Senior DevOps Engineer

Department: Engineering

Location: Bengaluru

Employment Type: FullTime

At Toxic Flow Labs, we are building the foundation for global markets with a focus on speed, composability, and security. Our flagship product, Kuru Exchange, is a CLOB DEX built natively on Monad, bringing the speed and capital efficiency of centralized exchanges on-chain. Our key differentiation is an EVM-native, fully on-chain order book that unlocks a new standard for trading infrastructure in crypto.

We’ve raised a total of $13.8M, led by Paradigm and Electric Capital, and are now focused on building a world-class team.

Role and Responsibilities
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines across the exchange and trading stack
• Prototype new deployment patterns across the exchange and trading stack
• Work along with engineering to design and run performance benchmarks and load tests to surface bottlenecks before they reach production
• Drive observability, alerting, and security across the stack
• Develop tooling for internal & external use
• Participate in on-call rotation for production support

Required

• 4+ years of DevOps experience

• 3+ years of experience with container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)

• Proficient in bare metal server management and scripting

• Proficient in at least one back-end language such as Python or Go

• Hands-on experience running highly available containerized systems on Kubernetes, including packaging (Helm) and GitOps-style deployment (FluxCD, ArgoCD, or GitHub Actions)

• Strong experience with a major cloud provider (AWS preferred)

• Comfort with network setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting at the systems level

• Experience operating open-source observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or similar)

• Proficient with command-line git

• Able to juggle competing priorities and move quickly during incidents

Preferred

• 3+ years of experience with Infrastructure as Code and Configuration Management (Terraform, Ansible)

• Experience managing infrastructure for high-performance, low-latency trading or exchange systems.

Why work with us?

• Challenging problems
  You’ll work on difficult, novel problems at the intersection of exchange design, low-latency systems, smart contracts, and crypto market structure. Many of these problems simply haven’t existed in this form before.

• Build from first principles
  We are pioneering an EVM-native, fully on-chain order book. You’ll have the opportunity to help define how this category of trading infrastructure is built, rather than simply improving on an established playbook.

• Huge opportunity
  Monad’s Parallel EVM makes it possible to build high-performance applications that were previously impractical on the EVM. Kuru is using that performance to bring a CEX-like trading experience and capital efficiency on a decentralised blockchain.

• High ownership, exceptional team
  We’re a small team, so your work will have a direct and visible impact on the product, architecture, and company. You’ll work alongside highly driven people who care deeply about quality, move quickly, and keep egos low.

• Culture and compensation
  We’re a lean, collaborative team working toward ambitious goals. As an early member, you’ll help shape how we work and what we build. You’ll also receive a competitive salary and equity package.
