Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Somnia (Remote)Senior Infrastructure Engineer

About the Role: We're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to build and run Somnia's key backend services: the L1 and node fleet, RPC and indexing layers, product backends, and developer-facing services teams depend on. An SRE-minded role: you make reliability measurable, rollouts safe, and infrastructure repeatable, so every team can move fast without breaking things. You treat infrastructure as a product: automate relentlessly, measure everything, and leverage AI to accelerate development, operations, and incident response. Key Responsibilities: Define and maintain SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets, plus the observability—metrics, logs, traces and alerts—that catches regressions before users do. Build repeatable, self-service infrastructure through infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD and golden paths so teams can provision, deploy and recover without reinventing the wheel. Own rollouts end-to-end—progressive delivery, canaries, safe migrations and clean rollbacks. Operate the systems behind Somnia's nodes, validators, RPC and indexing, tuning for performance and cost across regions. Lead incident response and on-call, run blameless postmortems, and continuously harden the platform. Partner with product and protocol teams to design and operate production-ready services. You'll rotate between embedding with engineering teams and building the shared platform, tooling and operational standards that underpin the wider organisation. Requirements: Must Have

• Strong experience operating production infrastructure at scale (cloud and/or bare metal), with deep Linux fundamentals.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code such as Terraform or Pulumi, alongside configuration management.
• Experience running containers and orchestration platforms (Docker, Kubernetes) in production.
• Strong programming skills, ideally in Go and/or TypeScript, for building automation and internal tooling.
• Experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry or equivalents).
• Experience operating and monitoring distributed systems, including capacity planning and performance tuning.
• Comfortable operating in high-stakes production environments and responding to incidents.
• Genuine interest in crypto and on-chain systems.

• Experience operating blockchain node infrastructure (validators, RPC, archive nodes) for an L1/L2.
• Experience with high-performance networking, low-latency systems or load balancing at scale.
• Multi-region and geo-distributed deployments with failover strategies.
• Security and key management (HSMs, secrets management, hardening).
• EVM tooling and the wider Web3 infrastructure ecosystem.

What Success Looks Like

• Engineers can deploy safely and frequently with confidence.
• Platform reliability is measurable, with well-defined SLOs and continuously improving service health.
• Infrastructure is automated, repeatable and increasingly self-service.
• Incidents become less frequent, easier to diagnose and faster to resolve.
• Product teams spend more time shipping features and less time managing infrastructure.
