Our mission is to empower people everywhere through transparent, decentralized systems that drive financial freedom. ZIGChain is a Layer 1 blockchain focused on unlocking financial opportunities for everyone, regardless of their income, location or level of knowledge.\nWe're looking for a junior-to-mid systems and infrastructure engineer to take on the day-to-day operation of our Linux, AWS, and blockchain-node infrastructure. You'll start by owning routine administration and monitoring, and grow into more of our infrastructure-as-code and node-operations work over time. This is a hands-on operations role with a clear path to broader responsibility, and a great fit for someone with solid fundamentals who wants to deepen their cloud and infrastructure skills in a real production environment.\nRequirementsWhat You'll Do\nOperate and maintain our Linux, AWS, and blockchain-node infrastructure on a day-to-day basis.\n\nOwn routine administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of services and networking.\n\nContribute to our infrastructure-as-code work with Terraform, growing your ownership over time.\n\nSupport blockchain node operations across our ecosystem.\n\nAutomate recurring tasks and diagnostics through scripting.\n\nHelp keep our systems secure, patched, and running smoothly.\n\nRequirementsMust-Haves:\nLinux administration: CLI fluency, systemd, package management, log analysis, and troubleshooting of services and networking.\n\nShell scripting (Bash) for automation and diagnostics.\n\nWorking knowledge of core AWS services: EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, CloudWatch, and load balancers (ELB/ALB). You should be able to operate and debug them, not necessarily architect them.\n\nTerraform at a working level: you have authored and applied configurations and understand state and the plan/apply cycle. Prior Terraform experience on any cloud is fine, it doesn't need to be AWS.\n\nNetworking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, SSH, firewalls and security groups.\n\nGit: comfortable with the everyday branch/commit/PR workflow.\n\nSound credential and access hygiene: proper SSH key handling, least-privilege IAM, keeping secrets out of code and repositories, and keeping systems patched.\n\nCool-to-Haves:\nTerraform beyond the basics: modules, remote state, multi-environment setups.\n\nBlockchain node experience, whether with Cosmos specifically or another chain.\n\nDocker; Kubernetes exposure is a plus.\n\nMonitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana).\n\nPython for tooling beyond Bash.\n\nCI/CD exposure.\n\nSoft Skills\nAccountability: you own your work and communicate openly when something goes wrong, focusing on fixing it rather than explaining it away.\n\nHonesty and candor: you speak up for what's good for the team, even when it's not the easiest thing to say.\n\nA self-taught instinct: you're comfortable figuring things out on your own and genuinely enjoy learning, since much of this role is grown into rather than known on day one.\n\nCollaborative team player, self-directed and comfortable working autonomously in remote environments.\n\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive annual salary ranging from $40,000.00 to $50,000.00 (USD) depending on seniority.\n\n15% extra to the salary in ZIGs tokens as part of the compensation package.\n\nFully remote work environment.\n\nOpportunity to work in a cutting-edge industry.\n\nCollaborative and inclusive work culture.\n\nProfessional growth and development opportunities.\n\nWhy Join ZIGChain?\nImpact, help operate and strengthen the core infrastructure that powers a decentralised, interoperable financial future,\n\nInnovation, work with a cutting-edge tech stack in a space that rewards experimentation and creativity,\n\nOwnership, take real responsibility for systems that matter from your first weeks, with a clear path to more,\n\nGrowth, join a team that values learning, autonomy and technical excellence at every level.\n\nOur Core ValuesAt ZIGChain we don't just build blockchain technology, we build a culture rooted in five values that shape how we work every day.\n\nExtreme Ownership: we close the loop. Work ends shipped, killed, or explicitly handed off, and we escalate when blocked instead of going silent,\n\nHeroes Don't Scale: we step up when the moment demands it, then build the processes, workflows and agents that prevent the next crisis,\n\nExcellence: excellence is what ships. Quality and time are fixed, scope flexes, and we aim to deliver work that becomes the reference others measure against,\n\nStrategic Intelligence: we think in second and third orders, naming downstream consequences before committing and choosing speed or depth as the moment requires,\n\nThe Org Is AI: AI executes work and holds the system while we give it direction. Building and orchestrating agents is basic literacy here.\n\nThese values drive how we work, grow and make an impact, and we're inviting you to be part of it. Apply now!\nHighlightsOwn the day-to-day of ZIGChain's Linux, AWS and node infrastructure, and grow into IaC and node operations. Fully remote, real production environment, real responsibility.\nOriginally posted on Himalayas","description_format":"text","description_chars":5232,"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":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Blockchain & Crypto"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-06T14:28:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["seen:3","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":50000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/zigchain-infrastructure-systems-operations-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/zigchain-infrastructure-systems-operations-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T00:12:09Z","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","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":120,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4880,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2148264},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2148264"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fzigchain-infrastructure-systems-operations-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%2Fzigchain-infrastructure-systems-operations-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%2Fzigchain-infrastructure-systems-operations-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/zigchain-infrastructure-systems-operations-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fzigchain-infrastructure-systems-operations-engineer"}]}
