About us
Chainstack powers global blockchain applications across fintech, DeFi, wallets, custodians, analytics, and everything in between. Teams cut time-to-market, cost, and risk with one platform for nodes in the cloud, offered through preferred service providers, or self-hosted. Standardized node management puts reliability on autopilot and keeps performance predictable, giving operators control and transparency while developers get a consistent way to build and scale.
About the role
We are on the hunt for a dedicated Infrastructure Engineer who will play a pivotal role in our innovative technology stack, ensuring that all user-oriented services and other Chainstack production systems operate seamlessly. The primary duties of the Infrastructure Engineer will revolve around incident management and the creation of top-tier technical solutions, positioning them for success while simultaneously expanding their experience with a broad range of cloud providers. As a crucial component of Chainstack, we require an individual who can lead our pursuit of near-flawless reliability and service quality across all our offerings.
Responsibilities
• Maintain and continuously improve the reliability and scalability of our services daily 2.5-hour on-call and 1 paid weekend on-call per month
• Develop and manage complex hybrid infrastructure (primarily multi-cloud Kubernetes clusters) with an infrastructure-as-code approach
• Manage incidents and participate in on-call rotation
• Improve monitoring and alerting of our platform
• Actively look for opportunities to improve the availability and performance of the system by applying the learnings from monitoring and observation.
• Actively work on solutions to reduce workload by automating repetitive processes
• Plan, design, and execute solutions to reach specific goals agreed upon within the team
• Identify system parts that do not scale, provide immediate workaround measures, and drive long-term resolution.
• Improve documentation all around, explaining the why, not stopping with the what
• Know a domain well and radiate that knowledge to other team members
Requirements
• Experience in operating mission-critical services and being responsible for reliability/uptime/SLA
• Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification
• Americas time zone
• Production experience on containers and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, Nomad, etc)
• Infrastructure automation tools (Helm, Terraform, Ansible, etc)
• Monitoring solutions (Grafana, Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, BetterUptime, etc.)
• Public cloud provider experience (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)
• Programming skills in Python and/or Go
• RDBMS experience
• Think about systems - edge cases, failure modes, behaviours, specific implementations
• Proficient in Linux and the shell
• Have an enthusiastic, go-for-it attitude. When you see something broken, you cannot help but fix it
• Have the urge to document all the things so you do not need to learn the same thing twice
• An exceptional intellectual drive to go deeper down the blockchain rabbit hole
What we offer
•
Competitive salary in USD - Fair, transparent compensation based on experience and impact.
•
Stock options - Share in Chainstack's growth and long-term success.
• AI-first environment - Use AI to reduce repetitive work and focus on judgment and shipping.
•
Cutting-edge tech stack - Work with modern infrastructure and stay close to Web3 innovation.
•
Flat structure, no bureaucracy - Take ownership, move fast, and make decisions with real impact.
•
Flexible schedule - Work when you are most productive and maintain balance.
