Who You Are

We're looking for someone with a genuine engineering mindset - you're deeply curious about how things work under the hood and passionate about building robust, elegant solutions. You take ownership of your work from conception to production, treating infrastructure as a craft. You have an innate desire to build and improve systems, not just maintain them. You're the type of person who investigates root causes rather than applying quick fixes, and you get satisfaction from solving complex distributed systems challenges. You thrive in environments where you can dive deep into technical problems while maintaining a holistic view of the infrastructure landscape.

Responsibilities:

Infrastructure Management & Operations
- Implement and manage container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, Nomad, Talos) for the Inco testnet and mainnet deployments
- Ensure infrastructure scalability, reliability, and security through implementation of industry best practices
- Manage hybrid cloud and on-premises infrastructure with focus on performance optimization
- Deploy and maintain blockchain nodes (Ethereum, Solana, etc.) ensuring high availability and performance
Monitoring & Observability
- Build comprehensive monitoring and alerting systems using Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki
- Design and implement distributed tracing and logging infrastructure
- Create custom dashboards and metrics for network performance monitoring
- Establish SLIs/SLOs and implement proactive alerting strategies
Automation & Infrastructure as Code
- Develop and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform and Ansible
- Implement GitOps workflows using ArgoCD or similar tools for continuous deployment
- Build secure CI/CD pipelines with automated security scanning and compliance checks
Security and Compliance:
- Implement defense-in-depth security strategies including network segmentation, secrets management (Vault), and vulnerability scanning
- Manage security baselines, conduct regular audits, and coordinate penetration testing
- Prepare and maintain infrastructure for compliance audits (SOC2, ISO 27001)
- Configure VPNs, firewalls, IDS/IPS, and implement zero-trust architecture
System Administration & Platform Engineering
- Configure and optimize distributed systems for high-performance computing workloads
- Network engineering including routing, load balancing, firewall configuration, and network segmentation
- Manage distributed systems, bare metal servers, and virtualization platforms
Documentation & Collaboration
- Create comprehensive documentation for infrastructure, security procedures, and incident response playbooks
- Collaborate with protocol engineering and development teams on secure SDLC practices
- Contribute to security awareness and training programs
