Role
Who you are
- Minimum 5 years of experience in Systems Administration, Datacenter Operations, or Infrastructure Engineering, with deep expertise in Linux/Unix systems
- Proven success designing and managing hybrid cloud and traditional infrastructure platforms at scale (bare-metal, virtualized, and cloud-native)
- Hands-on experience with automation, configuration management, and CI/CD tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Consul, and Jenkins
- Proficiency with observability and monitoring platforms (Grafana, ELK, VictoriaMetrics, DataDog)
- Programming experience in one or more languages such as Python, Go, or JavaScript
- Strong understanding of infrastructure architecture principles — scalability, redundancy, fault tolerance, and cost optimization
- Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and networking fundamentals across cloud and datacenter environments
- A proactive, analytical mindset and the ability to deliver under pressure while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and reliability
- Excellent communication and documentation skills to facilitate alignment across cross-functional engineering teams
What the job involves
- As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Quicknode, you’ll play a pivotal role in architecting, developing, and implementing our next-generation infrastructure platforms across both private and public clouds
- This role focuses on building robust, scalable systems that go beyond traditional cloud deployments — developing hybrid environments that integrate bare-metal, virtualization, and orchestration technologies
- You’ll drive automation, standardization, and operational excellence across Quicknode’s infrastructure ecosystem, ensuring performance, reliability, and scalability as we expand our Web3 infrastructure footprint globally
- Research, architect, and deploy complex infrastructure systems across bare-metal servers, hypervisors, orchestrators, virtual machines, and containerized environments
- Design and implement automation using Infrastructure-as-Code and Configuration Management principles (Terraform, Ansible, Consul) to ensure reproducibility, speed, and consistency in infrastructure deployment
- Establish and maintain infrastructure standards, documentation, and architecture diagrams to support scale, reliability, and compliance across environments
- Partner with Technical Operations, CloudOps, and Platform teams to ensure smooth integration of systems, improve deployment efficiency, and enhance observability
- Optimize resource allocation and infrastructure cost efficiency while maintaining performance and uptime goals
- Continuously improve resilience and scalability through proactive capacity planning, disaster recovery testing, and infrastructure modernization initiatives
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 are 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.
