[Hiring] Senior DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer @Startale Group

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer to own the infrastructure, deployment, and operational systems behind StartaleApp, Strium, and other products across the Startale ecosystem. This is a senior, hands-on role: you design, build, and operate production infrastructure end to end, from cloud and Kubernetes to CI/CD, databases, observability, and security.

You will work primarily on two demanding products:

• StartaleApp: A user-facing Web3 wallet and application platform whose backend combines traditional cloud services and databases with blockchain nodes, indexers, and transaction processing.
• Strium: Built with SBI Group, a next-generation decentralized exchange bringing Japanese equities onchain, with a fully onchain order book and a consensus layer purpose-built for low-latency, high-throughput trading.

Both run under high load, strict availability and security requirements, and real production conditions. We want someone who builds infrastructure rather than maintains it: comfortable making architectural decisions, automating everything that repeats, and diagnosing complex production issues. Experience running blockchain infrastructure is a significant advantage, and a SecOps or cloud security background is a major plus.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in DevOps, SRE, platform, or infrastructure engineering.
• A track record of building and operating production infrastructure for highly available systems, where availability directly affected users or the business.
• Deep hands-on Kubernetes, AWS, and Linux experience.
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform, GitOps practices, and CI/CD pipeline design.
• Solid networking fundamentals: DNS, load balancing, TLS, service discovery.
• PostgreSQL in production: replication, backups, recovery, performance.
• High-availability design, incident response, root-cause analysis, and capacity planning.
• Hands-on experience operating blockchain infrastructure (nodes, RPC, indexers, validators, or data pipelines) and an understanding of how distributed blockchain networks fail.

Requirements

• Security: SecOps or cloud security experience, hardening production environments, AWS security services and IAM design.
• Platform breadth: bare-metal operations, Helm or ArgoCD, messaging systems such as Kafka or NATS, observability stacks such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or OpenTelemetry.
• Blockchain depth: operating chain infrastructure at significant scale; Ethereum, Polkadot, or L2 ecosystems.
• Domain: financial, trading, or other latency-sensitive systems; using AI tools in infrastructure workflows; Go, Rust, or TypeScript.

Benefits

• Build and operate the core infrastructure behind StartaleApp and Strium, including a DEX designed for high-throughput, low-latency trading.
• One role spanning cloud, Kubernetes, distributed systems, databases, and blockchain infrastructure.
• Significant ownership and direct product impact in a small, highly technical team.
• Competitive compensation and equity.
