Overview
We are seeking a Senior Dev Ops Engineer to lead the evolution of our cloud infrastructure and deployment ecosystems. This role acts as the foundation of our engineering reliability, bridging the gap between high-performance blockchain development and robust, secure cloud operations. You will be responsible for architecting scalable AWS environments, automating mission-critical CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring the absolute integrity of our security and observability frameworks.
What You’ll Do
Cloud Infrastructure & Architecture
- Design, provision, and maintain Open Assets’ AWS infrastructure: including EC2, ECS/Fargate, Lambda, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, Cloud Front, SQS, Elasti Cache, and Cloud Watch.
- Architect for high availability, fault tolerance, and cost efficiency across production and non-production environments.
- Manage networking, security groups, subnets, load balancers, and access controls to ensure a secure and well-segmented cloud environment.
- Scale infrastructure dynamically to handle platform growth, partner onboarding, and peak load events.
- Deploy, configure, and manage blockchain node infrastructure supporting on-chain integrations and smart contract interactions.
CI/CD & Automation
- Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Git Hub Actions and/or AWS Code Build for frontend, backend, and smart contract deployments.
- Manage infrastructure as code using Terraform (or Open Tofu) and/or Cloud Formation to ensure reproducible, auditable environments.
- Automate build, test, and deployment processes to minimize manual effort and reduce release risk.
- Develop and maintain automation scripts in Python and Bash for operational and provisioning workflows.
- Administer and scale Kubernetes clusters (EKS) for deploying services and blockchain node infrastructure.
Security & Compliance
- Implement and enforce security best practices across infrastructure: TLS, VPNs, IAM roles, private key management, secrets management, and patch management.
- Work with the CISO to conduct infrastructure security audits and maintain compliance with data handling, uptime, and audit logging requirements.
- Manage secrets and environment configuration securely using AWS Secrets Manager or Hashi Corp Vault.
- Ensure encryption at rest and in transit across all critical data stores and communication channels.
- Apply knowledge of blockchain security, including consensus mechanisms, smart contract interactions, and Layer 2 infrastructure, to harden on-chain components.
Observability & Incident Response
- Set up and maintain monitoring, alerting, and dashboards for key platform metrics using Cloud Watch, Prometheus, Grafana, or equivalent.
- Establish structured logging and distributed tracing practices (Open Telemetry or similar) across services.
- Lead incident response for production issues, triaging, communicating, resolving, and writing blameless postmortems.
- Design, implement, and regularly test backup and disaster recovery strategies to minimize data loss and downtime.
Collaboration & Enablement
- Support engineering teams in troubleshooting environment-specific issues across development, staging, and production.
- Document infrastructure architecture, runbooks, and operational procedures — keeping them current and actionable.
- Train developers on deployment tooling, CI/CD workflows, and on-call processes.
- Evaluate and introduce new tooling and practices to improve Dev Ops maturity across the organization.
