Our mission is to create blockchain technology that puts users in control of their data while enabling seamless interactions across platforms.\nAnuma.ai is our flagship AI product-an ambitious privacy-first AI platform designed to deliver real value while maintaining user sovereignty. Backed by top-tier investors, we're pushing the boundaries of what AI can do in the real world, building a fully interoperable and private AI ecosystem that serves actual user needs.\nIf you're excited by meaningful technical challenges and building products that matter, this is the place for you.\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to build and operate the infrastructure powering next-generation AI applications. You'll ensure the reliability, scalability, and security of production systems that serve users globally-working at the intersection of blockchain, AI, and distributed systems.\nThis is a highly hands-on, execution-focused role. You'll operate critical infrastructure, build automation to eliminate toil, and partner with engineering teams to design systems that are reliable by default. If you thrive on solving complex infrastructure challenges, love building robust automation, and want to work with cutting-edge technology stacks, this is the role for you.\nWhat You'll Do\nOperate and maintain production blockchain infrastructure, including validators, RPC services, indexers, and supporting services\nEnsure high availability and performance for AI-enabled developer platforms and internal tooling\nBuild and maintain monitoring, alerting, and dashboards for protocol, infrastructure, and application health\nWrite high-quality automation and infrastructure code to reduce toil and improve reliability\nParticipate in on-call rotations, incident response, and post-incident reviews\nPartner with engineering teams to embed reliability, scalability, and security best practices into system design\nImprove Kubernetes reliability across cloud and bare-metal environments\nContinuously refine deployment, rollback, and recovery strategies\nWhat We're Looking For\nRequired:\n3+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering\nStrong software engineering foundation with production experience in Go and/or Python\nDeep expertise operating Linux systems in production environments\nProven track record running Kubernetes at scale in high-availability environments\nExperience supporting distributed systems with demanding uptime requirements\nComfort working in fast-moving startup environments with evolving requirements\nStrong security mindset, especially for infrastructure operating on public or adversarial networks\nExcellent collaboration and communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders\nBonus Points:\nExposure to AI-powered infrastructure, observability tools, or developer tooling\nExperience operating blockchain nodes or validator infrastructure\nFamiliarity with Cosmos-based chains or EVM clients\nExperience with DevOps, DevSecOps, or GitOps methodologies\nActive contributions to open-source projects\nNot Required: Prior blockchain experience is not required -we value strong engineering fundamentals, automation skills, and distributed systems expertise above domain-specific knowledge. Our ideal candidate description is a wish list, not a checklist.\nOur Tech Stack\nLanguages: Go, Python, Bash, Terraform, Ansible\nInfrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, Linux\nObservability: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Loki, incident.io\nPlatforms: AWS, GCP, bare metal\nBlockchain Stack: Cosmos SDK, Tendermint / CometBFT, Ethereum, Bitcoin\nWhy Join Us\nBuild and operate infrastructure for cutting-edge AI and blockchain systems\nMake architectural decisions that impact reliability at scale\nWork with modern, best-in-class tooling across the entire infrastructure stack\nCollaborate with talented engineers solving novel distributed systems challenges\nCompetitive compensation with meaningful benefits\nFlexible hybrid work environment in San Francisco\nBacked by top-tier investors who believe in our vision\nCompensation\nBase Salary: $190,000 - $225,000\nThis range reflects base salaries for roles in the San Francisco market. For candidates in other locations, compensation is adjusted to remain competitive within their local market.\nIn addition to the base salary, all full-time team members receive an additional 10% to 25% in liquid benefits with upside based on role, experience, and impact. We believe in building together and sharing in the long-term success of the network. Compensation packages are designed to be competitive and aligned with the growth of both the team and the ecosystem.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4785,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cryptocurrencies","Blockchain Infrastructure"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-01-21T23:23:17Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.19,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":270,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":225000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/zetachain-senior-platform-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/zetachain-senior-platform-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T17:11:22Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12980,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":47637},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=47637"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fzetachain-senior-platform-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fzetachain-senior-platform-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fzetachain-senior-platform-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/zetachain-senior-platform-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fzetachain-senior-platform-engineer"}]}
