What is the job?
As a DevOps Engineer at RDX Works, you will lovingly maintain our (your!) virtual infrastructure, while supporting the needs of our different stakeholders, which range from a collection of community node runners to developers and SDETs.
You will begin in familiar territory, performing care and feeding for dozens of virtual machines and Kubernetes clusters while gathering performance data and tuning for the CPU/memory/disk sweet spot which best balances performance and cost.
You’ll participate in the continuous improvement of our current monitoring and alerting system, so that we know when things are going awry and can take action.
After you have a handle on how to keep things running smoothly, as part of the DevOps team you will engage with members of the different developer teams and node runners, always devising best practises for running Radix nodes and other RDX applications on a variety of cloud platforms.
You will participate in our on-call rotation process, to ensure that someone from RDX is always available to investigate a disruption in service. You will respond to alerts and track them to resolution, while learning from incidents and feed suggestions back to our internal DevOps, SDET, and developer teams and improving our internal operational rulebook.
What are we looking for?
You have maintained production systems on virtual infrastructure, and you possess a healthy collection of war stories from past disasters.
You have a wealth of knowledge about Docker which you never get to use at parties.
You’re handy with an assortment of scripting languages, ideally Python or Bash.
You have a deep-seated need to automate things. The idea of doing a repeatable process manually is abhorrent to you.
You’re patient when dealing with others. You’re a good listener, and happy to be a teacher when needed.
You are a tenacious sleuth, able to persistently research and reason about difficult-to-reproduce problems until you have brought them to a satisfactory resolution.
What do you need?
Min 5 years experience in a DevOps role
Production experience with cloud providers such as AWS, GCP, and Azure (We use AWS)
Strong familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes
Familiar with agile processes
Experience working with observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana Stack
Hands on experience with a scripting language
Comfortable with at least one infrastructure-as-code tool, such as Ansible and Terraform
Comfortable configuring and managing at least one popular Linux distribution.
Things That Will Really Help You Stand Out
Proven history of managing clustered/distributed environments
Proven history of node running at scale for any blockchain/distributed ledger
Have experience with Kubernetes
Chaos engineering is not alien to you
Who are we?
At RDX Works, we're a team of like-minded thinkers who have long been convinced that we're living in the earliest stages of a global financial revolution. This revolution is being fuelled by decentralized finance (or DeFi for short), which is enabling an assortment of pioneering developers and entrepreneurs to re-invent almost every financial product that is currently traded and invested in traditional markets, without requiring central authorities or siloed infrastructure. DeFi has captured a great deal of attention and investment in the crypto-aware niche, growing assets under management from $1 billion to $40 billion in less than a year. Impressive as its growth has been, its current market size isn't even a rounding error on the over $111 trillion held in traditional finance. We're focused on what it will take to go from billions to trillions.
RDX went back to first principles to come up with the right technical solution—the first layer-one protocol built specifically for mainstream DeFi—and we have already tested out at over 1 million transactions per second. We're keenly aware that the need for an infinitely scalable platform is only one prerequisite among many for mass adoption, and we're also blazing new ground in the areas of purpose-built developer tools, user experiences, and regulatory integration.
We have forged a path deep into the future of what distributed ledger technology is going to look like and we need you to come and be part of the team that is making that happen right now.

**All roles with Chainlink Labs are globally remote based. We encourage you to apply regardless of your location.**\n\nThe infrastructure team enables Chainlink development and maintains services that support the health of the most widely-adopted oracle network in the world. As a Site Reliability Engineer, you will help us solve some of the unique challenges of blockchain oracle architecture and be primarily responsible for the Chainlink ecosystem's off-chain part.\n\nWe are distributed across time zones and continents, and we embrace remote work. In the Infrastructure team, we follow the infrastructure-as-code approach and practice GitOps. Our on-call rotation uses the follow-the-sun pattern: you will be on call some of the time, but there should not be any overnight shifts.\n\nWe all have different backgrounds and are determined to help you succeed no matter where you are or who you are. If you think you would do a great job at Chainlink, we are looking forward to speaking with you, even if you don't match 100% of the job requirements: those describe people we've usually had a great time working with, but they're not a tick-box exercise. \n\n**Your Impact**\n\n* Support monitoring services that watch over the entire Chainlink network. \n* Deploy and maintain various externally-facing services like reference Chainlink nodes used by developers and customers (including critical services such as Chainlink VRF).\n* Improve the reliability and observability of our internal infrastructure. \n* Provide our engineers with a reliable release pipeline and empower them to release and deploy Chainlink and adjacent tools extremely quickly.\n\n**Requirements**\n\n* 5+ years of relevant professional experience. You have a software engineering background or an operations background and have worked as an SRE (or in a very close position) before.\n* Experience with system architecture. You can create a design document for a cross-region load-balancing app with five microservices, a PostgreSQL cluster, a caching layer, and a Kafka queue—and then implement it on AWS.\n* Experience with CI/CD pipelines. You can troubleshoot an existing pipeline or build your own, and you've probably worked on both software delivery and cloud-based services deployment.\n* Experience with distributed systems and container orchestration. You have built or maintained complex Kubernetes clusters before.\n* Ability to read and write code. You can understand precisely why a recent code change led to degraded performance; you can write scripts and tools to automate routine tasks and eliminate toil.\n* Strong communication skills. You can give and receive constructive feedback, and you do not shy away from planning meetings and code reviews.\n\n**Preferred Qualifications**\n* Professional experience with Golang, TypeScript, or both. \n* Excitement for blockchain, Web 3.0, and similar decentralized technologies. \n* Experience running blockchain full node operator is a big plus. \n* Experience with Chainlink as a developer or a node operator is a big plus.\n* Comfort working with network protocols, proxies, and load balancers.\n* Experience with information security and DevSecOps.\n* Experience working remotely in a distributed team.\n* We are giving slight preference to candidates who live in the UTC to UTC+8 range due to our on-call schedule for this particular opening.\n\n**Our Stack**\n\nSome of the tools and services we use daily or almost daily are:\n\nAWS; Terraform/Terragrunt; Kubernetes, Calico and ArgoCD; Prometheus and Grafana; GitHub Actions; Packer\n\nWe expect you to be comfortable with most of those tools and very proficient in several of them.\n\n**About Us**\n\nChainlink is the industry standard oracle network for connecting smart contracts to the real world. With Chainlink, developers can build hybrid smart contracts that combine on-chain code with an extensive collection of secure off-chain services powered by Decentralized Oracle Networks. Managed by a global, decentralized community of hundreds of thousands of people, Chainlink is introducing a fairer model for contracts. Its network currently secures billions of dollars in value for smart contracts across the decentralized finance (DeFi), insurance, and gaming ecosystems, among others. The full vision of the Chainlink Network can be found in the [Chainlink 2.0 whitepaper](https://research.chain.link/whitepaper-v2.pdf). Chainlink is trusted by hundreds of organizations—from global enterprises to projects at the forefront of the blockchain economy—to deliver definitive truth via secure, reliable data. \n\nThis role is location agnostic anywhere in the world, but we ask that you overlap some working hours with Eastern Standard Time (EST).\n\nWe are a fully distributed team and have the tools and benefits to support you in your remote work environment.\n\nChainlink Labs is an Equal Opportunity Employer.\n \n\nPlease mention the words **FROG CROWD ANGLE** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4yNTA=).
