Senior System Engineer; f​/m​/x

Overview

At Staking Facilities, we’ve been building at the frontier of blockchain infrastructure since 2017. Now, we’re looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to help operate, secure, and scale the systems that power our validator and blockchain network operations. You’ll join a small, high-impact infra team working closely with our CTO — the team that keeps the engine running and fixes things fast.

Your work will span everything from routine maintenance to urgent incident response, network design, and hands-on work with cutting-edge technologies. No two weeks will look the same.

This role is perfect for someone with exceptional Linux and systems engineering skills, a curious and hands-on mindset, and the ability to bring clarity, ownership, and stability to complex technical environments. You’ll help ensure uptime, improve architecture, and evolve the operational backbone of one of Europe’s most respected blockchain infrastructure companies. It’s a fantastic opportunity to grow with a tight-knit team while gaining deep exposure to the world of blockchain, distributed systems, and high-performance infrastructure.

You’ll become part of an Infra team of 3 working closely with our CTO. You’re the team that keeps the engine running and fixes things fast. Your work will vary, and you’ll get your hands on lots of new tech.

• Ensure uptime and performance of blockchain network infrastructure

• Own routine and emergency maintenance including updates and patches

• Monitor systems proactively and respond quickly to alerts or incidents

• Investigate and mitigate outages or downtime with urgency

• Design and improve network architecture and workflows

• Configure and maintain network hardware, bare metal servers, and firewalls

• Set up and maintain load balancers and secure networking practices

• Continuously develop operational processes and documentation

• You are an experienced systems or infrastructure engineer with hero level Linux skills

• The only hard requirement is “LINUX” but Ansible, Terraform and bare metal are all nice to have

• You have hands on experience setting up firewalls and load balancers

• You’re no stranger to networking and architecture

• Able to independently manage, troubleshoot, and improve systems performance

• Crypto/blockchain experience is welcome but not required, we hire for potential and mindset

• Entrepreneurial mindset with high initiative and flexibility to adapt

• You need to be prepared to cover on call duties (fairly divided by the 3 in the team)

• Open to occasional travel and enjoy working in a distributed, self-directed team

• You don’t have to be the life of the party, but enjoying time with your teammates matters to us. We’re a team that values staying small enough to always feel connected, no sprawling headcounts here

• Excellent package with long term career growth opportunity in a pioneering blockchain infrastructure company

• You'll work with cutting edge infrastructure, validator technologies, and top-tier protocol ecosystems

• A socially and ethically responsible employer, pushing boundaries but not at the cost of the planet

• A high trust, remote first culture with a base in Munich and a globally distributed team

• 30 days holiday plus bank holidays

• Flexible working hours

• Fully paid for team events and conferences such as Solana Break point, Solana Accelerate, Berlin Blockchain Week, Sui Base Camp

• Your peers bring strong expertise and a collaborative mindset, always eager to expand their skills, just like you

• Budget and support for personal learning, growth, and skills development

• A friendly, diverse, and values-led team that prioritizes doing meaningful work

We’re a pioneer in the Crypto space, supporting builders and communities to co-create a more decentralized and equitable internet. Our vision is to enable Crypto to build a culture for everyone. We do so by building the underlying infrastructure and investing in projects that foster a fairer and more decentralized world. We are a diverse, fun-loving, international team of doers, tinkerers, and technology enthusiasts with a diverse set of backgrounds.

As an independent, bootstrapped company, we have the freedom to call our own shots and put our team at the heart of our company. While we are based in Munich, we are a remote-first company and our team spreads across the whole globe. As such, we regularly meet up at conferences or company retreats to closely knit the team together.

If this sounds like the kind of team you'd thrive in, we'd love to hear from you. Everyone will receive a response to their application.
