We have built a flexible work environment where new ideas are encouraged and everyone is a stakeholder.
What you'll be responsible for:
As a Staff Site Reliability Engineer on Circle's Platform team, you'll design, build, and operate the infrastructure that powers our blockchain platform at scale. You'll own the reliability, performance, and automation of distributed blockchain systems across multiple public cloud environments, leveraging Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, and modern SRE practices to deliver resilient, secure, and highly available services.
Working closely with engineering, protocol, product, and security teams, you'll build AI-powered tooling and automation that improves operational excellence, accelerates developer productivity, and enables the rapid delivery of new blockchain capabilities. This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives in high-ownership environments, enjoys solving complex distributed systems challenges, and is passionate about advancing the reliability and scalability of blockchain infrastructure.
What you'll work on:
  • Operate and scale production blockchain infrastructure, managing full nodes across networks such as Arc, Ethereum, Solana, Base, and other supported protocols.
  • Design, build, and maintain highly available, secure Kubernetes platforms with a focus on automation, resilience, and self-healing workloads.
  • Build and improve CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Pulumi, and cloud-native tooling.
  • Develop AI-powered infrastructure automation, including Kubernetes lifecycle management, IaC analysis, blockchain cost optimization, and MCP server integrations to improve engineering productivity.
  • Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize distributed systems, participating in a follow-the-sun on-call rotation, incident response, and post-incident reviews to improve platform reliability.
  • Partner closely with protocol, product, and security teams to deliver reliable infrastructure that supports network launches, upgrades, and evolving business requirements.
  • Drive technical excellence by mentoring engineers, sharing SRE best practices, and contributing to architecture and reliability improvements across the platform.

Here is our team hierarchy for individual contributors:

  • Experience operating and troubleshooting blockchain nodes and other distributed systems in production environments.
  • Strong experience with Kubernetes, including Helm, RBAC, operators, controllers, and observability tooling.
  • Hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines, containerized workloads, and modern deployment strategies such as blue-green and canary releases.
  • Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or Pulumi and cloud networking fundamentals, including VPCs, DNS, load balancers, and secure connectivity.
  • Proficiency in Go or Python to build platform automation, infrastructure tooling, and operational workflows.
  • Experience managing SQL databases and stateful production services with a strong understanding of reliability and performance.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional technical initiatives, make sound decisions in ambiguous situations, and communicate effectively across engineering teams.

Preferred Requirements
  • Passion for crypto and blockchain infrastructure, with experience building AI-enabled infrastructure tooling or agentic workflows; familiarity with MCP servers and responsible use of generative AI to improve engineering productivity is a plus.
