Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of relevant professional experience. You have a software engineering background or an operations background and have worked as an SRE (or in a very close position) before
- Experience with system architecture. You can create a design document for a cross region load balancing app with five microservices, a PostgreSQL cluster, a caching layer, and a Kafka queue—and then implement it on AWS
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines. You can troubleshoot an existing pipeline or build your own, and you've probably worked on both software delivery and cloud based services deployment
- Experience with distributed systems and container orchestration. You have built or maintained complex Kubernetes. clusters before
- Ability to read and write code. You can understand precisely why a recent code change led to degraded performance; you can write scripts and tools to automate routine tasks and eliminate toil
- Strong communication skills. You can give and receive constructive feedback, and you do not shy away from planning meetings and code reviews
- Excitement for blockchain, Web 3.0, and similar decentralized technologies
- Experience with information security and DevSecOps
- Experience working remotely in a distributed team
What the job involves
- Support monitoring services that watch over the entire MachineFi Infra
- Deploy and maintain various externally facing services
- Improve the reliability and observability of our internal infrastructure
- Provide our engineers with a reliable release pipeline and empower them to release and deploy code extremely quickly
- Use your on call shift to prevent incidents from ever happening
- Make monitoring and alerting alert on symptoms and not on outages
- Debug production issues across services and levels of the stack
Our take
Advancements in data connectivity, robotics, AI and virtual reality have led to major changes to the world of work, with driverless cars able to autonomously carry passengers, security systems that can identify people in a crowd by sight and surgeons and skilled technicians able to carry out tasks at any distance. Deloitte estimates that 30% of the world's workforce will be replaced by machines in the next 20 years, which leads to the question - who owns these machines, their data, and their share of the emerging $12.6 trillion machine economy?
MachineFi Lab is an attempt to answer this question with "the people". By leveraging blockchain technology and applying it to the Internet of Things (IoT) space, it is creating an infrastructure suite which allows users to create apps and deploy devices on a decentralised machine network. By incentivising individuals and businesses to participate it provides a more efficient movement of data by bypassing centralised data stores and offers an extra layer of security to users, who remain in control of their information.
MachineFi's solution is already being used in some applications, for instance, some cameras as well as Pebble's supply chain management solution. It has attracted funding for its vision in a Series A funding round led by Samsung Next, which will be used to develop its platform and expand into new verticals, for instance in geolocation services. As IoT becomes an ever more present feature of life, infrastructural projects such as MachineFi may well prove key in helping to drive adoption and avoid some of the worst effects of centralised control of the industry.
