Role Description A confidential client operating at the intersection of decentralized finance and artificial intelligence is seeking a Senior DevOps / SRE Engineer. This role is critical to the organization’s mission: managing high-stakes environments where infrastructure reliability directly impacts capital protection. The successful candidate will own the architecture that keeps dozens of concurrent AI agents alive, fast, and secure. This is a high-impact position designed for an engineer who thrives on building resilient, zero-downtime systems for autonomous agents managing real-time financial workloads. Key Responsibilities - Agent Infrastructure Management: Build and maintain the infrastructure for concurrent AI trading agents, managing complex cron schedules, state files, and trailing stop processes. - Deployment & Orchestration: Deploy and manage agent environments, including workspace persistence, isolated session management, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connectivity. - CI/CD Pipeline Development: Design and operate pipelines for shipping trading skills and plugins to production without interrupting live trading activity. - Zero-Downtime Operations: Execute deployment strategies (blue/green, canary) ensuring active financial positions remain protected during every infrastructure change. - Observability & Monitoring: Build comprehensive alerting across the full stack using metrics, logs, and traces to detect agent failures, state file corruption, or infrastructure regressions before financial loss occurs. - Cloud & Database Scaling: Operate and scale core platform infrastructure, including Kubernetes (EKS) clusters, Redis, Postgres, ClickHouse, and Kafka. - Blockchain Reliability: Maintain blockchain node infrastructure and ensure stable connectivity to exchange APIs and on-chain transaction systems. - Incident Leadership: Lead incident response and on-call practices, including debugging, mitigation, and post-mortems to improve long-term platform reliability. Qualifications - Extensive experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering, preferably within a startup environment where systems were built from the ground up. - Proven track record of deploying, scaling, and debugging production workloads, specifically within AWS EKS. - Proficiency with tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent frameworks. - Hands-on experience with Docker and Helm for packaging production services. - Experience operating production-grade data and messaging systems (Redis, Postgres/RDS, ClickHouse, Kafka). - Strong experience with Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Loki, or OpenTelemetry to build proactive operational visibility. - Ability to debug across multiple languages, including Python, Node.js, and Go. Requirements - Understanding of systems where latency and reliability have direct financial consequences. - Familiarity with node infrastructure, exchange APIs, wallet operations, and on-chain monitoring. - Experience managing secrets, access controls, and production hardening for sensitive financial environments. - Experience defining SLOs and building mature on-call practices. Preferred Qualifications (Plus) - Experience with OpenClaw agent deployments and workspace templates. - Familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP) server deployment and auth management. - Direct experience with Hyperliquid or other decentralized exchange (DEX) protocols. - Background in fintech, market data infrastructure, or high-frequency trading systems. Benefits - Opportunity to build infrastructure for a new category of software (Autonomous AI Agents). - High-autonomy environment with a focus on engineering excellence and technical ownership. - Competitive compensation package commensurate with senior-level experience. - Remote-first or flexible working arrangements (as specified by the client).
