About the role
- Interested in working on cutting-edge blockchain technology and creating equitable access to the global financial system?
- This is a senior engineering leadership role reporting to the CTO.
- SRE provides the frameworks, standards, shared infrastructure, tooling, observability practices, and enablement model that make strong service ownership possible across engineering.
Responsibilities
- Own and improve core engineering infrastructure services, including cloud foundations, Kubernetes and compute patterns, CI/CD, observability, secrets management, GitHub workflows, and infrastructure automation.
- Build paved paths and self-service infrastructure that reduce toil, lower cognitive load, and help engineering teams move faster while strengthening ownership and reliability.
- Partner closely with Security, Compliance, Legal, Finance, Procurement, and Corporate IT where infrastructure, access management, cloud operations, vendor review, or controls intersect with engineering.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in SRE, infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, production operations, or closely related engineering roles.
- 5+ years of experience leading, managing, or formally developing infrastructure, SRE, platform, or reliability engineers.
- Strong experience defining team charters, operating models, roadmaps, success measures, and engineering practices for infrastructure or reliability teams.
- 3+ years of experience with modern cloud infrastructure in AWS, GCP, or similar environments.
- 3+ years of experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration, infrastructure-as-code, declarative systems, CI/CD, and deployment safety.
- Strong experience with observability, monitoring, alerting, logging, dashboards, SLOs/SLIs, incident response, postmortems, and on-call practices.
- Experience helping product or application engineering teams improve service ownership, operational readiness, and production accountability.
- The ability to operate effectively in a small or mid-sized engineering organization where influence comes from credibility, judgment, and outcomes rather than bureaucracy.
Nice to have
- Experience leading SRE, infrastructure, or platform work in a lean, high-agency organization.
- Experience improving developer productivity through paved paths, self-service infrastructure, automation, and reduced toil.
- Experience with infrastructure security fundamentals, secrets management, access controls, cloud security practices, or compliance-related infrastructure controls.
- Experience in financial services, regulated environments, blockchain, crypto, Web3, or other high-reliability technical ecosystems.
- Experience evaluating vendors and infrastructure platforms with skepticism, technical rigor, and cost discipline.
- Practical experience applying AI-assisted or agentic workflows to infrastructure, reliability, operations, observability, or developer productivity.
