• Prototype new deployment patterns across validator and full-node topologies
• Design and run performance benchmarks and load tests to surface bottlenecks before they reach production
• Drive observability, alerting, and security across the stack
• Define best practices for node operators and provide ongoing support
• Develop tooling for internal and external use
• Participate in on-call rotation for production support

• Strong experience with a major cloud provider (AWS preferred)
• Comfortable with network setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting at the systems level

Why Work With Us

• Challenging problems — you will tackle deeply complex and technically demanding problems with autonomy and real impact
• Endless opportunity for impact — the EVM standard is ubiquitous, but existing EVM-compatible chains are slow and bandwidth-constrained; our core innovations offer developers and founders the best of both worlds — portability and performance — and are a game-changer for powering global on-chain finance
• The right team — you will be part of a world-class team that is exceptional and highly motivated
• Culture — we are a lean team working together to achieve very ambitious goals, united by a culture of collaboration, low ego, and high-quality output
• Strong ecosystem — our broader ecosystem has attracted support from leading investors, builders, and long-term contributors
