About Us 
Chainlink Labs is the primary contributing developer of Chainlink, the decentralized computing platform powering the verifiable web. Chainlink is the industry-standard platform for providing access to real-world data, offchain computation, and secure cross-chain interoperability across any blockchain. Chainlink Labs helps power verifiable applications for banking, DeFi, global trade, and gaming by collaborating with some of the world’s largest financial institutions, notably Swift, DTCC, and ANZ. Chainlink Labs also works with top Web3 teams, including Aave, Compound, GMX, Maker, and Synthetix. Chainlink Labs was ranked in Newsweek’s 100 Most Loved Workplaces 2023 in both the United States and United Kingdom.

The Engineering Team
At Chainlink Labs, our engineering team pushes the scale and capabilities of decentralized applications across the industry. The Chainlink Network holds >70% market share in the oracle space, solving real-world problems by enabling smart contracts to securely interact with off-chain data/computation.

We value talented and driven craftsmen who work collaboratively to tackle complex challenges, deliver product impact, and grow as builders. Join us and shape the future of blockchain technology and decentralized finance. 

All roles with Chainlink Labs are globally remote based. We encourage you to apply regardless of your location.

The Infrastructure Platform team enables Chainlink development and empowers engineers to continue building and supporting crucial products and services that have a profound impact in the blockchain industry. Recently, Chainlink crossed $7 trillion TVE (total value enabled) as an undisputed leader in the oracle space. Reliability is vital to the success of our company. As a staff SRE, you will help us accelerate and enable other engineering teams by increasing self-service and decreasing cognitive load. Key initiatives surrounding our mission include architecting and building a services catalog and an internal developer platform. 

This job would be perfect for someone who has a strong DevOps mentality, is passionate about building and maintaining a mature GitOps environment, and has experience building and growing an internal developer platform. The entire engineering team is expanding, and you would have plenty of opportunities to build, learn, and grow.

We are distributed across time zones and continents, and we embrace remote work. Our on-call rotation uses the follow-the-sun pattern: you will be on-call some of the time, but your shifts will be during your day and our team is large. 

We all have different backgrounds and are determined to help you succeed no matter where you are or who you are. If you think you would do a great job at Chainlink, we are looking forward to speaking with you, even if you don't match 100% of the job requirements: those describe people we've usually had a great time working with, but they're not a tick-box exercise.

Your Impact
  • Build and orchestrate large, distributed infrastructure 
  • Ensure reliability, security, and performance exceed our defined SLAs
  • Understand what a successful internal developer platform looks like and continue to build and expand upon it from a product and customer focused mindset 
  • Work with engineers from across the company to help troubleshoot issues, deploy new products and services, and increase velocity while decreasing cognitive load
  • Provide technical leadership across numerous engineering teams
  • Champion reliability and security by taking the time to do your work right the first time

  • Requirements
  • 5+ years of relevant professional experience. You probably have worked on a devops, infrastructure, SRE, and/or platform team before
  • Ability to develop software outside of the scope of typical infrastructure requirements and configurations
  • Have led large cross-team initiatives and can demonstrate a successful track record with quantifiable metrics that impact the business
  • Experience programming in C, C++, Java, Python, Go, Perl, or Ruby
  • Expert knowledge in all aspects of designing, developing, and managing large real-time systems
  • Experience with monitoring and logging. You know how to export metrics using Prometheus, have built a Grafana dashboard or two, and have experience with a centralized logging solution like an ELK Stack, Splunk or LogDNA
  • Experience with distributed systems and container orchestration. You have maintained or even built Kubernetes clusters before and feel comfortable deploying complete new services on them
  • Strong communication skills. You can give and receive constructive feedback, and you do not shy away from planning meetings and code reviews
  • Familiar with most tools from our stack (see below)

  • Desired Qualifications
  • Excitement for blockchain, Web 3.0, and similar decentralized technologies. 
  • Experience running any infrastructure in the blockchain/web3 space
  • Ability to scale systems sustainably through mechanisms like automation, and evolve systems by pushing for changes that improve reliability and velocity
  • Experience with internal developer platforms and service catalogs
  • Experience with setting team priorities (OKRs) and aligning business processes required to get a product/service from ideation to production (PRD, RFC, etc) 
  • Experience working remotely in a distributed team
  • A strong desire to grow and challenge yourself. We would expect you to constantly find ways to improve and automate services to reduce toil
  • Our Stack
    Some of the tools and services we use daily or almost daily are:
