At its core, the job is about people: supporting the team, removing the blockers in their way, keeping priorities clear, and making sure what we ship is reliable and useful to our customers.\nThe role spans a few areas - infrastructure, engineering, blockchain operations, and quality management. It's broad, and you'll be close to the work rather than managing from a distance: you'll be leading engineers directly and shaping how it all fits together.\nAt Tatum, we value ownership, flexibility, respect, and practical execution. We work in a fast-paced blockchain environment with flat hierarchies, informal communication, and a strong focus on individual contribution and autonomy.\nWhat we need help with\nLeading the team\nRun team planning, prioritization, estimates, backlog, and delivery.\nSupport people management, coordination, and day-to-day operational decisions.\nImprove collaboration across Product, Engineering, Support, and Security.\nInfrastructure & platform\nOwn infrastructure reliability, observability, monitoring, and on-call.\nFind and fix reliability, performance, and operational issues before they reach customers.\nResearch, integrate, and operate blockchain networks in the Tatum ecosystem.\nSupport work on Tatum's Dashboard, API platform, backend services, and internal tools.\nHandle production operations, debugging, and incident resolution.\nStandards & quality\nSet technical standards and improve documentation and engineering processes.\nDefine and improve quality and release quality.\nCost & commercial\nKeep an eye on infrastructure and vendor costs, and their impact on COGS and margins.\nAssess technical feasibility and cost impact for new deals, trials, and commitments.\nGuide vendor decisions - reliability, SLAs, pricing, and operational fit.\nOur technology stack\nCloud & infrastructure: GCP, OVH\nOps & CI/CD: Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD, Ansible, Terraform\nFrontend: TypeScript, React.js, Tailwind CSS\nBackend: Node.js, Nest.js\nData: MongoDB, Firestore, Redis\nMessaging: RabbitMQ, Pub/Sub\nBlockchain: 200+ blockchain networks\nObservability & on-call: Grafana, BetterStack\nCode quality & security: Snyk, SonarCloud\nCooperation: ClickUp, Notion\nRequirements\nYou have around 5+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, SRE, or backend engineering - across cloud, VPS, or bare-metal environments.\nYou're hands-on with Linux, Docker, CI/CD, and infrastructure automation, and comfortable working directly on technical problems.\nYou know your way around the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem (Node.js, Nest.js).\nYou can set priorities based on what matters - business impact, customer needs, cost, reliability, and operational risk.\nYou communicate clearly, listen to the team, and stand up for them when it counts.\nYou're comfortable with production responsibility, incident handling, and taking part in on-call.\nYou understand observability, monitoring, and what \"reliable\" and \"good quality\" actually mean in practice.\nYou're happy to work with customers or customer-facing teams when needed.\nYou're pragmatic, adaptable, and take ownership - you bring ideas and see them through from research to production.\nBlockchain experience is a plus, not a must - the stack is learnable, and we don't expect you to arrive as an expert.\nSound like you? We'd love to hear from you - and if you're not sure you tick every box, reach out anyway.
