If you are passionate about building optimised reliable cloud infrastructure and have a strong background in DevOps, we would love to hear from you.

    • Deploy and configure Blockchain Validators, ensuring seamless integration with our infrastructure.

    • Utilize Ansible for configuration management and automation of routine tasks.

    • Develop and enhance automation scripts to streamline deployment processes.



  • Monitoring and Reporting:

Qualifications:



  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field (feel free to apply if you feel qualified enough regardless of your degree).

Location:


This is a remote position and most of our team is located in Europe. For reliability reasons (and to make sure we can all sleep well at night) the ideal candidate is located in a non-European timezone. However, feel free to apply regardless of your location/timezone, as we are prioritizing technical and cultural fit over location. A non-European timezone is just a bonus for us.
