Senior Infrastructure Engineer

Engineering

Job description

Before you read the details of this role, there’s something you should know. At Matter Labs, we don’t see ourselves as a company, but as a highly aligned global team on a single mission: to accelerate the mass adoption of crypto for personal sovereignty. 

Our core technology – zkSync Era – is a layer 2 rollup that uses advanced cryptography called zero-knowledge proofs to scale Ethereum without compromising on security or decentralization. zkSync Era is EVM compatible, which means projects on Ethereum and other EVM-based blockchains can easily deploy on zkSync Era to take advantage of low gas fees and high transaction speeds.

With a total of $458 million in mission-driven funding, zkSync Era is the first EVM-compatible ZK Rollup to go live on testnet (February 2022) and be deployed on mainnet (October 2022). As we enter the endgame for Ethereum scaling, we are committed to full open source and building in public toward our stated mission [so that even if we fail, the community and the ecosystem will benefit from our contribution].

  • Experience withInfrastructure as Code (Terraform and ecosystem around it) and cloud computing platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure, etc)
  • Extensive experience with industry standard of container orchestration - Kubernetes, understanding of Docker and/or containerd internalsExperience with monitoring, logging, tracing, or continuous profiling platforms
  • Demonstrated proficiency in creating and maintaining complex observability platforms for highly-loaded systems, with expertise in monitoring and logging.
  • Solid understanding of networking, security, and web protocol
  • Experience with blockchain technology is a plus but not essential 
  • Familiarity with tracing and continuous profiling will be considered a significant bonus

About Matter Labs

We are scaling Ethereum with zero-knowledge proofs. This is the most viable technology to enable the mainstream adoption of public blockchains. Our mission is to accelerate this ongoing financial revolution.

zkSync is in production since Summer 2020, with growing usage. It makes crypto payments cheaper today, and it will soon be used to scale arbitrary smart contracts — imagine Solidity in a ZK rollup!

Everything we build is open source.

We're always looking for exceptional talent (expect the bar to be high). Check out our open positions, or just reach out if our mission, challenges and culture resonate with you.

You will be working together with world-class experts in cryptography, hardware, compilers, and blockchain protocols
