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.
Youโll 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 practices 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 feeding 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.
Youโre 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.
Youโre patient when dealing with others. Youโre 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?
Significant 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?ย
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 over $200 billion in a few years. Impressive as its growth has been, its current market size isn't even a rounding error on the over $400 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 solutionโthe first layer-one protocol built specifically for mainstream DeFiโand 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.
If this job sounds like it was made for you, then please apply directly via the link or if you donโt have an up-to-date CV to apply with, please contactย [email protected]ย for more information.
Alternatively, if you feel like you donโt match all of the requirements, we would love you to still apply anyway. We understand that confidence gaps and imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting incredible candidates and we wouldnโt want this to prevent us from meeting you; especially as we are big advocates of helping people learn & grow. This is also another reason we do not advertise salaries, we want to keep it as even a playing field as possible!ย
Here at RDX Works, we believe in being salary agnostic. This means that we pay salaries based on your expertise and what you can add to the business, aligning with London market rates; not based on your location or the economy of your country of residence.

# Lead Product Engineer - Core Experience\nSegment is building the future of how companies manage their constantly increasing volume of customer data. We help our customers collect data from a variety of sources, combine and understand that data, and ultimately act on it to give their users a better experience.\nImagine you want to answer a question that is core to your business โ maybe you changed the pricing on your product and you want to understand if thatโs driving revenue or creating churn and customer confusion. In order to properly answer that question, you would need data from your payment processor, your CRM, and telemetry data from your application. In the past, business teams have had to wait for developers to build ETL pipelines to move data from one place to another. This is painful, time-consuming, and doesnโt keep up with the pace of the customer needs. Segment allows you to get all of this data in one place, automatically, and start using it immediately rather than spending time building data pipelines.\n## Who we are:\nWe're a small distributed team of full-stack engineers based in San Francisco, Vancouver and the world ๐ who love to ship high-quality code.\nFrom collecting data through [analytics.js](https://github.com/segmentio/analytics.js), to building powerful tools for data governance, to implementing algorithms that can handle complex billing scenarios at scale, to optimizing Sign Up conversion, the Product Engineering team is focused on creating fantastic user experiences.\nWe're looking for talented engineers that are passionate about building world-class experiences that delight our customers.\n## How we work:\n- ๐ We enjoy building UIs in React so much that we created our own internal components library.\n- ๐ ๏ธ We believe in using the best tool for the job. We write customer facing features using React, NodeJS and GraphQL. Our write-heavy traffic services are written with Go and leverage multiple data storage solutions.\n- ๐ข We deploy our code multiple times per day. We "semver" everything :)\n- ๐ค We love conferences. (An engineer spoke in 4 different countries last year!)\n- ๐ฏ We love open source: https://open.segment.com\n- ๐ Weโre proud of the code we write, but weโre not dogmatic about methodologies or techniques. We believe building the "right thing" is more important than building things "right".\n\n## Who we're looking for:\nYou can turn complex business requirements into working software that our customers love to use.\n- You're proud of the code you write, but you're also pragmatic.\n- You know when it is time to refactor, and when it's time to ship.\n- You're focused, driven and can get challenging projects across the finish line.\n- You're empathetic, patient and love to help your teammates grow.\n- You have experience running apps in production and take software engineering practices seriously. You write meaningful tests and understand the value of great logging, proper monitoring and error tracking.\n\n## A few projects you could be working on:\n- We collaborated closely with our BizOps and Design team to rebuild all parts of our billing experience, from the customerโs first visit, to building a pricing simulator tool, to implementing algorithms that can handle complex billing scenarios at our scale.\n- Weโre building an [open-source version](https://github.com/segmentio/evergreen) of our UI library that saves our engineers multiple hours of work every week. Think pixel-perfect implementations by default ๐ฑ ๐จ.\n- We used a [HLL](http://antirez.com/news/75) to scale an analytics tool that handles thousands of requests / sec.\n- We're building powerful tools that help our customers protect the integrity of their data, and the decisions they make with it.\n\n## Requirements:\n- You can write both client side and server side JavaScript using the latest APIs and language features.\n- You have some familiarity with Golang or are excited to learn it.\n- Minimum of 3 years of industry experience in engineering or some cool projects on GitHub you think we'll love to check out.\n- You provide a deep understanding of the complexities involved in writing large single-page applications.\n- You show evidence of exposure to architectural patterns of high-scale web application (e.g., well-designed APIs, high volume data pipelines, efficient algorithms.)\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. \n\nPlease mention the words **SWITCH TURTLE AUTO** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xMjU=).
