Clearmatics mission is to build peer-to-peer infrastructure for a machine-driven future that is resistant to the monopoly-making tendencies of network effects inherent in today's client-server architectures. We call our technology approach 'decentralized automation', which combines cryptography, consensus protocols and economic mechanism design.

We're looking to hire a Senior DevOps Engineer to expand our team. You will be working with the Engineering team on DevOps strategy, design, and implementation.

As a Senior Devops Engineer, you will define and implement processes and technologies that will support delivering the core Clearmatics product.

You will help Engineering teams to go faster, whilst ensuring quality is maintained through Continuous Integration and Delivery. You are naturally curious and continuously looking to improve.

You should have more than a passing interest in the Ethereum or cryptocurrency space, with contributions to Open Source Projects being a distinct plus.

You should be able to reason about technical problems, argue thoughtfully and contribute in a team setting.

You will be responsible for the following:

• Defining best practices and methodologies for agnostic cloud architectures
• Defining packaging approaches and release management
• Defining release processes for regulated environments
• Defining deployment strategies
• Monitoring, notification, and alerting systems
• Knowledge transfer and mentoring other team members
