Senior Infrastructure Engineer, (Devops)

We’re looking for an incredible senior engineer to help us build the future of blockchain scalability.

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. If you’re looking to work in a fast-paced, high-impact team and help shape the direction of our product and company, this position is for you.

We’re backed by some of the best investors in the valley and offer competitive pay, an equity grant in the company, and full benefits.

About Caldera

Caldera enables dynamic, scalable blockchain experiences. Currently, dapps that are deployed to general-purpose blockchains compete with thousands of other applications for space on the network — this can lead to congestion and high fees or even network outages.

That’s where we come in. We’re building software that makes it easy for the most innovative blockchain applications to launch their own ultra-performant blockchains (rollups), enabling applications to own their ecosystem, scale to millions of users, and provide a superior user experience to their users.

We’re located in San Francisco and New York, and work in-person or remotely.

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, Devops at Caldera, you will:

  • Own significant components of Caldera's core infrastructure

  • 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

  • Maintain and enhance the security posture of our cloud infrastructure

    • AWS Security:

      • Develop, deploy, and maintain security measures within AWS environments to safeguard against various security threats.

      • Adopt and enforce AWS security best practices, including IAM policy management, VPC setups, and network protection.

    • Kubernetes Security:

      • Enhance and protect Kubernetes clusters to mitigate vulnerabilities and attacks.

      • Implement network policies, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and security contexts to solidify security measures in Kubernetes.

You might be a fit for this role if you...

  • Have 4+ years of engineering experience

  • Have experience writing backend services in Go or Typescript

  • Have experience with cloud technologies, especially Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Helm

  • Hands-on experience with cloud / infrastructure providers, including AWS, Vercel, and Cloudflare

  • Keen eye for security, solid understanding of threat modeling and secure system architecture

  • Are confident with performance optimization, identifying bottlenecks and scalability concerns

  • Have familiarity with observability tools like Grafana or Datadog

Bonus points if you...

  • 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

If in doubt, please apply! We will find a place for great candidates, even if you feel that you don’t check all of the boxes 😀

What We Do

It all started with a challenge. We were enthralled by blockchain technology and its potential to change everything on the internet, but saw that it was hampered by terrible performance. We recognized pretty early on that just attempting to make a single faster blockchain wasn’t the best solution. To truly reach web-scale on Ethereum, we would need to scale horizontally.

In 2022, we launched Caldera. With our platform, projects can deploy a rollup with a single click, without an engineering team. We take care of deployment, customization, ongoing maintenance, and security, so projects can focus on building their vision.

Today, Caldera is one of the fastest growing rollup ecosystems on Ethereum. We’ve empowered web3 teams to customize and launch over 60 high-performance rollups across a number of app categories, and projects have free reign to launch their rollup on Optimism, Arbitrum, ZKsync, and Polygon stacks.

At present, the Caldera ecosystem comprises 1.7 million unique wallets holding over $800 million in TVL, with more than 60 million completed transactions. Some notable chains in our ecosystem include Manta Pacific, inEVM by Injective, ApeChain, Treasure, Plume Network, Towns, Kinto, RARI Chain, and Zero Network by Zerion.
