Zusammenfassung

Range is seeking a senior infrastructure and operations engineer to own and evolve platform reliability. You will design, operate, and maintain a Kubernetes-based infrastructure, build reliable monitoring and alerting pipelines, and ensure system stability under real-world load and failure conditions.

This hands-on role requires deep experience running production systems at scale, focusing on predictability and stability.

Qualifikationen

• Senior-level experience operating production infrastructure.
• Hands-on Kubernetes cluster internals, networking, storage, and security.
• Strong networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, load balancing.
• Debug distributed systems and network-related issues.
• Experience optimizing CDN/edge setups (Cloudflare).
• Experience building monitoring/observability systems.
• Experience with metrics, logs, traces, alerts pipelines.
• Experience designing reliable CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong Linux fundamentals.
• Infrastructure as code and automation exposure.
• Ability to debug issues across the stack.
• Experience handling incidents and postmortems.

Aufgaben

• Design, deploy, and maintain production Kubernetes clusters.
• Own cluster reliability, upgrades, security, and performance.
• Build and operate monitoring, logging, and alerting pipelines.
• Ensure full-stack observability across infrastructure and services.
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines that are fast, reproducible, and safe.
• Improve deployment strategies (rollouts, canaries, rollbacks).
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration.
• Investigate and resolve production incidents.
• Improve system resilience, redundancy, and recovery strategies.
• Define SLOs/SLIs and track reliability targets.
• Optimize and maintain Cloudflare setup (caching, routing, security, edge behavior).
• Work closely with engineering teams to improve operational practices.
• Identify and remove single points of failure.

Jobbeschreibung

We’re looking for a senior infrastructure and operations engineer to own and evolve our platform reliability. You’ll design, operate, and maintain our Kubernetes-based infrastructure, build reliable monitoring and alerting pipelines, and ensure our systems remain stable under real-world load and failure conditions. This is a hands‑on role for someone with deep experience running production systems at scale and who focuses on making infrastructure predictable and stable. You’ll work across Kubernetes, networking, CI/CD, Cloudflare, and observability to create a platform engineers can trust.

What You’ll Do

• Design, deploy, and maintain production Kubernetes clusters.
• Own cluster reliability, upgrades, security, and performance.
• Build and operate monitoring, logging, and alerting pipelines.
• Ensure full-stack observability across infrastructure and services.
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines that are fast, reproducible, and safe.
• Improve deployment strategies (rollouts, canaries, rollbacks).
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration.
• Investigate and resolve production incidents.
• Improve system resilience, redundancy, and recovery strategies.
• Define SLOs/SLIs and track reliability targets.
• Optimize and maintain our Cloudflare setup (caching, routing, security, edge behavior).
• Work closely with engineering teams to improve operational practices.
• Identify and remove single points of failure.

What We’re Looking For

Must-have

• Senior-level experience operating production infrastructure.
• Deep, hands‑on expertise with Kubernetes (cluster internals, networking, storage, security).
• Strong networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, routing, DNS, TLS, load balancing).
• Experience debugging distributed systems and network‑related issues.
• Experience optimizing CDN and edge setups, including Cloudflare.
• Strong experience building monitoring and observability systems.
• Experience with metrics, logs, traces, and alerting pipelines.
• Experience designing reliable CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong Linux fundamentals.
• Experience with infrastructure as code and automation.
• Ability to debug issues across the entire stack.
• Experience handling incidents and conducting postmortems.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with multi‑cluster or multi‑region setups.
• Experience with high‑throughput or data‑heavy systems.
• Experience with Elasticsearch or large‑scale data infrastructure.
• Experience with service meshes.
• Experience with cost optimization and capacity planning.
• Experience in regulated or reliability‑focused environments.

How You Work

• You assume infrastructure will fail and design accordingly.
• You prioritize reliability, visibility, and recoverability.
• You build systems that engineers trust in production.
• You automate carefully and deliberately.
• You are calm and methodical during incidents.
• You focus on long‑term stability over short‑term fixes.
• You document and standardize important processes.

Example Problems You Might Work On

• Hardening Kubernetes clusters for high availability and safe upgrades.
• Debugging network latency or connectivity issues across services.
• Optimizing Cloudflare caching, routing, and edge security rules.
• Building monitoring pipelines that provide reliable signals.
• Designing alerting that is actionable and low‑noise.
• Improving deployment reliability and rollback safety.
• Removing single points of failure in production systems.
• Ensuring observability across all services and data pipelines.

Why Join Range

• Join one of the fastest‑growing sectors in Web3 as stablecoins reach mass adoption.
• Competitive compensation with meaningful equity upside.
• Strong potential for growth and leadership opportunities.
• Remote‑first culture with bi‑yearly international off‑sites.
• Opportunities for global conference travel and ecosystem engagement.
• Health and wellness benefits.
