About the role

  • The Infrastructure team provides the infrastructure, tooling, and expertise needed to allow Alchemy engineers to ship, scale, and operate high-quality products in a fast, safe, and cost-efficient manner.

Responsibilities

  • Drive AI enablement across engineering - ensuring repos, tooling, and workflows are optimized for agentic development with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
  • Build AI-powered infrastructure tooling and automation (e.g., automated K8s upgrades, IaC plan analysis, cost optimization advisors, MCP servers, n8n workflows).
  • Build and maintain internal developer platform (IDP) capabilities for self-service deployments, observability, and reliability.
  • Develop observability frameworks using Prometheus and Grafana for metrics, dashboards, and alerting.
  • Lead incident management with blameless post-mortems
  • Design and manage multi-cloud, multi-region network architecture - VPC design, IPAM, DNS (Cloudflare), cross-cloud connectivity, security groups, and edge-proxy/istio gateway configuration.
  • Collaborate with security teams to embed compliance into infrastructure, including IaC scanning and runtime protection.
  • Experience leveraging agentic development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) and workflow automation (n8n) to accelerate IaC and build internal tooling is a strong plus.
  • Solid networking fundamentals - VPC design, DNS, IPAM, security groups, cross-cloud connectivity, and service mesh (e.g., Istio) experience is a plus.

Requirements

  • 5+ years as an Infrastructure Engineer focused on reliability (SRE, Production Engineer, Platform Engineer).
  • Experience driving company-wide reliability efforts, including SLO frameworks and error budget policies.
  • Strong proficiency with observability stacks: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana.
  • Deep experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), Kubernetes, and multi-region architectures.

Nice to have

  • Blockchain infrastructure, distributed systems, or high-throughput RPC experience - not required but a plus.

Compensation

  • As an engineer in the Infrastructure department at Alchemy, you will design, deploy, and continuously improve the infrastructure powering our blockchain developer platform — serving 100+ chains, billions of daily requests, and over $150B in
