About the role

Jito's infrastructure spans multiple high-stakes systems and repositories, including Jito-Solana, BAM, RPC's, Block Engine, and related services.
You will be working on production infrastructure where correctness, uptime, latency, and operational discipline matter.

Own and execute software upgrades and releases across Jito infrastructure, including testnet upgrades, mainnet canaries, staged rollouts, and patches.
Own the operational release checklist from preflight validation through deployment, monitoring, rollback readiness, and post-release follow-up.
We regularly need to absorb upstream Anza changes, propagate those changes into downstream Jito repositories, validate behavior across environments, and safely roll upgrades through testnet and mainnet.
You will work closely with the infrastructure lead to execute release strategy, maintain release playbooks, perform deployments, monitor rollouts, coordinate rollback paths, and improve the automation and reliability of the release process over time.

4+ years of experience in release engineering, deployment engineering, SRE, infrastructure engineering, DevOps, platform engineering, or similar production infrastructure roles.
Experience with linux production deployment workflows, canary rollouts, rollback procedures, incident response, and operational monitoring.
Familiarity with Git-based release workflows, version management, branching, tagging, changelogs, and cross-repo coordination.
High ownership and comfort working autonomously on a small team.

Experience operating blockchain, validator, trading, low-latency, or other high-stakes distributed systems.
Experience writing code in Rust
Experience with fleet management, systemd, Terraform, Ansible, or similar infrastructure tooling.
Experience with observability systems such as Grafana, Prometheus, InfluxDB, ClickHouse, OpenTelemetry, or similar.
Experience with hardware or datacenter-adjacent operational work, including firmware updates, BIOS maintenance, networking changes, or bare-metal fleet upgrades.

Monitor releases in real time using dashboards, logs, alerts, and service-level health checks.

We are looking for a Release/Deployment Engineer to help own the operational execution of releases across Jito's validator, block-building, RPC, simulator, and infrastructure systems.
