DevOps Engineer

Etherealize is building the rails to bring Wall Street into the 21st century. Today's financial infrastructure wastes billions in trapped capital and operational inefficiency, forcing institutions to maintain massive reserves, limiting market liquidity, and creating systemic risk that grows more dangerous as markets become increasingly global and interconnected.

With $40M in funding from Electric Capital and Paradigm, we are bringing together the best minds from Ethereum and Wall Street to rebuild the infrastructure that underpins the financial system — faster, safer, fully on-chain.

We are looking for a Senior Dev Ops Engineer to own how everything we build gets deployed, secured, observed and kept running. You will be joining a team dedicated to unlocking the true potential of on-chain finance, creating a world where traditional assets flow seamlessly through blockchain protocols. Etherealize has a series of products moving from beta to production with institutional clients, and we need the right person to make sure they run flawlessly.

Until now, infrastructure and deployments for our web application have been handled by the engineering team alongside their product work. As we move from beta into production, with multiple client environments, contractual SLAs and SOC 2 on the horizon, that is no longer sustainable. At the same time, our blockchain infrastructure , including an Ethereum execution client instance we operate ourselves and a ZK proving pipeline running alongside it, is about to become a first-class production concern.

This is not a backfill. You will be the first dedicated Dev Ops hire and the foremost infrastructure expert in the company. The basics are in place; you will reimagine our deployments, monitoring, alerting, runbooks and infrastructure security for production, and own them end to end.

You will sit across engineering, security and the protocol team, and will be expected to look at an architecture diagram and know how you want to deploy it and keep it running — we will be asking you what we should do, not the other way around.

Infrastructure as Code:
Own our AWS infrastructure in Terraform. Design modular, well-architected Terraform that scales cleanly across multiple client environments and maintain it with the attention to detail that production financial infrastructure demands; a single misconfigured variable or secret is a latent bug a client will find later.

Web Application Operations:
Take over deployment and management of our client‑facing web application environments, including CI/CD, environment provisioning and regular contract and application upgrades.

Blockchain Node Operations:
Run and maintain Ethereum node software in production including Ethereum L1 nodes and Reth‑based execution client instances where we are the sole operator of the state. Keep them in sync, snapshot and restore them, run read replicas, handle reorgs, and know what to watch for before it becomes a problem.

ZK Proving Infrastructure:
Operate the proving pipeline that runs alongside our execution client, including managing and monitoring a GPU cluster. You do not need to understand the cryptography; you do need to keep a heterogeneous, GPU‑heavy workload healthy, scalable and observable.

Site Reliability & Observability:
Build the monitoring, dashboards and alerting we will need to demonstrate uptime against client SLAs for both conventional web metrics and chain‑specific health (sync distance, block times, time since last block, proving throughput). Design and test backups, disaster recovery, multi‑AZ and multi‑region resilience, and traffic failover.
