Chia Network delivers enterprise-grade software platforms for asset tokenization, custody, and trading using infrastructure built on the Chia blockchain. The Senior Infrastructure & Platform Engineer will build and operate cloud and on-premises infrastructure, Kubernetes platforms, observability systems, CI/CD platforms, and automation while improving reliability, security, and scalability.
Responsibilities
- Operate and maintain Kubernetes clusters (EKS in AWS, k0s for on prem)
- Apply an automation-first mindset using tools such as Terraform, Helm, and Ansible, executed via GitHub Actions
- Participate in our on-call rotation and help improve reliability. Identify root causes and prevent issues from recurring
- Operate global colocation environments, including networking, storage, compute, and Proxmox virtualization
- Support and improve our CI/CD platform (GitHub Actions):
- Partner with teams on CI/CD integrations
- Maintain a repository of shared GitHub Actions
- Operate self-hosted runners
- Build and maintain tooling (primarily written in Go) that streamlines workflows and improves reliability
