Senior / Staff Software Engineer - Infrastructure

Job Description

The Role

As an Infrastructure Engineer, you'll build and deploy massive computational infrastructure that positions Boundless as the leading decentralized proving network.. You'll architect GPU clusters at unprecedented scale, orchestrate proving across every major blockchain, and manage the complex systems that power billions of cycles of ZK proofs daily. This role demands expertise in both bare-metal optimization and cloud-native architectures.

What You'll Do

• Build Massive Proving Clusters: Design and deploy proving infrastructure with 1000s of GPUs across both on-premises data centers and cloud services (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• Orchestrate Multi-Chain Proving: Build infrastructure that coordinates proving workloads across every major blockchain, ensuring optimal resource allocation and throughput
• Optimize Container Topology: Design and refine the topology of complex containerized services, maximizing efficiency and minimizing latency in proof generation
• Bare Metal Engineering: Work at the hardware level, optimizing GPU performance, managing CUDA installations, and tuning kernel parameters for maximum throughput
• Cloud Infrastructure: Architect highly available, auto-scaling cloud infrastructure that can dynamically respond to proving demand across multiple regions
• Release Management: Manage deployment pipelines and release schedules for complex distributed software, ensuring zero-downtime upgrades
• Performance Monitoring: Build comprehensive monitoring and alerting systems to track GPU utilization, proof generation metrics, and system health
• Cost Optimization: Implement strategies to minimize infrastructure costs while maintaining performance, including spot instance management and resource scheduling

Requirements

• 5+ years of infrastructure/DevOps experience with 2+ years managing large-scale GPU clusters
• Experience with both on-premises compute operations and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure)
• Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi)
• Deep expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration at scale
• Experience with GPU computing infrastructure (CUDA)
• Experience releasing complex software to communities, including building and packaging AMIs, Docker images, binaries, and maintaining distribution channels
• Track record of managing mission-critical, high-throughput systems
• Strong Linux systems administration and bare-metal optimization skills
• Proficiency in Rust and low-level systems programming 

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with ZK proof generation or blockchain infrastructure
• Experience operating cryptocurrency mining or ML training infrastructure
• Knowledge of network optimization and topology design
• Experience with multi-region, globally distributed systems

Benefits
