Senior Platform Engineer

Location: Remote - European time zones, Remote - United States

Department: Engineering

Location Type: REMOTE

Employment Type: FULL_TIME

• Platform Migration: Lead the transition from AWS-managed services and existing cloud infrastructure toward EKS-based workloads, with a longer-term goal of reducing AWS lock-in where appropriate.
• Infrastructure Architecture: Design and maintain high-availability, low-latency infrastructure, initially on AWS/EKS, while keeping future portability to other providers in mind.
• Cloud Operations: Manage cloud resources, load balancers, autoscaling groups, and containerized workloads. Ensure cost efficiency, resilience, and smooth scaling as trading volumes increase.
• Automation: Develop and manage infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, or similar) to ensure consistent, reproducible deployments. 
• CI/CD Pipeline Management: Build, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines to enable fast and reliable deployments. 
• Observability & Reliability: Own monitoring, alerting, and performance visibility across the stack using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog. Drive initiatives to improve uptime, latency, and fault recovery.

• Technical Requirements:
  • 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure roles.
  • Production experience operating at least one stateful or data infrastructure system in Kubernetes. Kafka/RedPanda or Postgres are the strongest signals. ClickHouse or Flink are also highly relevant. Spark and Trino/Presto count if you operated the platform, not merely submitted jobs or wrote queries.
  • Deep experience with AWS and production Kubernetes, especially EKS. ECS experience is useful, but Kubernetes operational experience is required.
  • Strong background in Terraform or other IaC tools.
  • Experience managing CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins).
  • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, load balancing, and microservices orchestration.
• Performance & Scale Mindset:
  • Proven ability to design infrastructure for high throughput, low-latency workloads, and high-frequency data systems.
  • Experience tuning cloud and containerized workloads for optimal performance.
• We are not looking for someone who has only deployed applications to an existing Kubernetes cluster; we need someone who has operated, debugged, upgraded, or owned Kubernetes infrastructure in production.
• Prior experience with performance-critical web or trading systems.
• Pride: We look for people who take deep pride and responsibility in the products they build. Crypto moves at breakneck speed, and only the most driven, fast-moving teams succeed.
• Team Collaboration: 
  • Strong communication skills to work effectively within a cross-functional team.
  • Experience working within a mid-sized engineer team.

• Experience working with crypto trading platforms, DeFi protocols, or on-chain infrastructure.
• Familiarity with Solana RPCs, indexing nodes, or validator management.
• Knowledge of data streaming or real-time analytics pipelines.
• Passion or experience in on-chain trading; being a part-time trader on Solana is a plus.

• Remote Flexibility: Work from anywhere on your schedule.
• Challenging Projects: Solve complex problems with cutting-edge technology in the trading space.
• Impactful Role: Shape backend systems powering one of the largest trading platforms on the market and shaping the experience of tens of thousands of daily users.
• Collaborative Culture: Join a team that values innovation, efficiency, and collaboration.
