We're looking for an SRE who thinks like a systems architect and builds reliability through automation. You should have lived inside large production environments and be allergic to manual processes.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and build automation-first reliability systems in Go
- Treat infrastructure as pipelines: provisioning, observability, deployment, failover
- Build internal tooling, control planes, and reliability infrastructure
- Own production readiness, alerting, and operational maturity
- Work across protocol, networking, and hardware boundaries
Qualifications & Requirements
- Big tech SRE / Production Engineering background or similar
- Strong Golang engineering skills in production environments
- Systems thinker: you design for scale, reliability, and operational simplicity
- Experience building internal platforms rather than just operating existing ones
- Comfort with distributed systems, networking, and low-level system behavior
ABOUT DOUBLEZERO
DoubleZero is a high-performance, permissionless global network purpose-built for distributed systems. The mission is simple: increase bandwidth and reduce latency.
DoubleZero increases bandwidth by filtering junk data that currently plagues validators and other network operators. DoubleZero reduces latency by connecting these filters via underutilized private fiber links, forming a mesh network. By combining these improvements and routing the right data through optimized, low-latency paths, the DoubleZero protocol empowers blockchains and other systems to achieve performance levels previously impossible. In short, DoubleZero is a new Internet for distributed systems. It is supported by many independent contributors. Among them, DoubleZero Foundation drives the adoption, decentralization, security, and advancement of the protocol. Malbec Labs develops the technical components of the protocol itself. We look forward to hearing from you.
About DoubleZero
DoubleZero, founded in 2024 by Austin Federa, former Solana Foundation strategy lead, with a team of network engineers in the United States, builds a high-performance fiber network purpose-built for distributed systems and blockchains. Its protocol coordinates dedicated and contributed fiber links into a permissionless mesh that improves block propagation, reduces latency and increases resilience for validators and RPC operators. Initially focused on Solana, DoubleZero targets infrastructure that makes consensus more democratic by lowering bandwidth constraints for geographically distributed participants. Headquartered with a distributed team across North America, the project combines telecom partnerships with crypto incentive design. Still early-stage, it operates testnet deployments and ecosystem pilots. Expect an infrastructure-focused culture that values network engineering depth, carrier operations and building physical rails for open, performant blockchains.
