Role

Who you are

This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who is already passionate about tackling problems in blockchain scalability, or looking to break into the blockchain engineering space.
Have 4+ years of engineering experience
Have experience writing distributed systems in Go
Have experience with cloud technologies, especially Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Helm
Hands-on experience with cloud / infrastructure providers, including AWS, Vercel, and Cloudflare
Are confident with performance optimization, identifying bottlenecks and scalability concerns
Have familiarity with observability tools like Grafana or Datadog

Desirable

Are familiar with how blockchains like Ethereum or Bitcoin work under the hood
Are up-to-date with Ethereum scaling solutions such as sidechains or rollups
Have an understanding of cryptography primitives, such as hash functions or digital signatures
Have built Ethereum “dapps” before

What the job involves

We’re looking for an incredible senior engineer to help us build the future of blockchain scalability
Architect and develop backend systems to ensure the smooth operation of Caldera chains
Improve our DevOps pipeline, which allows Caldera chains to be deployed reliably and securely
Increase the reliability of our infrastructure by continuously improving the observability stack
Build highly reliable and performant RPC infrastructure designed to handle billions of requests per day

Our take

As the interest in blockchain technology rises, the growth in network usage and on-chain apps can cause network congestion or even outages, lowering performance for users. Caldera (formerly Constellation Labs) makes it easy to launch performant, customizable blockchain rollups and is developing the world's rollup-as-a-service platform.

Just as the internet is run on millions of servers worldwide, Web3 will outgrow its current set of blockchains. This means thousands of projects will opt to launch their dedicated blockchains so they can own their ecosystem, scale without limit, and provide superior user experiences. Caldera enables developers to “roll up” their transactions into a single piece of data to be submitted to the mainnet, then, those transactions are removed from the mainnet, creating space and increasing processing speeds.

Recently, Caldera completed a significant funding round, marking a significant milestone for the company. With this new capital, it plans to expand its team and further develop its Metalayer initiative for a promising future in the rapidly growing blockchain space.
