Role
Who you are
- You’re a hands-on Technical Lead who thrives on making software teams faster, safer, and happier through excellent developer experience
- You bring deep expertise in GitHub, Jenkins, Flux, Helm, and Kubernetes—especially EKS—and you’re comfortable operating across both AWS and on-prem datacenter environments
- You lead through strong technical judgment, pragmatic standards, clear communication, and the ability to build consensus around paved paths teams actually adopt
- 7+ years in platform/devops/SRE roles, including 2+ years leading or mentoring engineers
- Track record of delivering platform capabilities used by many teams
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management; able to write crisp design docs and present trade-offs
- Leadership: Proven technical leadership for platform/DevEx/infra teams; mentorship and cross-team influence
- Core tech (hands-on):
- Environments: Significant experience in AWS and On-Prem (physical datacenters/servers/virtualization platforms)
- Software delivery: CI/CD design, artifact/version strategies, trunk-based development, environment promotion
- SRE fundamentals: Reliability, capacity planning, incident playbooks, post-incident improvement
Desirable
- Kubernetes variants: Experience with GKE, Rancher, or other managed/self-hosted distros
- Migrations:
- Cloud breadth: Exposure to Azure and Google Cloud
- Tooling depth: Policy engines (OPA/Gatekeeper/Kyverno), service mesh, progressive delivery (Argo Rollouts/Flagger), artifact registries, secrets management (e.g., AWS Secrets Manager/HashiCorp Vault)
- Infrastructure as Code: Terraform/Crossplane and configuration management
- Programming: Proficiency in one or more languages used for platform automation (e.g., Go, Python, TypeScript)
What the job involves
- Lead & deliver: Set technical direction, break down roadmaps, and lead engineers through design, implementation, and rollout of DevEx initiatives
- Own CI/CD: Standardize build/test/release workflows using Jenkins and GitHub (Actions/Apps), with reusable pipelines, shared libraries, and policy gates
- Run GitOps at scale: Operate and evolve Flux-based GitOps for environment promotion, rollback, and drift detection across multiple clusters
- Package & deploy: Define and maintain Helm chart standards, release processes, and documentation for service teams
- Kubernetes platform: Design guardrails, multi-tenant patterns, and golden templates on EKS (and support for GKE/Rancher/other distros where applicable)
- Hybrid environments: Build consistent developer workflows spanning AWS and on-premdatacenters/virtualization platforms; ensure connectivity, secrets, and artifact flows work end-to-end
- Observability & reliability: Establish SLOs for platform services; integrate logs/metrics/traces, progressive delivery, and automated rollback
- Security & compliance: Embed security scanning, SBOMs, and policy-as-code into pipelines and cluster admission
- Enablement: Produce high-quality docs, examples, CLI/templates, and run office hours to uplevel teams
- Stakeholder management: Partner with Security, SRE, and product teams; communicate trade-offs and progress to engineering leadership
Our take
Galaxy was founded to bring institutions into the blockchain revolution, envisioning a society where values and ownership flow as freely as information. It has captured the massive growth in the space over the past few years, offering its clients a range of financial solutions spanning the digital assets ecosystem.
The company operates five synergistic business lines: Trading, Asset Management, Principal Investments, Investment Banking, and Mining. Although it exists within a highly volatile industry, Galaxy emerged stronger following the crypto reset, and has focussed in on building an optimal team structure and strategy.
In 2024, Galaxy announced that it had entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corporation for a bought deal offering, raising gross proceeds of approximately $100 million. This move bolstered the company’s financial position, with proceeds going towards working capital and general corporate purposes.
