Senior Distributed Systems Engineer (Infrastructure)
Caldera, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Senior Distributed Systems Engineer (Infrastructure)
We're looking for an incredible senior engineer to help us build the future of blockchain scalability.
This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who is already passionate about tackling problems in blockchain scalability, or looking to break into the blockchain engineering space. If you're looking to work in a fast-paced, high-impact team and help shape the direction of our product and company, this position is for you.
We're backed by some of the best investors in the valley and offer competitive pay, an equity grant in the company, and full benefits. About Caldera
Caldera enables dynamic, scalable blockchain experiences. Currently, dapps that are deployed to general-purpose blockchain compete with thousands of other applications for space on the network - this can lead to congestion and high fees or even network outages.
That's where we come in.
We're building software that makes it easy for the most innovative blockchain applications to launch their own ultra-performant blockchains (rollups), enabling applications to own their ecosystem, scale to millions of users, and provide a superior user experience to their users.
We're located in San Francisco, and work in-person from the Financial District As a Senior Distributed Systems Engineer (Infrastructure) at Caldera, you will: Architect and develop backend systems to ensure the smooth operation of Caldera chains Improve our DevOps pipeline, which allows Caldera chains to be deployed reliably and securely Increase the reliability of our infrastructure by continuously improving the observability stack Build highly reliable and performant RPC infrastructure designed to handle billions of requests per day You might be a fit for this role if you... Have 4+ years of engineering experience Have experience writing distributed systems in Go Have experience with cloud technologies, especially Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Helm Hands-on experience with cloud / infrastructure providers, including AWS, Vercel, and Cloudflare Are confident with performance optimization, identifying bottlenecks and scalability concerns Have familiarity with observability tools like Grafana or Datadog Bonus points if you... Are familiar with how blockchains like Ethereum or Bitcoin work under the hood Are up-to-date with Ethereum scaling solutions such as sidechains or rollups Have an understanding of cryptography primitives, such as hash functions or digital signatures Have built Ethereum "dapps" before
If in doubt, please apply! We will find a place for great candidates, even if you feel that you don't check all of the boxes
