The Role

Timewave is looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer or SRE to help scale the Valence protocol. This role will require you to create and maintain robust operational pipelines for distributed systems that span multiple blockchain ecosystems. The role is ideal for engineers who would thrive working autonomously as a member of a fast moving, highly collaborative, and impact-oriented team.

Responsibilities

  • Build CI/CD pipelines to automate build, test, and deploy processes (e.g., for smart contracts across multiple VMs, front-ends, and off-chain workers)
  • Maintain code to provision and manage our testing and production infrastructure
  • Monitor the health and performance of distributed systems
  • Collaborate closely with product and engineering to identify and address performance bottlenecks
  • Manage incidents and resolve outages to deliver high uptime services

Requirements

  • 4+ years of engineering experience in a DevOps or SRE role
  • Proficient in tools that enable Infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible)
  • Experience with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Proficient in security best practices and incident management
  • Knowledgeable about building monitoring solutions using tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana)
  • Strong communication in English
  • Ability to collaborate in a remote-first work environment
  • Passionate about crypto and demonstrated interest in DeFi, digital institutions, and new forms of money
  • Ability to work within our semi-flexible work schedule
  1. You must be available for regular meetings with colleagues in North American and European timezones
  2. You must be available for occasional in person travel

Bonus

  • Experience working in crypto (especially as an arbitrageur, block builder, validator, node and/or relayer operator)
  • Coding experience in Rust, Type/JavaScript, Solidity, or Go
  • Open source contributions

We value curiosity and non-traditional career paths. If you don’t meet all the requirements perfectly but believe you would excel on the team, we would still love to hear from you and encourage you to apply.

What we offer

  • Above-market equity. We plan on raising our first venture capital round in 2024. There is still time to join us on the ground floor.
  • Deeply self-motivated teammates who encourage you to run with your passion
  • High-trust, high-agency team striving to be the world’s best collaborators
  • Immaculate vibes
