Principal DevOps Engineer

Job Description

We are looking for a Principal DevOps engineer to build and maintain the infrastructure supporting the next-generation blockchain for stablecoins. You will work closely with 4 of our wonderful DevOps engineers, valuing technical ambition and ownership.

What you will do

• Own the reliability roadmap: lead the architectural evolution of our production systems toward higher availability, graceful degradation, and predictable failure recovery.
• Redesign for resilience: identify brittleness in existing infrastructure and drive systematic improvements, such as chaos engineering, redundancy patterns, and blast-radius reduction.
• Elevate observability: transform our monitoring from system health to risk awareness, ensuring we catch issues before they escalate to incidents.
• Strengthen operational rigour: improve our runbooks, incident response protocols, and post-mortem practices to compound reliability gains over time.
• Mentor and uplift the team: share hard-won lessons from operating at scale, raise the collective bar, and nurture a culture of ownership.
• Partner across engineering: work with protocol, client, and backend teams to bake reliability in at the design phase.

Who you are

• You have 10+ years of operating distributed systems at scale, ideally at companies where uptime was existential: big tech, HFT, exchanges, or blockchain infrastructure.
• You bring system design depth: you’ve architected platforms for fault tolerance, not just deployed them, and can articulate trade-offs across availability, consistency, and latency.
• You have a battle-tested intuition for failure: you know what breaks under load, under partition, under adversarial conditions, and you design accordingly.
• You are fluent in Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud infrastructure, but you think in terms of architecture, not just tooling.
• You’ve led reliability transformations before, taking production systems from “good enough” to “financial-grade.”
• You lead through influence, not authority; you elevate teams without diminishing the work that came before.

Nice to have

• Production blockchain experience: running L1/L2 infrastructure, validator operations, or RPC networks at scale.
• Background in HFT, trading systems, or fintech where latency and uptime directly impact P&L.
• Experience with formal SRE practices: error budgets, SLOs, capacity planning, and incident management at scale.
• Familiarity with Rust-based systems, consensus protocols, or indexing infrastructure.
• Track record of building reliability culture: not just systems, but the practices and mindsets that sustain them.
