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.
