• Proficient Linux administration skills.
• Hands‑on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible) and programming languages (e.g., Bash and Python).
• Deep familiarity with monitoring, logging, and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK).
• Solid understanding of networking concepts (VPC, Load Balancers, DNS, Firewalls).
• Experience with Git Ops practices and CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with various blockchain architectures (Proof‑of‑Stake, Proof‑of‑Work, etc.) and node types (full nodes, validators, RPC nodes).
• Strong understanding of security practices within the blockchain ecosystem.

• Competitive salary package.
• Autonomy in your time management thanks to flexible working hours and the opportunity to work remotely.
• The freedom to create your own entrepreneurial experience by being part of a team of people in search of excellence.
