Site Reliability Engineer Network Experience

Who are we?

Phi Labs is a contributor of the Archway protocol, a Cosmos based layer 1 blockchain designed to reward dapp developers.

We are a software engineering company that focuses on the Cosmos SDK and CosmWasm, state-of-the-art frameworks for blockchain development. Our vision is to empower people to create a more transparent and accountable world through open, distributed, and interoperable networks.

Archway is reshaping how value is created and shared across blockchain ecosystems. Initially incubated by Tendermint (Cosmos founders), Phi Labs raised a $21 million seed round from Hashed and CoinFund.

How we work

We have team members working worldwide, from the Americas, Europe to the Middle East and Asia. We leverage agile methodologies to move quickly and stay focused. Communication is vital to us, and we rely heavily on Slack, Google Workspace, Notion, and GitHub to help us stay in sync. Most of the technology we build is free and open source.

This role is a full-time remote position, and you’re free to work from anywhere. Be advised that most team meetings occur between 6:30 am and 10:00 am Pacific Time (UTC-8/-7). If you're applying from a location where these hours are outside your usual working hours, we expect you to adapt to our meeting times.

The Tech

• Kubernetes

• Terraform / Ansible

• Grafana / Prometheus / Loki

• Latest Blockchain Technology and Architectures, preferably operating CosmosSDK based blockchain nodes

You will be responsible for operating the backbone of multiple decentralised networks.

It’s a career-defining opportunity to join as an early member of a fast-growing project where you can make the role your own, being creative in what you do contributing to our engineering teams' efforts.
