About Caldera

Caldera enables dynamic, scalable blockchain experiences. Currently, dapps that are deployed to general-purpose blockchain compete with thousands of other applications for space on the network — this can lead to congestion and high fees or even network outages.

That’s where we come in. We’re building software that makes it easy for the most innovative blockchain applications to launch their own ultra-performant blockchains (rollups), enabling applications to own their ecosystem, scale to millions of users, and provide a superior user experience to their users.

We’re located in San Francisco, and work in-person from the Financial District

As a Senior Distributed Systems Engineer (Infrastructure) at Caldera, you will :

Architect and develop backend systems to ensure the smooth operation of Caldera chains

Improve our DevOps pipeline, which allows Caldera chains to be deployed reliably and securely

Increase the reliability of our infrastructure by continuously improving the observability stack

Build highly reliable and performant RPC infrastructure designed to handle billions of requests per day

You might be a fit for this role if you...

Have 4 years of engineering experience

Have experience writing distributed systems in Go

Have experience with cloud technologies, especially Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Helm

Hands-on experience with cloud / infrastructure providers, including AWS, Vercel, and Cloudflare

Are confident with performance optimization, identifying bottlenecks and scalability concerns

Have familiarity with observability tools like Grafana or Datadog

Bonus points if you...

Are familiar with how blockchains like Ethereum or Bitcoin work under the hood

Are up-to-date with Ethereum scaling solutions such as sidechains or rollups

Have an understanding of cryptography primitives, such as hash functions or digital signatures

Have built Ethereum “dapps” before

If in doubt, please apply! We will find a place for great candidates, even if you feel that you don’t check all of the boxes
