What the job involves
- As a 0x Platform Engineer, your mission is to ensure our suite of products remains performant, reliable, and scalable while streamlining the developer experience across the organization
- You will own critical infrastructure components, automate workflows that eliminate manual toil, and design systems that support low-latency, high-availability workloads. Your work will be highly data-driven, focusing on profiling, benchmarking, and optimizing existing systems to deliver the greatest impact
- This role comes with a high degree of ownership, giving you the freedom to identify and implement forward-thinking improvements to 0x’s infrastructure, while collaborating closely with teams across the company
- Ensure uptime, reliability, and resilience across 0x’s core products and services
- Own and improve our observability stack (Grafana, Loki, Tempo, VictoriaMetrics), driving efficiency and actionable insights
- Design and implement resilient systems for low-latency, high-availability workloads
- Automate engineering workflows including onboarding/offboarding, service provisioning, and infrastructure migrations
- Manage and upgrade cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes platforms while ensuring scalability and high availability

- Collaborate across application, data, and infrastructure teams to debug issues, reduce latency, and drive cross-team automation
Our take
0x had its beginnings as a decentralized crypto exchange before its founders noticed a problem - while the apps built to facilitate crypto trading were functional, the user experience was usually terrible. 0x changed to become a decentralized exchange protocol instead, and provides a suite of APIs and tools so developers can build decentralized apps capable of competing with the likes of PayPal or Stripe for ease of use and functionality.
0x's product has wide appeal in the Web3 space and has grown a strong customer base including the likes of Coinbase, Robinhood and Polygon, and has a trading volume exceeding $125 billion. Having raised a large amount of capital in a 2022 funding round, it is focusing on expanding its team as well as its product range. While the crypto world is currently subject to intense volatility, 0x is enabling businesses to build apps and products that make the market more navigable. This will go a long way towards improving trust and stability in the sector.
