Job Description

Technical Operations Engineer optimizing blockchain infrastructure for Quicknode's global platform. Involves maintaining high performance data infrastructure and automating processes across various regions.

Responsibilities:

  • Launch & upgrade chains: standups, hard-forks, snapshots, pruning, clean rollbacks.
  • Automate everything: modules, golden images, CI/CD, zero-touch deploys across regions.
  • Run K8s at scale: safe rollouts, HPA/VS/ingress tuning, capacity & cost plans that hold up.
  • Own incidents: lead SEV0–2, publish RCAs, and ship the change that prevents a replay.
  • Build signal, not noise: SLOs/error budgets, useful dashboards, alerts that only page when users hurt.
  • Code where it counts: write/extend tools (snapshots, replay/load, state sync checks); occasionally patch client bugs that bite production and upstream when it’s worth it.

Requirements:

  • Linux + Kubernetes: you debug real production—networking, storage, rollouts, perf.
  • IaC (Terraform/Helm/Ansible): you ship repeatable infra, not snowflakes.
  • Go or Python (plus Bash): you automate noise away and build small, sharp tools.
  • Blockchain operations: JSON-RPC internals; running/tuning RPC/validator nodes; log analysis.
  • Observability: SLOs/error budgets, Prometheus/Grafana instrumentation that people use.
  • Networking: strong fundamentals (DNS/TLS/LB); you can reason about anycast/BGP when needed.

Benefits:

  • Compensation & benefits: region-aligned, bonus-eligible and shared early; no bait-and-switch.
  • Flexible working arrangements.
  • Growth opportunities to learn protocol internals and distributed systems.
