We combine OSS and proprietary technologies to offer middleware, digital asset management, and custody solutions. Our platform lets customers build enterprise use cases which integrate with decentralized ecosystems and digital assets — either hosted in our SaaS or deployed in their own clouds.

Responsibilities

  • Maintain and expand our global fleet of Kubernetes clusters across multiple cloud providers supporting our development pipelines and SaaS infrastructure.
  • Develop core microservices + Kubernetes operators that secure, manage, and scale customer workloads.
  • Integrate advanced cloud networking and storage features for large-scale decentralized networks and high-volume, big-data transaction indexing.
  • Improve CI workflows + CLI tools automating our software lifecycle for fast, reliable delivery.
  • Build test suites, metrics, and alerts to keep systems healthy and customers satisfied.
  • Continuously improve architecture for performance, reliability, and efficiency - guided by customer needs, compliance controls, and costs.
  • Prototype agentic AI systems to help us further automate our software development and operations.
Requirements
  • Strong communication with team members, stakeholders, and customers.
  • Ability to identify and address key engineering and architectural decisions.
  • Flexible approach to work, including participation in on-call rotations.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related technical field.
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years working in cloud architecture on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes, containers, and Linux in cloud environments.
  • Familiarity with continuous testing and cloud-native monitoring.
Preferred qualifications
  • Experience creating cloud SaaS or internal PaaS solutions on Kubernetes or equivalent platforms - leveraging Infra-as-Code tools such as Terraform, Crossplane, and GitOps.
  • Knowledge of virtual machines, software-defined networking (eBPF), and Linux filesystems and storage (LVM).
  • Regularly uses Go/Python/TypeScript to automate operations and develop backend services.
  • Growing AI fluency: comfortable using prompt-driven tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Copilot; excited to leverage LLMs/agents for automating workflows, tasks, and operations.
  • Built alerts and dashboards with PromQL/LogQL in Grafana, Loki, and Prometheus.
  • Skilled with modern build tools (npm, Maven, Gradle, make, uv) and efficient multi-stage Docker builds.
