We raised a ~$63M Series A from Sony, SBI and others. The team is ~70 people across 20 nationalities, and English is the working language of engineering.\nWhy US time zones\nOur engineering team is spread across Asia and Europe. This role anchors infrastructure coverage in US hours: you will be the infrastructure owner awake when most of the team is not. You must be physically based in a US time zone (UTC-8 to UTC-5), whether in the US, Canada, or Latin America. Working US hours from another region does not qualify.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for a Senior DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer to own the infrastructure, deployment, and operational systems behind StartaleApp, Strium, and other products across the Startale ecosystem. This is a senior, hands-on role: you design, build, and operate production infrastructure end to end, from cloud and Kubernetes to CI/CD, databases, observability, and security.\nYou will work primarily on two demanding products. StartaleApp is a user-facing Web3 wallet and application platform whose backend combines traditional cloud services and databases with blockchain nodes, indexers, and transaction processing. Strium, built with SBI Group, is a next-generation decentralized exchange bringing Japanese equities onchain, with a fully onchain order book and a consensus layer purpose-built for low-latency, high-throughput trading.\nBoth run under high load, strict availability and security requirements, and real production conditions. We want someone who builds infrastructure rather than maintains it: comfortable making architectural decisions, automating everything that repeats, and diagnosing complex production issues. Experience running blockchain infrastructure is a significant advantage, and a SecOps or cloud security background is a major plus.\nWhat You Will Do\nOwn infrastructure architecture and operations for StartaleApp, Strium, and other production systems.\nDesign, build, and operate highly available cloud infrastructure on AWS: Kubernetes clusters, networking, storage, scaling, upgrades.\nManage everything as code: Terraform, GitOps, and CI/CD pipelines with safe rollouts and rollback.\nOperate PostgreSQL in production: availability, replication, backups, performance, recovery.\nBuild observability across infrastructure, applications, databases, and blockchain nodes, with alerting that catches incidents early.\nRun blockchain infrastructure (nodes, RPC services, indexers) and monitor it down to protocol level: sync, connectivity, transaction processing.\nDesign disaster recovery and failover for critical systems, and harden security: access control, secrets, vulnerability management, monitoring.\nDiagnose production incidents across the full stack, and remove operational bottlenecks with automation instead of manual procedure.\nWhat You Bring\n5+ years in DevOps, SRE, platform, or infrastructure engineering.\nA track record of building and operating production infrastructure for highly available systems, where availability directly affected users or the business.\nDeep hands-on Kubernetes, AWS, and Linux experience.\nInfrastructure as code with Terraform, GitOps practices, and CI/CD pipeline design.\nSolid networking fundamentals: DNS, load balancing, TLS, service discovery.\nPostgreSQL in production: replication, backups, recovery, performance.\nHigh-availability design, incident response, root-cause analysis, and capacity planning.\nHands-on experience operating blockchain infrastructure (nodes, RPC, indexers, validators, or data pipelines) and an understanding of how distributed blockchain networks fail.\nStrong Plus\nSecurity: SecOps or cloud security experience, hardening production environments, AWS security services and IAM design.\nPlatform breadth: bare-metal operations, Helm or ArgoCD, messaging systems such as Kafka or NATS, observability stacks such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or OpenTelemetry.\nBlockchain depth: operating chain infrastructure at significant scale; Ethereum, Polkadot, or L2 ecosystems.\n Domain: financial, trading, or other latency-sensitive systems; using AI tools in infrastructure workflows; Go, Rust, or TypeScript.\nHow We Think About This Role\nWe care less about specific tools and more about how you engineer:\nBuild infrastructure, not just operate it, and own problems from architecture through production.\nDesign for high load and partial failure, and automate what repeats.\nDiagnose across the full stack, from Kubernetes and networking to databases and blockchain nodes.\nTreat infrastructure as a product, with users, reliability requirements, and long-term maintenance needs.\nWhy Join\nBuild and operate the core infrastructure behind StartaleApp and Strium, including a DEX designed for high-throughput, low-latency trading.\nOne role spanning cloud, Kubernetes, distributed systems, databases, and blockchain infrastructure.\nSignificant ownership and direct product impact in a small, highly technical team.\nCompetitive compensation and equity.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5401,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All
