Role

Who you are

Comfortable developing software. Writing software is a big part of the job, as we write lots of tools to automate processes and monitor deployments
Solid understanding of Linux fundamentals, such as processes and permissions, along with an understanding of containers (Docker) and cloud deployments
Experience troubleshooting, monitoring and debugging cloud-native applications and distributed systems
Ability to handle shared operational and periodic on-call duties
1+ years of experience supporting critical production environments. Work in financial and crypto markets is a plus
Predictable and reliable availability

What the job involves

Provide front-line response to incidents and outages, such as unavailable price feeds, or website downtime
Develop automation tools to provision and manage our infrastructure, including cloud services and Kubernetes clusters
We currently use Terraform to manage our infrastructure, but we’re not married to it and may use different tools in the future. Some of our tools are written in Python and others in Go
Design and implement operational plans to achieve high availability guarantees for our price feeds and web services
Build redundant service deployments, monitoring solutions, dashboards, and alerting tools to ensure that critical services are running continuously
Measure and monitor application metrics (availability, latency, etc.) to understand the health of the system
Work with developers to add metrics and logging to their applications in order to facilitate Grafana dashboards and alerts. Develop logging practices and libraries to standardize metric reporting and alerting across multiple programming languages
Support services on development and production environments, from before launch through launch. Benchmark application resource consumption to allocate capacity

Our take

As the adoption of decentralised finance expands, the ecosystem needs access to good and timely real-world data in order to operate successfully, but it can be difficult for applications to access this data. Pyth Network publishes financial data on-chain for use in DeFi applications, including real-time crypto prices, FX, and blockchain equities.

Pyth Network's oracle is the largest in the Solana ecosystem, providing data from the outside world to on-chain applications, and all its price feeds are freely accessible to the public. The company is competitive due to the extent of its network, which includes over 50 of the largest exchanges, traders and market makers in crypto and traditional finance, providing data to Pyth that is not easily obtainable from alternate sources.

Pyth Netork has made several partnerships with high-profile players in the crypto space towards securing itself as a leading provider of data on-chain. As well as the Solana mainnet, Pyth Network’s price feed was made available on the BNB chain, with the company focusing on scaling to publish in other spaces such as the Aptos mainnet.
