Status SNT is hiring a Remote Blockchain Infrastructure Engineer
\nAbout Status\nStatus is building the tools and infrastructure for the advancement of a secure, private, and open web3. \nWith the high level goals of preserving the right to privacy, mitigating the risk of censorship, and promoting economic trade in a transparent, open manner, Status is building a community where anyone is welcome to join and contribute.\nAs an organization, Status seeks to push the web3 ecosystem forward through research, creation of developer tools, and support of the open source community. \nAs a product, Status is an open source, Ethereum-based app that gives users the power to chat, transact, and access a revolutionary world of Apps on the decentralized web. But Status is also building foundational infrastructure for the whole Ethereum ecosystem, including the Nimbus ETH 1.0 and 2.0 clients, the Keycard hardware wallet, and the Waku messaging protocol, the p2p communication layer for Web3.\nAs a team, Status has been completely distributed since inception. Our team is currently 200+ core contributors strong, and welcomes a growing number of community members from all walks of life, scattered all around the globe. \nWe care deeply about open source, and our organizational structure has minimal hierarchy and no fixed work hours. We believe in working with a high degree of autonomy while supporting the organization's priorities.\n\n\n\n\nThe role\n\nDevOps is a buzzword, but it's also generic enough to encompass the breadth of tasks required in supporting development teams. There are many ways to make the lives of developers easier, and everyone has their own best way, which also means every team has their own way. There is no perfect way to make everyone happy with the same thing.\n\nSupporting developers involves debugging obscure bash scripts from years ago that nobody remembers. It means biting on a piece of wood and using data formats turned programming languages like YAML to configure CI jobs. It means tracking down minute differences between releases of packages and libraries causing unexpected crashes. It means rewriting the same Dockerfile for the 5th time to allow a project to use one more obscure library. Or tracking down absurd race conditions of multi-threaded tests running in parallel on the same host. Or pulling your hair out at a bug only to realize it works fine after the CI worker host is restarted.\n\nBut fundamentally it means wrestling it all into submission and making it run smoothly... at least for as long as you're there.\n\nIf you have the guts to fight against entropy and deterioration of the reality we inhabit, then you just might also be crazy enough to enjoy the struggle while it lasts, and appreciate the eventual fruits of our labour, if you value privacy, freedom, and transparency. You might even make some money, and learn a bit from all the exceptional engineers working here.\n\n \n\nWho you are\n\nYou have strong Linux Fundamentals:\n\n\n* Distros and package managers\n\n* Good understanding of process management\n\n\n\n\nYou have programming experience:\n\n\n* At least a few languages and showing the ability to learn\n\n* Bash as a minimum; Python would be helpful \n\n\n\n\nYou have experience in Continuous Integration:\n\n\n* Jenkins CI - Pipelines are written in Groovy\n\n* GitHub Actions - PR builds, mostly\n\n\n\n\nYou have experience in Security:\n\n\n* Good understanding of OpenSSH\n\n* GnuPG for encryption of secrets and backups\n\n\n\n\nDistributed Systems:\n\n\n* Experience running Ethereum nodes\n\n* Knowledge of Layer 2 scaling solutions\n\n\n\n\n \n\nCompensation\n\nWe are happy to pay in any mix of fiat/crypto.\n\n \n\nHiring process\n\n* Interview with the Talent team\n\n* Paid task\n\n* Technical interview with Head of Infra\n\n\n\n[The steps may change along the way if we see it makes sense to adapt the interview stages, so please consider the above as a guideline]\n\n\n\n \n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n

๐ Please reference you found the job on Remote OK, this helps us get more companies to post here, thanks!
When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site. Remote OK accepts no liability or responsibility as a consequence of any reliance upon information on there (external sites) or here.
