Skills
About the Role
You'll work within a fast-paced engineering team on the design, deployment, and continuous improvement of the blockchain infrastructure that powers a developer platform used globally. You'll operate state-of-the-art systems for running blockchain RPC nodes at scale across many chains and regions, and leverage your experience to keep a highly available live system running for customers. You'll deploy and maintain nodes, manage Kubernetes clusters, perform upgrades and hard fork migrations, participate in on-call rotations, build automation tooling, and collaborate cross-functionally on capacity planning and SLO reporting.
Requirements
