Role

Who you are

+4–10 years of experience operating complex production systems. Ideally spanning both traditional infrastructure and crypto-native environments
Strong command of Linux, networking, and system internals. You understand how to scale, secure, and debug systems from the OS to the application layer
Proficient with modern infrastructure tooling (Terraform, Ansible, Helm, Prometheus, Grafana) and comfortable designing CI/CD pipelines for secure distributed systems
Familiarity with scripting (Python, Bash) for operational workflows. Ideally skilled in Go or Rust for building automation and integration tooling
You thrive in async, remote-first teams, communicate with clarity, and proactively improve shared systems. You’re deeply curious about MEV, Ethereum, and the frontier of decentralized compute

What the job involves

Flashbots is hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer with a platform-first mindset to fortify the infrastructure powering our Block Builders
You’ll work at the intersection of distributed systems, blockchain infrastructure, and trusted compute thus ensuring that our production environment remains scalable, resilient, and secure
Contribute, support and or lead the deployment, operation, and reliability of the block builder platform from Kubernetes clusters to bare-metal environments
Maintain and scale distributed infrastructure spanning L1 and L2 environments, ensuring consistent performance under high-throughput and latency-sensitive workloads
Drive observability, incident response, and performance optimization through modern SRE and DevOps practices
Build automation and tooling to simplify operations, improve developer experience, and reduce toil across our systems
Design CI/CD workflows for high-assurance environments, including TEE-based systems and blockchain node infrastructure
Contribute to the design of reproducible, secure environments across multiple clouds and hosting providers
Partner with backend, research, and protocol teams to support rollup infrastructure, MEV systems, and next-generation execution environments
Participate in the envisioning, proofing, and deployment of new L2 infrastructure components and TEE-integrated products
Lead root-cause investigations, reliability reviews, and postmortems for production systems
Contribute to open-source tooling and documentation that powers the Ethereum ecosystem

Our take

Flashbots is a research and development organization that is mitigating the miner-extractable value (MEV) problem, striving for a transparent and fair ecosystem for MEV extraction to reinforce the Ethereum blockchain ideals.

Flashbots, while connecting searchers and mining pools, stands out for not using private contracts and arrangements. Instead, it is an open participation system where any searcher or mining pool can join. This is considered more beneficial to the network, rather than a few private entities dominating because it still allows for competition.

The company is making notable strides, having raised $60M to fund the launch of Suave, an ambitious new project aimed at transforming the way blockchain operators earn value across different networks. With this, the company is becoming a genuinely exciting disrupter to an ever-changing industry. While things are still in motion, the company has ramped up its hiring efforts, signalling an exciting phase of growth and innovation ahead.
