ABOUT US

We are one of the pioneers in the Crypto space and at the forefront with builders and communities co-creating the next evolution of the internet.
Our vision is to enable Crypto to build a culture for everyone. We do so by building the underlying infrastructure and investing in projects that foster a fairer and more decentralized world.
We are a diverse, fun-loving, international team of doers, tinkerers, and technology enthusiasts with a diverse set of backgrounds.
As an independent, bootstrapped company, we have the freedom to call our own shots and put our team at the heart of our company.
While we are based in Munich, we are a remote-first company and our team spreads across the whole globe. As such, we regularly meet up at conferences or company retreats in order to closely knit the team together.
If you see yourself fit in our open position, we’d love to get to know you!

Since we are a start-up and the fact that we put our employees first, you can always grow and peek beyond your role so that continuous personal development is guaranteed.

That being said, your primary responsibility is to maintain and operate our distributed Ethereum staking infrastructure. This role involves ensuring the stability, security and efficiency of the infrastructure by performing various tasks related to node management self-responsibly. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Node setup, configuration and maintenance
• Validator health monitoring and performance optimizations based on on-chain data
• Understand the Ethereum roadmap, especially changes introduced through EIPs and proactively adapt our setup
• Develop Infrastructure as Code automation using Ansible and Terraform
• Implement and maintain security, business continuity and disaster recovery measures
• Collaborate with node operators, infrastructure operators and other stakeholders
• Be involved in the communication with our clients and partners
• Be part of our on-call duty rotation
