Platform Engineer

About the position

As a part of the Platform team, you will be responsible for building and maintaining software platforms and tools to support our engineers and our ecosystem. Our team is small and we enable others to self-serve everything from cloud infrastructure using Pulumi, Helm and Terraform to Github Actions, or our internal ecosystem platforms like the API Gateway. It is our mission to provide reliable, scalable infrastructure to enable our teams and the ecosystem. Performance and reliability are critical, we are bastions of responsible development. We also embed with other teams and support reliability and performance based on need and interest. Relevant industry experience is important (Software Engineer, Platform Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, Production Engineer, or similar role), but ultimately less so than your demonstrated abilities and passion. This is an opportunity for someone who is passionate about building platforms for others and supporting a world class engineering team and our external engineering community. You will be working on fast-paced, rapidly growing, high-profile projects with a significant opportunity for industry-level impact on emerging blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies.
