Company mission
To revolutionise lending with an open, efficient, and resilient platform.
Role
Who you are
- Thrives in a fast‑changing, remote‑first environment. Prioritizes simple, shippable solutions over complexity
- Operates with first‑principles thinking. Takes end‑to‑end responsibility from design to steady‑state operations
- Writes crisp RFCs, runbooks, and incident reviews. Communicates trade‑offs and risk in plain language
- Optimizes for collective outcomes. Welcomes healthy debate, aligns, and commits
- Genuine interest in on‑chain systems and the surrounding ecosystem. Learns quickly from production feedback
- 10+ years building and scaling production infrastructure from startup to enterprise scale
- Proven leadership of initiatives that improved developer velocity and system reliability
- Deep expertise in event‑driven architectures and high‑performance data systems
- Strong cross‑functional influence without formal authority
- Experience with our tech stack is a plus:
- AWS: EKS, Aurora/DynamoDB, IAM/KMS
- Kubernetes: Helm, Karpenter, Docker/containerization
- GitOps: ArgoCD
- Observability: Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry
- Infrastructure-as-code: Terraform
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Docker, artifact management
- API: GraphQL, REST, Websockets
- Security: Vault/AWS Secrets Manager, Auth0/OIDC
- Blockchain Infra: SQD, Ponder, RPC Node providers (e.g., Alchemy)
What the job involves
- Enable Morpho to ship reliable, high‑scale products faster by building and operating a resilient, secure, and cost‑efficient infrastructure platform that empowers engineers and keeps tier‑1 services within agreed SLOs
- Architect multichain production infrastructure with Kubernetes and AWS to achieve ≥99.95% uptime while lowering unit costs via autoscaling and right‑sizing
- Build self‑service platform capabilities with CI/CD and GitOps to cut p50 deploy time from hours to minutes and enable safe, autonomous rollbacks
- Design and operate high‑throughput data systems with event‑driven pipelines to process billions of on‑chain events with sub‑minute latency
- Implement end‑to‑end observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry to enable proactive alerting and rapid incident triage
- Establish zero‑trust IAM and secrets management with fine‑grained access controls and automated credential rotation to raise the security baseline
- Lead post‑mortems and drive RFC‑based architecture decisions to improve reliability, developer experience, and time to recovery across teams
- Mentor engineers across product and protocol teams to spread best practices in distributed systems, performance, and reliability engineering
- In your first 30 days
- Understand Morpho’s services, deployment patterns, on‑chain integrations, and incident history. Set clear SLOs and a roadmap for platform improvements
- Ship quick wins in CI/CD or observability that remove friction for engineers and increase visibility on tier‑1 services
- By Month 4–6
- Deliver a self‑service deployment pipeline with progressive delivery and automated rollbacks. MTTR trending down. Tier‑1 services fully instrumented with actionable alerts
- Implement zero‑trust IAM foundations with auditable access and safe secrets handling. Document and socialize runbooks for high‑impact incidents
- By Month 12
- Demonstrate multi‑region readiness for a tier‑1 surface meeting RTO/RPO targets. Platform unit cost reduced by 20–30% while maintaining ≥99.9% SLO compliance
- Trusted partner to hiring managers and tech leads, influencing roadmaps and unblocking hard infrastructure and data challenges
Our take
Morpho Labs’ Morpho Blue is a blockchain layer for protocols and apps to be built upon. With the ability to externalise risk management, it allows blockchain creators to integrate the layer into their own risk and compliance systems. Ultimately, Morpho is a lending protocol built upon open-source algorithms.
Originally founded as an optimisation layer for interest rate improvements, it has now evolved into a base layer for builders of crypto lending applications. With the intention of making DeFi protocols more accessible and easy to use through a user-controlled risk assessment platform, the company has attracted significant interest from big-hitting investors such as Coinbase Ventures and Variant. Morpho intends to use these funds to accelerate its mission to make financial infrastructure a public good.
