About the Role

As an engineer in the Infrastructure department at Alchemy, you will collaborate with our engineering team to design, deploy, and continuously improve the infrastructure supporting our globally used developer platform. Your focus will be on enhancing developer productivity and ensuring product reliability as we scale.

The Infrastructure team’s mission is to provide the infrastructure, tooling and expertise needed to allow Alchemy engineers to ship, scale and operate high quality products to our customers in a fast, safe and cost efficient manner.

Come and help us build, maintain and scale the underlying infrastructure that is required to build products that delight our customers when it comes to reliability, latency and cost.

What You'll Do
  • Architect and operate scalable infrastructure leveraging Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud-native tools.
  • Build and maintain automation pipelines for deployments, monitoring, and incident response.

  • Lead incident management, conducting root cause analyses and driving continuous reliability enhancements.

  • Develop observability frameworks using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, and tracing tools like Jaeger or OpenTelemetry.

  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to elevate the team’s operational capabilities.

What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience as an Infrastructure Engineer focused on reliability (e.g., Site Reliability Engineer, Production Engineer, Platform Engineer).

  • Experience leading and driving company-wide reliability efforts and engineering initiatives.

  • Strong familiarity with observability best practices and tooling like Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog.

  • Comfortable working with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).

  • Skilled with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Helm, and eager to improve automation.

  • Able to respond calmly and effectively to incidents, with a focus on learning and improving.

  • Strong communicator who can work well in cross-functional teams.

  • Curious about blockchain technology and distributed systems — not required but a plus.
