Description
About Us 

Aurora Labs is the development company behind Aurora—the EVM blockchain that runs on the NEAR Protocol. We are also the developers of, and integration partner behind, Aurora Cloud—a suite of products that allow Web2 companies to capture the value of Web3.

We invite you to be a part of our team of smart, professional, result-oriented and fun individuals. Join us to help ensure that our background processes run smoothly while we are striving to become the best in the industry.

About the team

Our infrastructure team is responsible for building and supporting critical systems required for running and accessing NEAR and Aurora networks. That includes everything on the path of RPC requests before they hit the blockchain and block production and event delivery once transactions are executed.

Load balancing, caching, queueing, transaction simulation and block production is processed by the services written and maintained by the infrastructure team. These services operate at large scale and process terabytes of data. The platform is based on open-source software, such as Kubernetes, NATS, Jetstream, Blockscout, Grafana, Postgres and Near-core, alongside a few internally developed services.

All internally developed services are written in Go and implement core pieces of functionality such as Mempool management, NEAR chunk distribution, transaction pre-processing and simulation.

About the position 

This role is split between two responsibilities: software engineering (80%) and site reliability (20%).

Software Engineering projects include:

- Shield - a security service to protect users from making errors or executing malicious transactions.
- Mempool - a system to store/reorder transactions before they can hit the blockchain.
- Relayer - translates RPC calls on the read and write path from the end user.
- Explorer - Blockscout-based system that provides a user interface.
- Aurora Cloud - a system to automatically provision multiple infrastructure stacks for Aurora Engine.
- CLI tools for pubsub and streaming infrastructure operations.
- Indexers and blockchain event aggregation pipelines for monitoring purposes.

Reliability Engineering includes:

- Automating configuration and maintenance of software components such as K8s, NATS, Influxdb, Postgres, Cloudflare using e.g. Ansible, Terraform, Helm and kubernetes operators.
- Design and implementation of cloud-agnostic solutions without exclusively relying on specific cloud vendors.
- Optimizing the latency and throughput of the pub-sub infrastructure.
- Incident management, troubleshooting, monitoring, distributed tracing and recovery automation. 

About you

You are a software engineer with experience of creating and maintaining backend systems. You are familiar with the entire Linux stack and can easily find a bottleneck in a distributed system. You have developed CLI tools and backend services before and are comfortable applying your software development skills to automate your daily operations or to create a microservice on the request path of the end users.

Key Qualifications

- Experience with Devops or SRE as an engineering subject area, with proficiency in Golang.
- Successful track-record and proven experience as a backend internet services software developer.
- Knowledge of SDLC, including continuous integration and testing methodologies.
- Understanding of base internet infrastructure services including DNS, HTTP,  server virtualization, server monitoring in critical, large scale distributed systems.
- Understanding of SRE principals, including monitoring, alerting, error budgets, fault analysis, and other common reliability engineering concepts, with a keen eye for opportunities to eliminate toil by code and process improvements.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English 

Desired skills

- Deep familiarity with Go or other system-oriented programming languages.
- Experience with development within Kubernetes ecosystem, including operator framework, controllers and CRDs.
- Experience with streaming and pubsub systems such as NATS, Apache Kafka, Apache Pulsar.
- Automating operations processes via services and tools.
- Configuration management and fleet orchestration via Puppet, Chef, Ansible, or others.
- Cloud Services (AWS S3/EC2/CloudFront or equivalent).

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
