Company mission
To build the crypto-native cloud platform that will scale Ethereum.
Role
Who you are
- 5–7+ years of infrastructure or SRE experience, including hands-on experience scaling production systems
- Genuine curiosity about web3 and interest in understanding the products and systems you're supporting
- Strong foundation in system design, distributed systems, and security best practices
- Experience running large-scale Kubernetes infrastructure (100–1,000+ nodes) on a public cloud (AWS, GCP)
- Experience designing and supporting highly available and scalable distributed systems
- Strong debugging skills across the stack — networking, performance, memory, and service behavior
- Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills
Desirable
- Own problems end-to-end and are comfortable navigating ambiguity with limited context
- Are always looking to improve systems rather than simply maintain them, you automate the toil and push toward better reliability, cost, and developer experience
- Can embed with a product team, understand their context quickly, and help them move faster without sacrificing stability
- Like problem solving in a dynamic, collaborative environment with modern cloud tooling
What the job involves
- Conduit's infrastructure team builds systems and tools to enable the Conduit Platform in a reliable, secure, performant, and cost-effective manner
- As a senior member of a small, embedded infra team, you'll be instrumental in designing, building, and scaling infrastructure capabilities — and in enabling other engineering teams to ship faster and more reliably
- This is a high-ownership, high-autonomy role where you'll have significant influence over how Conduit's infrastructure evolves
- Embed with engineering teams to drive infrastructure design decisions and help bring new products and services from prototype to production
- Define and build internal tooling and processes to enable teams to deploy, migrate, and operate services more reliably and efficiently
- Own large-scope infrastructure projects end-to-end including service migrations, ingress architecture, and internal orchestration and control plane design
- Lead design and implementation of solutions to improve availability, reliability, and security of Conduit services
- Drive sustainable incident response, on-call practices, and retrospectives with a bias toward automation and systemic fixes over manual toil
- Participate in on-call rotation
Our take
Crypto-native infrastructure platform Conduit is designed to empower and accelerate builders in crypto. It enables them to scale applications by allowing them to spin up to a production-grade rollup (which is built on the OP Stack) in a fraction of the time it currently takes.
The company’s collaboration with the Optimism Foundation enables Conduit’s managed services to provide next-gen scalability by automatically updating code to the OP stack. This makes it easier for rollups launched on its platform to become part of the Superchain, without compromising on security.
Whether it be DeFi protocols, gaming companies, NFT platforms, or other on-chain providers, Conduit’s flexibility enables them to unlock new use cases and improve user experiences that would have been made impossible by traditional congestion issues. This approach has seen the company raise strong funding to help it accelerate development of its platform features.
