Senior DevOps Engineer

Employment Type: Full-time
About the Opportunity
Nodeworthy is supporting a leading Solana-based decentralized exchange in hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer.
You will own and improve the infrastructure, deployment systems and operational reliability behind a high-traffic production platform. The role covers cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, incident response, infrastructure automation and production security.
This is a deeply hands-on individual-contributor position. You should be comfortable designing infrastructure, writing automation, deploying changes, investigating production incidents and taking ownership of systems from implementation through ongoing operation.
The ideal candidate is an experienced DevOps or SRE engineer who also possesses strong security fundamentals. You should be able to keep production systems reliable and scalable while ensuring that infrastructure, access controls, deployment processes and developer environments remain appropriately secured.
This role does not cover smart-contract auditing or protocol-level security reviews, which are handled by a separate internal team.
What You’ll Own
Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Engineering
- Design, build and operate highly available production infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform.
- Manage and improve Kubernetes clusters, networking, compute, storage, databases and other managed cloud services.
- Build reusable infrastructure through infrastructure-as-code and automation.
- Improve the scalability, reliability, performance and cost efficiency of production systems.
- Establish consistent infrastructure standards across development, staging and production environments.
- Identify and resolve infrastructure bottlenecks, configuration issues and operational risks.
- Evaluate and implement new infrastructure tools where they provide clear operational value.
- Maintain clear documentation and runbooks for critical systems.
CI/CD and Deployment Automation
- Own and improve CI/CD pipelines, build systems and deployment workflows.
- Automate testing, builds, releases, environment provisioning and production deployments.
- Improve deployment speed and reliability while maintaining appropriate safeguards.
- Secure source-code repositories, build environments, automation systems and deployment credentials.
