- Experience deploying and managing hypervisors, bare-metal servers, and traditional infrastructure components
- In-depth knowledge of infrastructure and application availability, with considerations for scalability, high-availability, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, and cost analysis / optimizations

What the job involves
- As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in our rapid growth phase, taking charge of architecting, developing, and implementing core infrastructure platforms across a variety of private and public clouds, with a focus on the research, development, and deployment of traditional datacenter technologies
- The role requires strong analytical skills, and must be capable of designing and implementing complex infrastructure platforms on various infrastructure platforms (bare metal, hypervisors, orchestrators), emphasizing automation and effective documentation
- Based on proven DevOps practices, this opportunity empowers you to lead change at a massive scale, diving deeper than traditional cloud solutions like AWS and GCP, as you contribute to crafting a custom cloud solution tailored for web3
- Research, architect, and deploy complex infrastructure systems, including bare-metal servers, hypervisors, orchestrators, virtual machines, and containers
- Support the development of standards, processes, and policies related to the design and consumption of infrastructure technologies (network, compute, storage, database)
- Develop automation using Infrastructure as Code and Configuration Management principles to build, deploy, and configure infrastructure components in a consistent and reproducible manner
- Create comprehensive support documentation, and high-level-architecture diagrams
- Collaborate closely with Technical Operations and Support teams to facilitate seamless integration and continuous improvement
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.
