[Hiring] Senior DevOps Engineer @Nillion

Nillion is a web3 infrastructure project based on a novel cryptographic innovation called Nil Message Compute (see presentation at Cambridge University). The new technology enables Information-Theoretic Secure decentralized data storage and computation.

As reported by TechCrunch, Nillion raised $25 million at a $180 million valuation in the midst of the bear market of 2022 - the highest valuation for a Seed Round reported in Q4-2022. The project has attracted some of the top talent in tech, including the Founding Engineer of Uber (Conrad Whelan), Founder of Indiegogo (Slava Rubin), Associate General Counsel of Coinbase (Lindsay Danas Cohen), Co-Founder of Hedera Hashgraph (Andrew Masanto) and several other high profile team members. The project has also won several industry awards, including the CoinList Seed Program (see CoinList Tweet here) and Polygon Co-Founder’s Web3 Accelerator Program, Beacon.

Nillion is bringing to life fast, permissionless, decentralized secure storage and private computation that fundamentally improves the way that data is processed, analyzed and shared. The protocol is looking for talented engineers to join its team in building that vision.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Nillion, you will work on internally focused cloud infrastructure and externally focused deployment kits for node operators.This role at Nillion will play a critical role in bringing to life a new security, storage and computation model for sensitive data across a decentralized publicly accessible network. Expertise across all areas of computer science will thus be needed.

Nillion is a remote-first organization primarily focused on European and US East Coast time zones. Some travel may be required.
