Aestus
MEV and Staking DevOps Engineer
Mission Statement
The additional yield that MEV provides has become a core part of staking returns, and the MEV-Boost architecture operates close to the core of the Ethereum protocol. The Aestus MEV relay was established by members of the Ethereum solo-staker community with one core mission: to improve economic decentralisation on Ethereum.
Aestus has been live on mainnet for 18 months and we are responsible for auctioning ~5% of Ethereum mainnet blocks. We’ve recently attracted community funding that provides us the opportunity to grow our team.
This is a competitive and dynamic environment where milliseconds matter. We are looking for a DevOps engineer whose primary responsibility will be to optimise our architecture with performance in mind. New ecosystem developments such as shared sequencing, and re-staking also present us with new opportunities - which you will have an essential role in exploring.
Summary of the Role
- You’ll be working in a small, friendly 3-4 person team with an opportunity to make your mark.
- Experiment with new technologies and make data-driven improvements to the performance, observability, and stability of our platform.
- Architect, configure and deploy global infrastructure on leading cloud platforms.
- Take responsibility for incidents and become a part of the on-call team.
- Engage in community discussions and contribute to the evolution of this ecosystem.
Qualifications
- A hacker mentality with substantial self-driven experience of linux sys admin, git, docker and k8s.
- Familiarity with common database technologies and networking protocols.
- Fluency in any of golang, python or rust.
- An understanding of the Ethereum staking and MEV ecosystem.
- A willing to get involved in novel technical challenges beyond a strict DevOps remit.
Benefits
- Remuneration dependent on skills and experience.
- Work from anywhere on a contract basis with flexible hours.
- Paid travel + expenses to Ethereum conferences and team meetups.
