Role

Who you are

At least 5 years in a Senior Systems Administration, Datacenter Operations, or similar role, with a deep understanding of Linux/Unix systems and private and public cloud technologies
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
Experience configuring standalone and managed SQL and NoSQL database technologies (Postgres, ScyllaDB) is an asset
Proficiency in automation and configuration management tools (CI/CD, Ansible, Terraform, Consul), observability tools (Elk, grafana, victoria metrics), and in programming languages such as Python, Go, or JavaScript. Familiarity with containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes
A proactive mindset with a hands-on approach to problem-solving, capable of innovating under pressure and committed to reducing risks and technical debt
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams and with various stakeholders

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.
