Overview

We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to lead the evolution of our cloud infrastructure and deployment ecosystems.

This role acts as the foundation of our engineering reliability, bridging the gap between high-performance blockchain development and robust, secure cloud operations. You will be responsible for architecting scalable AWS environments, automating mission-critical CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring the absolute integrity of our security and observability frameworks.

What You’ll Do

Cloud Infrastructure & Architecture

• Design, provision, and maintain OpenAssets’ AWS infrastructure: including EC2, ECS/Fargate, Lambda, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, CloudFront, SQS, ElastiCache, and CloudWatch.
• Architect for high availability, fault tolerance, and cost efficiency across production and non-production environments.
• Manage networking, security groups, subnets, load balancers, and access controls to ensure a secure and well-segmented cloud environment.
• Scale infrastructure dynamically to handle platform growth, partner onboarding, and peak load events.
• Deploy, configure, and manage blockchain node infrastructure supporting on-chain integrations and smart contract interactions.

CI/CD & Automation

• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and/or AWS CodeBuild for frontend, backend, and smart contract deployments.
• Manage infrastructure as code using Terraform (or OpenTofu) and/or CloudFormation to ensure reproducible, auditable environments.
• Automate build, test, and deployment processes to minimize manual effort and reduce release risk.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts in Python and Bash for operational and provisioning workflows.
• Administer and scale Kubernetes clusters (EKS) for deploying services and blockchain node infrastructure.

Security & Compliance

• Implement and enforce security best practices across infrastructure: TLS, VPNs, IAM roles, private key management, secrets management, and patch management.
• Work with the CISO to conduct infrastructure security audits and maintain compliance with data handling, uptime, and audit logging requirements.
• Manage secrets and environment configuration securely using AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault.
• Ensure encryption at rest and in transit across all critical data stores and communication channels.
• Apply knowledge of blockchain security, including consensus mechanisms, smart contract interactions, and Layer 2 infrastructure, to harden on-chain components.

Observability & Incident Response

• Set up and maintain monitoring, alerting, and dashboards for key platform metrics using CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, or equivalent.
• Establish structured logging and distributed tracing practices (OpenTelemetry or similar) across services.
• Lead incident response for production issues, triaging, communicating, resolving, and writing blameless postmortems.
• Design, implement, and regularly test backup and disaster recovery strategies to minimize data loss and downtime.

Collaboration & Enablement

• Support engineering teams in troubleshooting environment-specific issues across development, staging, and production.
• Document infrastructure architecture, runbooks, and operational procedures — keeping them current and actionable.
• Train developers on deployment tooling, CI/CD workflows, and on-call processes.
• Evaluate and introduce new tooling and practices to improve DevOps maturity across the organization.

Qualifications & Experience

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure engineering.
• Deep hands-on expertise with AWS: EC2, ECS/Fargate, Lambda, RDS, S3, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, SQS, CloudFront, and ElastiCache.
• Strong experience with infrastructure as code using Terraform, OpenTofu, and/or CloudFormation.
• Proficiency with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes / EKS).
• Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, AWS CodeBuild, GitLab CI, or similar.
• Solid Linux systems administration and scripting skills (Bash, Python).
• Strong understanding of cloud networking and security: TLS, VPCs, security groups, IAM, private key management, secrets management.
• Experience with monitoring and observability tooling: CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, or similar).
• Working knowledge of blockchain technologies: consensus mechanisms, smart contract infrastructure, or Layer 2 scaling solutions.
• Calm, systematic problem-solving approach to production incidents and outages.
• Strong communication skills, able to explain infrastructure concerns clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Fluid in English

Nice to Have

• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer Professional, or equivalent).
• Experience deploying and operating blockchain node infrastructure (Ethereum, Polygon, or similar).
• Background in fintech, capital markets, payments, or regulated infrastructure environments.
• Experience with security frameworks and compliance standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
• Multi-tenant SaaS infrastructure experience.
• Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS, BullMQ).
• Cost optimization practices: reserved instances, Savings Plans, right-sizing.
• Infrastructure as code with Pulumi or CDK.
• Open-source contributions or technical writing.

We are committed to providing equal opportunity for qualified applicants to contract positions, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status. This is a contract opportunity, not a direct employment role.
