⚡ Senior Site Reliability Engineer (Azure)
The Company

Storm2's client is a fast-growing software company at the centre of one of the more credible enterprise blockchain ecosystems in market, supporting a proof-of-stake public network governed by major institutions across 14 regions. They're now building a private, institutional-grade DLT network on top of that foundation, and need the infrastructure to match the ambition.

The Role

This is a greenfield Azure build for a production-grade distributed system. No inherited state, no compromises baked into decisions you weren't part of. You own the foundation: design it, build it, and make it enterprise-ready.

It's a high-autonomy seat. They're not looking for someone who executes tickets. The expectation is that you read an ambiguous requirement, ask the right questions, and come back with a plan. The six-to-twelve month bar is clear:
Azure becomes a production-ready deployment environment with repeatable, secure customer deployments. That's the mission.

What you'll be working on:
  • Designing and building secure, scalable Azure infrastructure for a production-grade distributed system from first principles
  • Owning Terraform-based infrastructure as code for repeatable, automated deployments
  • Translating product and customer requirements into concrete architecture and execution plans
  • Building platform services, APIs, and integrations that extend the network's capabilities
  • Contributing to observability, reliability, and incident response across production environments
  • Working cross-functionally with engineering, security, and product to deliver enterprise-ready solutions
What you'll bring:
  • Proven experience designing and shipping greenfield production systems on Azure (networking, compute, identity, security, storage)
  • Terraform at production scale, not just scripting
  • Programming experience in Go and/or Python
  • Experience building greenfield infrastructure environments, not just inheriting and extending
  • Background in distributed systems, high-availability architectures, or platform engineering
  • Strong communication across both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Nice to have:
  • Kubernetes and container orchestration
  • Observability tooling:
    Prometheus, Grafana
  • Workflow and orchestration platforms:
    Argo, Spacelift, or similar
