What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior DevOps Engineer position at Eigen Labs?
Eigen Labs is more than just a leading name in the blockchain space. We’re the driving force behind EigenLayer, a game-changing solution that revolutionizes crypto-economic security. Imagine a world where blockchain projects break free from the shackles of the scaling trilemma and capital limitations.
We’re building a platform to deliver security to novel distributed applications. In today's blockchain ecosystem, each service is typically secured by its own tokenized trust-network. With EigenLayer, services can build upon the established security of the Ethereum trust network, unlocking untold scalability while maintaining security and decentralization.
The Role
Our Marketplace team is scaling up as we seek out innovative thinkers and infrastructure engineers to join us on our mission to hyperscale Ethereum. As a member of this team, you will play a critical role in developing and delivering robust cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and tooling for the expanding EigenLayer ecosystem.
This is an opportunity to be a technical thought leader, drive infrastructure innovations, accelerate the productivity and practices of a top-tier team that drives significant economic activity on EigenLayer. Plus, you’ll grow with a team of talented collaborators while buckling in for hypergrowth!
If you enjoy being challenged by the complexity of distributed systems, blockchain infrastructure and problems for a diverse segment of technical users, we want to hear from you!
What You Will Do

There's one more, very important thing. We are an equal opportunity employer. We search for amazing people of diverse backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. We take care of each other to create an inclusive work environment where we love to come to work every day. We hope you can join us.
