About the job
ABOUT UNTO LABS
At Unto Labs, we are a team of visionary engineers committed to pushing the boundaries of distributed systems and developing cutting-edge blockchain technology on standard hardware. Our focus lies in creating core system primitives and high-performance architectures that will shape the future of digital assets and markets.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a skilled Platform/DevOps Engineer to take ownership of the infrastructure utilized by our engineering team. You will be responsible for managing CI/CD pipelines, deployment environments, observability, and developer tools. Our infrastructure is rapidly evolving, encompassing distributed node architectures across multiple cloud providers, self-managed CI runners, and a variety of deployment targets. Your contributions will enhance the reliability, performance, and cost-effectiveness of our systems.
This is a high-impact position within a small, elite team. Your efforts will empower every engineer to work quickly and minimize disruptions. You can expect to collaborate directly with systems engineers and product teams to build and fortify the platform layer for next-generation blockchain systems.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Take charge of optimizing our CI/CD pipelines to ensure reliability, cost efficiency, and effective spin-down strategies to manage compute costs.
Consolidate and streamline deployment infrastructure across Cloudflare, Google Cloud Run, and legacy providers, minimizing redundancy and fragility.
Implement and maintain observability through structured logging (OpenTelemetry/HyperDX), alerting (PagerDuty/Slack), and dashboards that monitor node health, transaction flow, and network performance.
Facilitate smoother developer onboarding by creating reproducible local development setups, improving secrets management, and maintaining clear documentation.
Support network operations, manage chain state, automate backups, and maintain high uptime standards.
Assess and deploy infrastructure tooling, including Infrastructure as Code (IaC), container orchestration, and cloud cost monitoring.
REQUIREMENTS
Minimum of 3 years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, or similar infrastructure roles, preferably in high-growth or startup environments.
Proficient in CI/CD systems, including self-hosted runners and cost tracking.
Extensive knowledge of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) (including Cloud Run, Compute Engine, GCS, IAM) or equivalent AWS services.
Experienced with Docker/containerization and related technologies.
