DevOps Engineer Lead (Web3)

• Plan, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), including Kubernetes cluster management, container orchestration, networking/security, performance optimization, and scaling.

• Automation & CI/CD

• CI/CD: Own GitHub Actions pipelines for core services; create/maintain Infrastructure as Code; automate builds/tests/deploys, release/versioning, and security scans.
• End-to-end testing: Own Docker/Compose-based E2E environments integrated with CI; seed realistic data and gate releases on failures.

• Core ENS services

• Metadata service: Operate and harden metadata.ens.domains(HA, caching, secrets, rollouts, SLOs).
• CCIP-Read gateways: Deploy/scale gateways, manage signing keys/rotation, monitor off-chain lookups/latency, uphold SLAs.
• Indexing: Run ENSIndexer across L1/L2 with private RPCs; manage Postgres (tuning, backups, schema changes); keep indexing lag low.
• Namechain/L2: Stand up and maintain L2 nodes; plan upgrades, snapshots, and monitoring; coordinate with external providers (RPC, provers).

• Reliability, security, and collaboration

• Instrument on-chain/service metrics; build alerts/dashboards; lead incident response and post-mortems.
• Enforce least-privilege access, secret hygiene, and key custody for gateways and infra.
• Partner with protocol/app engineers; maintain runbooks and concise architecture docs

Do you have experience in TypeScript?, * 5+ years in DevOps/SRE/Infra running production systems (Kubernetes/containers) on AWS and/or GCP

• Strong CI/CD with GitHub Actions; hands-on with IaC (Terraform/Pulumi/Ansible)
• Automation in TypeScript/Node, Python, or Go
• Observability you've shipped: metrics, logs, alerts, dashboards (Prometheus/Grafana + centralized logging)
• Postgres basics (migrations, performance, backups) and Redis caching
• Security-first operator: Familiar with industry standards and best practices; able to serve as front-line triage for production/security issues and escalate when appropriate.
• Familiar with Ethereum/L2 concepts and operating nodes/RPC-driven services
• Clear communicator who documents well and thrives in a remote, async environment.

Its a Plus If You Have

• Shipped or contributed to ENS, CCIP-Read gateways, ENSNode/ENSIndexer, or Ponder-style indexers
• Hands-on with zkEVM/rollups (Linea, Scroll, zkSync), prover/verification infra, or cross-chain messaging
• Experience hosting/operating provers or managing relationships with node/prover providers
• Familiarity with trust-minimized gateways and key/cert rotation patterns
• Meaningful open-source contributions showcasing operational depth

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralized, permissionless naming system built on the Ethereum blockchain that enables human-readable names (like "myname.eth") to be linked to standard Ethereum addresses and other distributed systems. As one of the first protocols built on Ethereum, ENS has enabled over 3 million registered .eth names, and over another 20 million ENS names from teams such as Coinbase, Uniswap, and Linea, as well as integrations with hundreds of other apps, wallets, protocols, and browsers in the crypto ecosystem. ENS Labs has been driving the core development of the ENS protocol since 2018. We created the ENS app, open-source libraries, and core smart contracts. We are on a mission to make crypto-powered experiences as easy and accessible as browsing the web. Join us as we build the next iteration of our protocol, ENSv2, and pioneer a more decentralized, flexible, and scalable ENS for the future.
