Role

Who you are

5+ years of experience in site reliability engineering, infrastructure engineering, or database operations at scale
Strong Linux systems expertise (kernel tuning, filesystems, networking, IO)
Hands-on experience operating and tuning distributed and high-performance databases (e.g., Scylla, Postgres, Redis/Dragonfly, ClickHouse, or similar)
Deep understanding of database internals (Replication, compaction, caching, memory management)
Strong skills in automation and infrastructure-as-code and configuration management (Terraform, Ansible, or similar)

A proactive mindset with a hands-on approach to problem-solving, capable of innovating under pressure and committed to reducing risks and technical debt
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams and with various stakeholders

What the job involves

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll be responsible for operating and optimizing a diverse set of databases, including Scylla, PostgreSQL, Dragonfly, and ClickHouse, while building the automation and tooling to manage them at scale
This role blends deep Linux and systems expertise with knowledge of database internals and distributed systems
You’ll ensure the reliability, performance, and scalability of our database platforms, while driving adoption of new technologies to meet future needs
Design, deploy, and manage production-ready clusters across multiple database technologies (Scylla, Postgres, Dragonfly, ClickHouse, etc.)
Build automation, tooling, and infrastructure-as-code to streamline lifecycle management of databases, including provisioning, scaling, backup/restore, upgrades, and failover
Tune Linux systems, filesystems, and storage to optimize database performance and reliability
Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve performance bottlenecks at the system, storage, and database layers
Research and evaluate emerging database technologies to support future workloads and advise on their adoption
Collaborate with Engineering teams to ensure database deployments align with application requirements while maintaining reliability and efficiency
Develop and maintain documentation for operational practices, playbooks, and database infrastructure standards

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 is 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.
