Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 1, 2026. First seen by Alion on Sep 29, 2026.
About Us
Machines will make decisions, move value, and coordinate on behalf of organizations, instantly, autonomously, and at unprecedented scale. But the systems that govern today’s economy weren’t designed for that world. Turnkey is building the infrastructure for this future: programmable guardrails that enable autonomy without sacrificing control.
Founded by the team who scaled Coinbase Custody to $100M+ ARR and secured over $100B in crypto assets, we know how to move at pace without ever compromising on security.
Our mission is to help the world operate an economy on autopilot, safely. We're low-ego, high-agency, and deeply technical. Our team consists of experts in cryptography, security, and systems who believe great infrastructure is invisible. We're building the trustless, programmable foundation for the autonomous economy, and we're hiring people who understand what that requires.
Your role
This is not a config-and-tickets DevOps role. We're looking for someone who treats infrastructure as a programming problem: writing real software (in Go) to automate, scale, and harden the systems that run a security-critical platform.
- Own best practices for managing production infrastructure, including provisioning, application scaling, configuration management, capacity planning, and monitoring
- Build and maintain our Kubernetes infrastructure at scale, along with the Terraform-provisioned cloud resources that sit underneath it
- Write custom automation and tooling in Go to reduce manual work and eliminate entire classes of operational risk
- Build infrastructure to manage and deploy applications in secure enclaves
- Design thoughtful deployment processes that reduce the risks inherent in the software development lifecycle
- Improve operations across our infrastructure and systems, including deployment, logging, monitoring, and alerting
- Assist in scaling out a world-class engineering team
What we're looking for
- Strong multi-cloud infrastructure experience, AWS strongly preferred
- Real programming ability in Go. You should be comfortable writing production software, not just scripts or configuration
- Hands-on experience running Kubernetes at scale and managing infrastructure as code with Terraform
- A learning mindset and high agency. We care more about how fast you pick things up and how much ownership you take than about years of experience on paper
- An understanding of modern application architectures, with opinions on how they should be developed and deployed
- Experience working in extremely security conscious environments
- A healthy amount of paranoia :)
- People who think Web3/cryptocurrency has the potential to radically change the world for the better, and a sincere desire to help facilitate that change
- Based in the US
Style points
- Experience with trusted execution environments, secure enclaves, hardware security modules, or other attestable compute environments
- A deep understanding of Linux and how to reduce the surface area of applications deployed on top of it
- Expertise in threshold signing systems and a desire to stay on the cutting edge of production-grade cryptography
- Actively tracking developments in the crypto ecosystem and opinionated on where it's going
What We Offer
- Full benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, HSA/FSA, 401(k)
- Paid parental leave
- Unlimited PTO
- $3,000/yr learning and development budget to attend industry conferences
- Multiple team offsites per year
- Lunch stipend
Please note that while the team is remote, we are only considering candidates who are physically based in the United States and Canada at the current time.
