Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) I

About the Company

Responsibilities

• ● ABOUT CONSENSYS
• ● Consensys Incorporated is an independent blockchain infrastructure company, spun out of Consensys Software Inc. - one of the world's leading blockchain technology companies and the primary development organization behind the Ethereum ecosystem.
• ● We build and operate neutral, institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure that connects banks, asset managers, custodians, and financial market infrastructures to digital asset networks, meeting the non-negotiable standards of institutional finance: privacy, scalability, resilience, security, and regulatory readiness.
• ● WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS
• ● Consensys Incorporated operates production blockchain infrastructure for financial institutions. Those networks don't stop at 18:00 CET, and today our infrastructure team sits mostly in Europe. This role closes that gap: you are our engineer on the ground when Europe is asleep.
• ● This is a coverage-first role. Roughly 60% incident response, monitoring and operational hardening; 40% build work on the platform. If you want a pure greenfield engineering job, this isn't it - but you will be the first person in the timezone, which means you help design the rota rather than inherit it.
• ● WHAT YOU'LL OWN
• ● Front-line operational coverage for production networks during APAC hours - monitoring, triage, escalation, and running incidents to resolution.
• ● Participation in (and help designing) a follow-the-sun on-call rota alongside the European team, replacing the arrangement we're transitioning off.
• ● Deployment and maintenance windows scheduled in APAC hours: node upgrades, chain releases, coordinated maintenance.
• ● Runbooks, alert tuning and observability improvements - specifically, turning the things you get paged for into things nobody gets paged for.
• ● Platform build work between incidents: Kubernetes, GitOps, IaC, CI/CD pipelines.
• ● Being the operational contact for APAC-based client and partner teams.
• ● FIRST 90 DAYS
• ● Ramp on the stack. Realistically this takes three months - Kubernetes, ArgoCD/GitOps, Ethereum clients, the Linea stack (sequencer, coordinator, prover), ZK proving. We will not put you on a pager before you're ready.
• ● Shadow European incidents, then run them.
• ● Take the first APAC on-call shift and write the runbook gaps you find.
• ● WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
• ● + years in DevOps/SRE/platform engineering, including real production on-call for a system with an external SLA.
