At Sifchain we are in the process of launching an Omnichain Decentralized Exchange. This is a unique technical undertaking that continues to attract interest and excitement from a multitude of well known investors in the blockchain sphere. In fact, the private sale round was oversubscribed within two days of its announcement. Investors recognize that our offering has unique benefits over both CEXes and existing DEXes, and has the potential to fundamentally change the DeFi ecosystem. The team is led by a blockchain architect from Thorchain, which raised its liquid market cap from $1M to over $150M in two years.
The blockchain engineering team at Sifchain is looking for a talented devops engineer to maintain a coordinate set of containers running on Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform. These containers run blockchain consensus software that secures billions of dollars every day. They must be highly secure to avoid security breaches, ensure privacy, and persist consistent transactions.
As a devops Engineer you’ll help us deploy blockchain nodes (called validators) on Kubernetes. You’ll optimize our validators’ reliability, security, and availability while connecting to peer validators run by members of other teams to collectively support a distributed, community owned network (the blockchain). You’ll help support low latency, real-time microservices that support data relay from one validator to each other, or to external API services where users can monitor the network health and other telemetric data.
