Job Description

At Anchorage Digital, we are building the foundational rails for the future of digital assets. You won't just be "keeping the lights on," you will treat our internal infrastructure as a product and our engineering team as your customers.
 
As a Member of Technical Staff on the Platform team, you’ll work at the intersection of infrastructure and developer experience (DevEx). You will help define the strategy for our monorepo build pipelines while simultaneously ensuring our hybrid cloud infrastructure is secure and performant. Internal developers will rely on the tools you build to get code to production smoothly, while the business will depend on the reliable runtime environment you provision. This role offers high cross-team exposure and the opportunity to solve complex distributed systems problems in a security-first environment.


You will:
  • Technical Skills:

  • Build the Platform: Design and implement next-gen CI/CD pipelines focusing on security, speed, and reliability.
  • Hybrid Networking: Define network architecture initiatives, creating abstractions for connectivity between physical Data Centers and Kubernetes clusters.
  • Cloud Architecture: Work with GCP to architect secure, scalable runtime environments and operate cost-efficient infrastructure.
  • Complexity and Impact of Work:

  • Developer Experience (DevEx): Measure and improve "DORA metrics" (Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes).
  • Modernization: Lead initiatives to migrate legacy network setups to modern, automated architectures.
  • Test Infrastructure: Build robust local and remote test environments (ephemeral environments) to boost developer confidence.
  • Communication and Influence

  • Collaboration: Work with external partners (ISPs, DC providers) and internal security teams to deliver secure solutions.
  • Advocacy: Champion best practices across CI/CD, network security, and observability.

  • You may be a fit for this role if you have:
  • Strong programming skills and a desire to stop manually SSH-ing into routers to start writing code instead.
  • Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration.
  • Experience building complex, performant CI/CD systems using toolchains like Bazel or Gradle.
  • A "crypto" mindset where the word stands for cryptography, not just cryptocurrency.

  • Although not a requirement, bonus points if:
  • Experience with setting up and monitoring private B2B connectivity.
  • Experience with ChromeOS or a background in the finance industry.
  • A passion for reading blockchain protocol white papers for fun
  • You were emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system. :)
