About The Role

We are looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join the HashSphere engineering team. You will help design, build, and integrate key product features for enterprise businesses built on Hiero, for our private distributed ledger technology. This is a greenfield project at the cutting edge of decentralized systems and cloud technologies, with a focus on security, privacy, and scalability.

In this role, you will leverage your software development skills, distributed systems engineering experience, and understanding of modern SRE and DevOps practices to deliver core platform services. You will partner with globally distributed teams and contribute to a highly scalable, mission-critical infrastructure product used by some of the largest companies in the Finance, Supply Chain, and Healthcare industries.

If you have experience building modern REST or gRPC APIs, designing scalable, reliable, and secure architectures, and have a strong growth mindset, this may be the ideal role for you.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with the Product Development team to transform customer requirements into actionable technical specifications.
• Partner with the head of SRE to shape the strategic roadmap and functional architecture for current and future product needs.
• Develop and implement a strategy for leveraging and integrating open-source technologies, especially those from the Linux Foundation's Decentralized Trust ecosystem (Privacy, Identity, Interoperability, and Cryptography).
• Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of APIs, integrations, and platform services that interoperate with the core HashSphere DLT network.
• Collaborate effectively with engineering leads across the organization: stay abreast of emerging Hedera native technologies/features, develop adoption/integration strategies for HashSphere, and advocate for feature development work.
• Contribute to the ongoing improvement and operational support of core HashSphere infrastructure services and customer deployments.
