• Create runbooks for backfills, reindexing, and incident response.
• Collaborate with product, engineering and data teams to simplify and harden workflows.
• Prepare the platform for future scale, simulations, and automated execution in both DeFi and TradFi

What You Bring

• Proven DevOps/SRE experience, ideally in finance, fintech, or other regulated environments.

• Experience with incident management and post-incident reviews.

• Experience with or curiosity in blockchain or Web3 integrations, including RPCs, subgraphs, or provider failover.
• Familiarity with job orchestration and cost optimization.
• Knowledge of Kubernetes or cloud scaling in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
