Senior Infrastructure Engineer

We are looking for a talented and motivated Infrastructure Engineer to join the team at Mina Protocol. We are building the first cryptocurrency protocol with a succinct blockchain, enabling greater access and ease of adoption than other protocols. This is a chance to join a small, collaborative team and have a ton of independence while working on fascinating cross-disciplinary problems in computing. 

O(1) Labs is a blockchain technology company that has successfully incubated the Mina Protocol. The company is now looking to start the next stage of its journey as the world’s premier SNARK application developer. We are looking for an experienced Senior Infrastructure Engineer.

The Role:

• Mainstream cryptocurrencies handle large amounts of value exchange each day. As a result, rigorous security practices, thorough testing, and rock-solid infrastructure are of paramount importance. We're seeking an Infrastructure or Dev Ops engineer who wants to use modern tools like Terraform, Kubernetes, and Docker to develop the core tooling we use to test, monitor, secure, and stabilize our growing cryptocurrency network.
• We’re hiring engineers to work on a bunch of exciting projects, including:
• Advancing our testing environment that can simulate network performance with thousands of machines across variable network conditions
• Creating the core machine images we use to streamline onboarding new network nodes
• Developing sophisticated diagnostic systems that continuously monitor network performance and provide visibility into network health
• Designing robust, self-healing systems that ensure the health and stability of a fledgling cryptocurrency network under intense network loads or highly adversarial environments
• No prior cryptocurrency experience is necessary.

The ideal candidate will be motivated and will have experience or interest in any of the following:

• Docker
• AWS/Google Cloud
• Distributed systems
• Functional programming
• Testing
• Security
• Cryptography
• Cryptocurrency
• Kubernetes
• Terraform
• Ansible
• Nix package management
• MirageOS
• Experience in Security and/or Distributed systems is a plus.  
• However, there are no hard requirements; we're more interested in learning about your individual background.

About Us

O(1) Labs is aiming to develop the first cryptocurrency protocol that can deliver on the promise of supporting real-world applications and widespread use. Our team is based in San Francisco, and we are funded by top investors (including Polychain, Metastable, Max Levchin, and Naval Ravikant).

We're bringing Mina Protocol to market, a cryptocurrency that compresses the blockchain from hundreds of gigabytes down to the size of a few tweets. It can scale to thousands of transactions per second and millions of users while remaining decentralized enough for cellphones to be fully verifying nodes.

We're working on technologies with the potential to reimagine social structures. We believe in and are dedicated to incorporating diverse perspectives from conception through realization. We offer competitive compensation both in salary and equity as well as top-of-the-market benefits.

We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive company. People of color, LGBTQ individuals, women, and people with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.
