to be handed a problem. You will identify what matters and bring a clear point of view on how to address it, and you will lead work through to completion in close partnership with the rest of the DevOps team. You will take ownership of key components of the infrastructure while shaping the broader technical direction alongside your teammates, leveraging AI driven automation and infrastructure as code to replace manual processes and ensure the platform meets rigorous security requirements. In this role you will:
