Ownership of reliability

Job summary

SQD is seeking an experienced SRE to scale Portal with enterprise-grade reliability. You will own CI/CD, orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code, building a high-availability ingestion pipeline with sub-second latency and 99.9% uptime.

Internally, you’ll optimize hosting strategies across cloud and bare metal, monitor systems, and define SRE metrics, logging, and alerting. This fully remote role offers ownership of reliability and cost-effective infra for a frontier AI/Web3 platform.

• Experience defining metrics, logging, and alerting to keep production healthy.
• Proficiency in Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus, Grafana or equivalent tools.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, data pipelines, and failure modes.
• Cloud infrastructure knowledge (AWS, GCP) and cost optimization.
• Ability to balance performance, reliability and cost, choosing hosted vs self-hosted.
• Programming skills (Python, Go, Rust, or Bash) for automation.
• Experience monitoring blockchain nodes or working with node providers.
• Willingness to learn internals of blockchain nodes and EVM/SVM data.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and optimize a high-availability data ingestion pipeline with sub-second latency and 99.9% uptime.
• Own CI/CD, orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code layers.
• Identify and implement tools to run and monitor blockchain nodes with failover.
• Assess infrastructure trade-offs to optimize performance, reliability, and cost.
• Build and maintain a public status page and incident management process.
• Collaborate with engineers integrating new chains and patches to ingestion pipeline.
• Define and maintain SRE metrics, logging, and alerting.
• Improve observability, automation, and fault tolerance.
• Contribute to incident response and on-call rotations.
