Who You Are:

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll own the infrastructure that runs institutional-grade blockchain operations — with particular depth in Ethereum validator infrastructure, consensus and execution client operations, and the platform layer that makes all of it reliable, observable, and scalable.

This isn't a role where blockchain is adjacent to the real work. Validator clusters,client diversity, MEV infrastructure, slashing protection, and the operationalcomplexity of running Ethereum at institutional scale are core to what you'll buildand maintain. That sits alongside the broader platform stack: Kubernetes (EKS,GitOps with FluxCD), AWS, Kafka, secrets and key management (KMS/HSM,MPC), Postgres, and the observability layer. You'll also work closely with clients —understanding their systems, translating requirements into platform capabilities,and collaborating on integrations.

What You’ll Do:

Own and operate Ethereum validator infrastructure at scale — consensus clients (Lighthouse, Prysm, Teku, Nimbus), execution clients (Geth,Nethermind, Besu, Reth), and the tooling that keeps them healthy, diverse, and performant.

Build and maintain the platform layer underneath validator operations: cluster lifecycle management, client upgrades, peer connectivity, fork tracking, and the observability stack that surfaces what matters.

Manage slashing protection, key management, and signer infrastructure (Web3Signer, distributed validators, HSM/MPC-backed signing) at the level of rigor institutional staking demands.
