Company mission
To empower developers to build apps in Web3 by making it easy for anyone to launch performant, customizable layer-two blockchains.
Role
Who you are
- Have 4+ years of engineering experience
- Have experience writing backend services in Go or Typescript
- Have experience with cloud technologies, especially Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Helm
- Hands-on experience with cloud / infrastructure providers, including AWS, Vercel, and Cloudflare
- Keen eye for security, solid understanding of threat modeling and secure system architecture
- Are confident with performance optimization, identifying bottlenecks and scalability concerns
- Have familiarity with observability tools like Grafana or Datadog
Desirable
- Are familiar with how blockchains like Ethereum or Bitcoin work under the hood
- Are up-to-date with Ethereum scaling solutions such as sidechains or rollups
- Have an understanding of cryptography primitives, such as hash functions or digital signatures
- Have built Ethereum “dapps” before
What the job involves
- We’re looking for an incredible senior engineer to help us build the future of blockchain scalability
- This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who is already passionate about tackling problems in blockchain scalability, or looking to break into the blockchain engineering space
- If you’re looking to work in a fast-paced, high-impact team and help shape the direction of our product and company, this position is for you
- We’re building software that makes it easy for the most innovative blockchain applications to launch their own ultra-performant blockchains (rollups), enabling applications to own their ecosystem, scale to millions of users, and provide a superior user experience to their users
- Own significant components of Caldera's core infrastructure
- Architect and develop backend systems to ensure the smooth operation of Caldera chains
- Improve our DevOps pipeline, which allows Caldera chains to be deployed reliably and securely
- Increase the reliability of our infrastructure by continuously improving the observability stack
- Maintain and enhance the security posture of our cloud infrastructure
- AWS Security:
- Develop, deploy, and maintain security measures within AWS environments to safeguard against various security threats
- Monitor, assess, and react to security incidents and vulnerabilities within AWS
- Adopt and enforce AWS security best practices, including IAM policy management, VPC setups, and network protection
- Conduct security evaluations and audits on AWS infrastructure, providing recommendations for enhancements
- Kubernetes Security:
- Enhance and protect Kubernetes clusters to mitigate vulnerabilities and attacks
- Implement network policies, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and security contexts to solidify security measures in Kubernetes
Our take
As the interest in blockchain technology rises, the growth in network usage and on-chain apps can cause network congestion or even outages, lowering performance for users. Caldera (formerly Constellation Labs) makes it easy to launch performant, customizable blockchain rollups and is developing the world's rollup-as-a-service platform.
Just as the internet is run on millions of servers worldwide, Web3 will outgrow its current set of blockchains. This means thousands of projects will opt to launch their dedicated blockchains so they can own their ecosystem, scale without limit, and provide superior user experiences. Caldera enables developers to “roll up” their transactions into a single piece of data to be submitted to the mainnet, then, those transactions are removed from the mainnet, creating space and increasing processing speeds.
Recently, Caldera completed a significant funding round, marking a significant milestone for the company. With this new capital, it plans to expand its team and further develop its Metalayer initiative for a promising future in the rapidly growing blockchain space.
