This role sits on our Infrastructure Engineering team, at the intersection of crypto networks, infrastructure, and security. You’ll lead launches of next-gen protocols for our team, harden our systems against real-world threats, and invent tools that push the entire ecosystem forward. It’s hands-on, high-impact work focused on having zero legacy drag — just clean builds, smart peers, and the chance to shape the future of secure crypto infra.
Note: This is a software engineering role first and foremost — not a traditional DevOps or IT infrastructure position. We're looking for folks with a strong development background who are excited to build, not just support, systems.
What You’ll Be DoingLaunch New Networks — Own the end-to-end launch of bleeding-edge crypto networks. You’ll design secure patterns, templates, and tools that scale — from first commit to mainnet.
Secure by Design — Build systems that put security front and center. You'll ship security automation and tools that support resilient participation across networks.
Invent as You Go — Crypto doesn’t come with a playbook. You’ll solve novel, high-impact problems, and create solutions the space will benefit from.
Build with Others — No silos here. You’ll work closely with a tight-knit team of engineers to eliminate single points of failure — technical, operational, or human.
Explore What’s Next — New protocols emerge fast. You’ll keep us ahead by identifying and rolling into the next big use cases in crypto.
Experience running highly-available, public-facing infra — ideally 5 to 7 years.
Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure, plus a strong bias for automation, scale, and segmentation.
Strong grasp of security risk, with a track record of designing protections that actually work.
Working knowledge of crypto infra and proof-of-stake protocols.
Languages: Go, TypeScript, Rust
Infra & Ops: Terraform, Ansible, Containers, Prometheus, Grafana
Cloud: GCP, AWS
Networks: Bittensor, Berachain, Cosmos/CometBFT-based chains, and more

What We Do
Unit 410 is an experienced team of security, infrastructure, and cryptocurrency engineers. We empower the largest stakeholders to use their crypto in secure and novel ways. To do so, we build institutional-grade systems and solutions for secure network participation. Before Unit 410, we’ve worked at companies like Coinbase, Google, and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
We’ve long believed in the potential of cryptocurrency and are excited to continue pushing forward the state of the art through industry-leading key generation, encryption, and network participation. As we engineer systems and solutions, we often find pieces that we think should exist. So we build them, and whenever possible share those back with the community.
