About the Role
Role details below.
Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end launch of new blockchain networks—from testnet to mainnet
- Design and implement deployment architectures for validators, full nodes, RPCs, and supporting services
- Ensure all new networks meet production readiness standards—monitoring, alerting, backups, failover, and security
- Collaborate with protocol teams to understand network-specific requirements, risks, and failure modes
- Create repeatable launch patterns and runbooks to reduce time-to-market for new networks
- Build and operate infrastructure across cloud and bare-metal environments
- Improve automation and standardisation of deployments using Terraform, Helm, and internal tooling
- Contribute to the internal platform by aligning launches with existing Kubernetes, observability, and delivery standards
- Implement high-availability and fault-tolerant setups for validator infrastructure
- Continuously improve SLOs, SLIs, and alerting for newly launched networks
- Ensure all services are fully observable—metrics, logs, and traces
- Define and implement alerts that are actionable and low-noise
- Participate in on-call rotations and incident response
- Lead or contribute to post-incident reviews, focusing on systemic improvements
- Proactively identify and fix reliability risks before they impact production
- Apply security best practices to all deployments—secrets management, access control, and network isolation
- Ensure compliance with internal standards and contribute to SOC 2-aligned practices
- Support secure key management practices for validator infrastructure
- Work closely with Infrastructure, Core Networks, and Security teams
- Take ownership of deliverables—from design to production
- Contribute to documentation, runbooks, and knowledge sharing
- Support and mentor more junior engineers when needed
