Jobbeschreibung

Blockstream was founded in 2014 by Dr. Adam Back and a group of fellow cryptographers and engineers who are passionate about Bitcoin and its potential to change the world.

Today, Blockstream is the leading Bitcoin company, providing cutting-edge infrastructure solutions for enterprises, institutions, and individual Bitcoin users.

We develop industry-leading Bitcoin self-custody solutions, Bitcoin-based financial products, second-layer scaling technologies, and enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure.

Blockstream is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to build and operate secure, resilient infrastructure across our global Bitcoin products and internal platforms.

You will be a hands-on owner of Kubernetes, GCP, Terraform, GitOps, observability, and stateful production services. You will strengthen follow-the-sun operations during APAC hours, coordinate reliable handoffs with Europe, and turn operational incidents into durable automation, runbooks, and reliability improvements.

What You’ll Be Doing (Key Responsibilities)

• Own production reliability during APAC operating hours, including alert triage, incident coordination, mitigation, communication, and cross-region handoffs
• After onboarding and shadowing, participate in a shared primary/secondary on-call rotation with documented backup and escalation paths
• Build and operate GCP/GKE and hybrid Kubernetes infrastructure using Terraform, Atlantis, FluxCD, Helm, and Kustomize
• Ship reviewed, observable, and reversible production changes through GitLab CI/CD and GitOps workflows
• Build monitoring and alerting with Prometheus/Mimir, Grafana, Alertmanager, and Grafana IRM; improve alert quality, SLOs, runbooks, and post-incident actions
• Operate stateful services and recovery mechanisms, including PostgreSQL/CloudNativePG, WAL backups, Redis, Kafka, persistent volumes, and capacity tuning
• Manage IAM, Workload Identity, secrets, artifact registries, DNS, TLS, ingress, load balancers, and network policies
• Automate repetitive operations using Python, Go, Bash, or similar tools
• Review infrastructure changes and collaborate asynchronously with engineers across APAC, Europe, and North America

What We Look For In You (Required Qualifications)

• Typically five or more years of production experience in DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, or infrastructure operations, or equivalent demonstrated experience
• Strong Kubernetes and cloud-platform experience; production GCP/GKE experience is preferred
• Strong Terraform/IaC, GitOps, and CI/CD fundamentals
• Solid Linux, containers, networking, DNS/TLS, IAM, and secrets-management knowledge.
• Experience monitoring and responding to incidents involving distributed or stateful services
• Practical scripting and automation skills
• Clear written and spoken English, with strong documentation and asynchronous handoff habits
• Ability to work the published APAC schedule and participate in the defined on-call rotation

Nice To Haves (Preferred Qualifications)

• FluxCD, Helm, Kustomize, Atlantis, or GitLab CI
• Prometheus, Mimir, Grafana, Grafana IRM, Loki, or Alertmanager
• CloudNativePG, Barman/WAL recovery, Redis, Kafka, or GCS
• Bitcoin, Elements/Liquid, electrs, Lightning, exchange-market-data, or other high-availability financial infrastructure
• Hybrid/on-premises Kubernetes or security-sensitive infrastructure experience
