Production Engineer, Mysten Labs

• If you thrive on turning chaos into uptime and love automating your way out of incidents, this is your shot to shape the infrastructure for the next billion users on Sui
• 5+ years hands-on Production Engineering/SRE experience, owning infrastructure as code, containerized workloads and orchestration (Kubernetes), observability (metrics/logs/traces), deployments, and reliability at scale
• Built/maintained infrastructure code and tooling with Pulumi or equivalents; deployed on GCP/AWS; automated releases/monitoring pipelines
• Systems programming fluency (Rust preferred—Mysten's stack; or Go) + scripting (Python/Bash/Shell) for debugging distributed systems
• Proven runbook discipline, incident leadership, and a bias for automation in high-availability environments
• Thrives independently spotting issues, driving fixes autonomously, and partnering with eng/product teams—no handholding needed
• (We encourage strong candidates with adjacent scalable infrastructure experience to apply—even if you don't check every box.)

Desirable

• This is why at Mysten Labs, we are creating foundational infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of decentralized protocols based on blockchain technologies
• Production Engineers at Mysten Labs are the custodians of our decentralized infrastructure—keeping the Sui blockchain, Walrus storage network, and related protocols humming under massive traffic, adversarial attacks, or global-scale events
• This is hands-on work in a fast-scaling decentralized environment: hybrid cloud/bare-metal infrastructure, Grafana/Mimir/Loki observability stack, and other cutting-edge integrations
• You'll own the four PE pillars—Infrastructure, Observability, Release Engineering, and Reliability—while embedding operational rigor into internal services as well as the decentralized Sui Stack (including protocols like Walrus and SEAL)
• Expect autonomy to hunt down bottlenecks, automate toil out of existence, and ship fixes that prevent outages at decentralized infrastructure scale
• Partner with core engineers on productionizing Rust-based systems, support internal teams building new products, and tackle Web3-unique challenges
• Scale hybrid cloud + bare-metal infrastructure for Sui validators and Walrus storage nodes, optimizing for cost, latency, and resilience against attacks
• Supercharge observability with our Grafana stack (Mimir, Loki)—building dashboards, alerts, and tracing to pinpoint issues in real-time during peak loads
• Evolve deployment pipelines beyond GitHub Actions: design next-gen CI/CD for high-velocity releases, incorporating IaC (e.g., Pulumi) and Kubernetes orchestration
• Drive reliability wins—measure/optimize performance, author runbooks, automate incident response, and harden systems for decentralized threats like DDoS or chain halts
• Support Engineering partners (Greece/Europe focus) collaborating cross-functionally to unblock product velocity

• Employment is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check, which may include verification of employment history, education credentials, criminal history, and other relevant information
