DevOps Engineer at T1
Job details
๐๐ท is a rollup that introduces real-time proofs to unify Ethereum and the rollup ecosystem.ย
Our mission at ๐๐ท is to ensure Ethereum is not only the most decentralized blockchain ecosystem but also the blockchain with the best user and developer experience. We believe that the composability fragmentation introduced by rollupsโ siloed execution is currently a major obstacle to that end. Therefore, we are building ๐๐ท, a TEE-enabled rollup that introduces real-time proofs, RTP. This allows for instant settlement on Ethereum and therefore enables its unification with the broader rollup ecosystem.
What You'll Be Doing
CI and CD for E2E Blockchain Components: Accelerate our core engineering team by developing CI and CD pipelines using platforms like GitHub Actions, for: smart contract deployments and upgrades (L1, L2), ๐๐ท rollup node upgrades,ย Partner Rollupsโ sequencer follower node TEE integrations, TEE prover infrastructure,ย ๐๐ท AVS co-node upgrades,ย third-party ZK prover integration infrastructure, and automatic end-to-end testingMonitoring & Observability: Implement comprehensive logging, monitoring, and alerting systems using Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack to ensure system health and performance.โIncident Response & Disaster Recovery: Develop and maintain runbooks, on-call systems, automated failover strategies, and disaster recovery plans to minimize downtimeMaintenance: Manage said components across cloud and bare-metal deployments; currently, weโre mostly using GCP Compute Engine VMs.โInfrastructure Automation: Design, implement, and maintain robust infrastructure-as-code (IaC) for rollup nodes, RPC endpoints, and validator services using tools like Terraform and Ansible.โSecurity & Key Management: Enforce best practices for key management, validator security, and RPC protection with tools like HashiCorp Vault.โScalability & Performance Optimization: Optimize rollup infrastructure for latency, throughput, and fault tolerance, ensuring seamless coordination between Ethereum Layer 1 and ๐๐ท Rollup Layer 2, no matter which geography the user is in etc.Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with smart contract engineers, blockchain researchers, and network security teams to enhance our infrastructure.โMust-Haves
CI/CD & GitOps: Experience with GitHub Actions or similar tools to automate deployments and upgrades.Containerization & Orchestration: Solid knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes for deploying and managing containerized applications.โMonitoring & Site Reliability Engineering: Proficiency with monitoring, on-call and observability tools to maintain system performance.โInfrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation: Proficiency with Terraform, Ansible, or similar tools for reproducible infrastructure management.โCloud & Bare-Metal Deployments: Strong experience with AWS, GCP, Azure, or similar platforms for scalable blockchain infrastructure.โExecution Client Proficiency: Experience with at least running production (mainnet) Ethereum execution clients such as Reth, Geth, or Nethermind.Ethereum Ecosystem Experience: Hands-on experience with Ethereum L1 and EVM rollup/L2 technologies and a deep understanding of its ecosystem, including the Foundry toolkit for smart contract deployment and verification automation.Networking & RPC Optimization: Expertise in load balancing, rate limiting, and firewall security for RPC endpoints and validators.โSecurity & Key Management: Strong understanding of validator security and key management systems.โ
This is a remote role, but we only accept candidates from time zones between Eastern Time (ET) and Central European Time (CET).
Nice-to-Have
Experience with Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs): Understanding of technologies like TDX, SGX or Nitro Enclaves used in rollup provers.Rust & Golang Development: Ability to debug and contribute to Rust-based prover infrastructure or Golang-based Ethereum clients.โProtocol Engineering Exposure: Experience working with optimistic rollups, ZK rollups, or cross-chain bridges.โOpen Source Contributions: Contributions to Ethereum infrastructure, rollups, or core protocol development.โ
