The Role
Veda is the DeFi engine powering financial apps enabling platforms to seamlessly create on-chain yield products. Our mission is to unlock DeFi for the world by providing seamless, enterprise-grade integrations for modern finance. Veda's technology powers many of DeFi's largest vault products, including ether.fi Liquid, PlasmaUSD Vault, Lombard DeFi Vault, and Mantle cmETH.
At $6B in TVL and 100k+ users, Veda is one of the fastest growing DeFi protocols that launched in 2024. Our team is passionate about DeFi and dedicated to our work. This role will be high impact and have the opportunity to directly shape some of the most critical infrastructure in DeFi.
Role
You’ll play a key role in designing and operating the core infrastructure that keeps Veda running reliably at scale. You’ll help build a resilient, multi-cluster, GitOps-driven Kubernetes platform and secure CI/CD pipelines that enable rapid, safe deployments across our ecosystem.
This is a high-impact role where your work directly supports some of the most critical infrastructure in DeFi. You’ll collaborate with a passionate, mission-driven team to deliver secure, scalable, and automated systems that make DeFi accessible to the world.
Key Responsibilities
- Design & operate a highly-available, multi-cluster, GitOps-driven Kubernetes platform.
- Own & evolve CI/CD pipelines that ship containerized microservices from PR → prod with built-in security gates and progressive delivery (blue/green, canary).
- Deliver paved-road IaC modules (Terraform / Pulumi) for cloud infra (e.g. managed data-stores, observability back-ends, and security controls).
- Champion security practices across the entire SDLC—policy-as-code, image provenance, secrets hygiene, zero-trust networking, etc.
Qualifications
- 5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering running production Kubernetes clusters.
- IaC & GitOps mastery: Terraform or Pulumi plus Argo CD / Flux for declarative cluster management.
- Deep expertise with a major cloud provider (AWS or GCP) and its managed Kubernetes service (EKS / GKE), including VPC design, IAM, and cost governance.
- Production-grade CI/CD pipelines : Docker / BuildKit, immutable artifacts, and progressive rollout strategies.
- Networking & security fundamentals: service-mesh design, Pod Security Standards, least-privilege IAM, and secrets management (Vault, AWS KMS).
- Observability engineering : Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, Loki, Tempo or Jaeger, plus OpenTelemetry instrumentation.
- Shift-left & secure supply-chain: container/IaC scanning, image signing & verification (cosign / notation), and provenance attestations (SLSA).
- Policy-as-code & runtime hardening: OPA / Gatekeeper or Kyverno for PSP replacement, and fine-grained NetworkPolicies with mTLS service meshes (Istio, Cilium).
- Incident ownership: on-call participation, root-cause analysis, and delivery of blameless post-mortems with actionable follow-ups.
- Fluency in Go, Python, or Bash for reusable automation tooling.
Nice to haves
- Experience operating Web3 / DeFi node infrastructure
- Managing Nitro Enclaves, Cloud HSM, or third-party solutions for secure signing
- Experience meeting SOC 2, ISO 27001, MAS TRM, or MiCA controls for crypto infrastructure.
