Job Description
This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of Ava Labs. We are currently looking for a Senior Platform Engineer in New York, NY.
Join a cutting-edge team driving the evolution of blockchain infrastructure with a focus on performance, reliability, and developer velocity. In this role, you will build the platforms and tools that empower core engineering teams to ship better code faster — from orchestrating ad-hoc blockchain networks to designing CI/CD pipelines and observability systems. You’ll operate at the intersection of systems engineering, infrastructure, and tooling, helping scale a distributed Web3 platform used globally. This is a highly impactful opportunity to build resilient systems that push the boundaries of decentralized technology.
Accountabilities:
- Design and maintain advanced CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, ensuring robust, fast, and scalable deployments.
- Develop tooling to enable the creation and management of ad-hoc Avalanche blockchain networks across local and distributed environments.
- Build observability frameworks capable of collecting, analyzing, and comparing system performance across multiple versions and configurations.
- Implement chaos engineering and fuzz testing to validate the stability and resilience of consensus algorithms and peer-to-peer protocols.
- Contribute to performance optimization efforts through strategic data collection and automated analysis.
- Collaborate across Platform Engineering to improve software quality and support large-scale development and testing initiatives.
- Drive internal developer productivity by building platforms that enable reliable testing, debugging, and deployment workflows.
Requirements
- 10+ years of programming experience, with at least 4 years working in large, collaborative codebases.
- 2+ years of experience with Go and/or Rust.
- Strong foundation in computer science, systems engineering, and software reliability.
- Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar tools (e.g., Jenkins, Travis CI, CircleCI).
- Experience writing end-to-end tests for complex distributed systems.
- Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code and observability solutions at scale.
- Deep understanding of Unix-based system programming and/or large-scale orchestration frameworks like Kubernetes.
- Passion for building tools that multiply the impact of engineering teams.
- Self-starter mindset with a balance of technical initiative and team collaboration.
- Curiosity or interest in Web3 and blockchain technologies.
Benefits
- Competitive salary range: $214,990 to $228,427 (final offer may vary based on experience and location).
- Fully remote work flexibility.
- Opportunity to work at the forefront of blockchain innovation with global impact.
- Collaborative, high-caliber team environment.
- Backing from top-tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Initialized Capital.
- Inclusive and diverse workplace with equal opportunity hiring practices.
