SRE engineer
Job description
About the role
The team maintains infrastructure for institutional staking and yield aggregation across restaking and yield products. This role focuses on performance, security, and availability for global clients and their blockchain infrastructure.
Software engineers turn product ideas into working code. Engineers work in small teams, review each other's work, and ship in small batches. Most teams follow agile practices such as sprints and daily standups. Engineers also write tests, fix bugs, and improve performance. The field values clear communication as much as technical skill. Engineers spend part of every week on planning, code review, and debugging, not just writing new code. The ability to explain a technical decision in plain words separates strong engineers from the rest.
Key facts
What you'll do
Operational infrastructure for staking and yield is maintained to satisfy stated SLI, SLO, and SLA targets for clients.
Deployment and change automation for web2 and web3 infrastructure is enhanced and built from scratch using Ansible and related tools.
On-Call schedule participation fulfills operational responsibility for infrastructure availability and incident response.
Requirements
The posting states a bachelor's degree requirement. Expert-level Ansible is required because the majority of automation relies on this tool.
A decent level of Python or Go is required for infrastructure-related tasks, with experience in Go being a significant advantage.
Strong self-organization is demonstrated to achieve team goals while guidance from a team leader is provided.
Production environments use Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes (K8s), HAProxy, GitHub Actions, and PostgreSQL, GCP, Oracle Cloud.
A degree is required as stated in the source listing.
Practical notes
The role is fully remote within the Remote
Europe designation under a full-time indefinite-term consultancy agreement. The team operates across distributed locations while sharing a passion for decentralized finance.
Typical interview steps
Hiring for engineering roles usually starts with a recruiter screen, followed by one or two technical rounds. Candidates often solve a coding problem, discuss past projects, and answer system design questions. Some loops include a take-home task. Final rounds typically cover team fit and give candidates a chance to ask questions. Interviewers look for how you break down an unfamiliar problem, not just whether you reach the answer. Practicing a few problems aloud and reviewing your own past projects are the best preparation.
Good to know
Roles in this field commonly manage infrastructure at scale for blockchain operations.
Tools such as Ansible, Terraform, and Kubernetes are typical for infrastructure automation.
Performance metrics such as NRR and TVL are relevant indicators in staking and yield businesses.
Work often involves collaboration with exchanges, custodians, and wallet providers.
Continuous learning supports adapting to new blockchain networks and yield products.
Questions to ask
Worth asking in any interview: how the team measures success, who the role works with daily, what the onboarding looks like, and what the company is trying to achieve this year. Asking what past hires did well is a strong final question. Keep the list short and pick the questions that matter most to you.
Career growth
Engineering careers usually progress from individual contributor to senior, staff, and principal levels. Some engineers move into management and lead teams of five to twenty people. Others stay on the technical track. Growth follows demonstrated impact, not tenure alone. A typical engineering ladder has clear levels with defined expectations for scope, quality, and mentorship. Moving up usually requires owning outcomes end to end rather than completing assigned tickets.
