Company mission
QuickNode's mission is to help blockchain ecosystems scale, by providing accessible core infrastructure.
Role
Who you are
- 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
- Clear production ownership: blast radius understood, rollback plan ready
- SLO thinking with before/after on alert noise, latency, or MTTR
- Real RPC/validator ops experience (beyond a laptop demo)
- Tooling/code that made ops better (Go/Python, IaC modules, or a small upstream fix)
- You explain complex failures simply, and leave systems simpler
- Production experience with one or more of EVM (Geth/Erigon/Nethermind/Besu), Cosmos SDK/CometBFT, Solana (Agave/QUIC), or Substrate
- Multi‑cloud experience plus capacity & cost modeling that survived contact with reality
What the job involves
- Make mainnet boring
- We launch chains, keep them fast, and fix the stuff that shouldn’t break
- You’ll run K8s at scale, ship IaC, lead incidents, and write the tooling that keeps production sane
- If you can occasionally patch a client or upstream a small fix, even better
- 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
- New Hire Onboarding: Week 1-12
- Week 1–2: ship a small IaC change + a dashboard someone actually uses
- Week 3–6: own 2–3 chains/subsystems, kill a flaky alert, close a recurring papercut
- Week 7–12: lead one upgrade/cutover with clean rollback; publish an RCA and the code/infrastructure change that prevents recurrence
Application process
- Steps may vary slightly by region/seniority; we keep it lean
- 30‑min intro + context with Talent Acquisition
- 60‑min technical deep dive with the Hiring Manager (incidents you led, K8s/IaC trade‑offs, tooling you built)
- 60‑min hands‑on with Team Members (pair on a small plan/code review or targeted tool fix)
- 30-min meet a Founder
Our take
By way of its API and analytics platform, QuickNode makes it faster and easier for developers to build and scale blockchain apps across a growing number of chains including Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The 2017-founded startup counts some major companies amongst its clientele – PayPal, Twitter, OpenSea, Coinbase, and Adobe, as well as popular NFT platform Rarible. Considering that infrastructure & protocols is the most dominant segment of the rapidly growing Blockchain technology market, QuickNode’s high profile clientele puts it in a position of great strength.
The company is targeting an expansion into yet more chains, and its acquisition of NFT Analytics platform Icy Tools suggests that it’s also very keen to broaden its product offering. Recent funding will enable the company to accelerate global expansion and further empower the people building the groundwork for a decentralized future.
