About the role
We’re hiring an SRE Lead to own end-to-end production reliability for a multi-region platform serving high-load RPC traffic across 120+ blockchains. You’ll lead the blockchain nodes reliability team, responsible for scalability, stability, and cost-efficient infrastructure — from gateways and orchestration (Nomad & Kubernetes) to nodes and observability.
This is a hybrid SRE leadership role: driving SLOs, incidents, postmortems, and capacity planning while staying hands-on with clusters and internal tooling. You’ll work closely with Backend, DevOps, and Support teams, and own the on-call system, incident processes, and continuous reliability improvements to keep performance high and customer trust strong.
Responsibilities
People & Process
- Lead and grow the SRE team: hiring, onboarding, 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development.
- Own SRE operating cadence: prioritization, planning, execution, and visibility of reliability work.
- Maintain high standards for production readiness: runbooks, operational checklists, change management, and quality gates.
Reliability & Operations
- Own production reliability end-to-end across gateways, clusters, and blockchain node fleets.
- Define and evolve SLIs/SLOs for uptime, response time, RPS, and time-to-resolve; partner with engineering teams to meet targets.
- Own incident management standards: alerting strategy, escalation, incident coordination, and communications.
- Run and improve postmortems: ensure follow-ups are executed and reliability debt is reduced over time.
- Lead capacity planning and performance work across regions and chains; balance reliability, speed, and cost.
Technical Leadership
- Lead design reviews and set engineering standards for reliability, scalability, and operational excellence.
- Drive architecture decisions across Nomad + Kubernetes environments, gateways, and observability stack.
- Build and evolve internal tooling that improves reliability and operational efficiency (automation, health systems, diagnostics, self-service).
Qualifications
- 3+ years in SRE / infrastructure / production engineering, including 1+ year leading people
- Strong Linux, networking, and production incident debugging skills
- Experience running and scaling distributed, multi-region, high-load systems
- Hands-on with orchestration (Nomad and/or Kubernetes) and modern gateways/proxies
- Solid observability practices (metrics, logs, traces, alerting, incident response)
- Using AI agents to improve operational efficiency and reliability automation
- Strong communication and ability to lead technical decisions end to end
Nice to have:
- Web3 / RPC infrastructure and blockchain node operations
- HashiCorp stack (Nomad, Consul, Vault), Prometheus ecosystem
- Terraform / IaC, capacity & cost modeling, DDoS and abuse protection
- Building internal platforms: self-service tools, runbooks, reliability automation
