Job Description
Technical Operations Engineer managing Kubernetes infrastructure for Quicknode's blockchain projects. Responsibilities include automating processes, debugging, and improving operational performance.
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.
- Health insurance
- 401(k) matching
- Paid time off
- Flexible work hours
- Professional development opportunities
