Senior DevOps Engineer
The Opportunity
As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will build, automate, and scale the global infrastructure that powers Validation Cloud’s Node API, Enterprise Staking, and Data x AI products. You’ll design resilient multi-region systems, optimize our delivery and deployment pipelines, and ensure ultra-low-latency performance across a rapidly expanding platform. This role gives you the opportunity to explore new tooling, architect innovative infrastructure patterns, and improve customer experience by diving deep into both blockchain protocols and high-performance cloud systems.
The platform you build—and the nodes, validators, and data pipelines running on it—directly support the success of Validation Cloud’s #1-ranked Node API, institutional staking platform, and next-generation Data x AI infrastructure, enabling customers to access and derive value from blockchain networks at unmatched speed and scale. Our engineers work cross-functionally and prioritize open knowledge-sharing, fostering collaboration and allowing each person to specialize based on their interests. We value diverse skills and backgrounds, believing they strengthen our team and lead to more innovative solutions.

Ensure data security through compliance with standards such as SOC2.
Support recruitment, training, and mentorship of other engineers.
Participate in and support the on-call rotation to ensure uptime and operational success.
About You
6+ years of senior-level DevOps experience, ideally with a strong background in systems administration and bare metal environments.
Proficiency in Go or similar languages.
Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and monitoring tools such as DataDog.
Prior infrastructure and product experience in Web3
Strong understanding of network protocols and technologies, including DNS, TCP/IP, VPN, and related tools.
Experience with AWS or other cloud environments.
BA/BS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
