As stewards of the Polkadot and Substrate ecosystem, Parity is laying the
foundation for a better web which respects the freedom and data of individuals
and empowers developers to create better services through decentralised
technology. The internet is too important to billions of people for it to be
at the mercy of a few powerful companies.
With a remote-first, global team of 340+ people, Parity is building open-
source technologies for developers and organisations to implement and build
upon. Our Web3 tech stack includes Polkadot, Substrate, and Kusama.
We believe in a decentralised web that respects the freedom and data of
individuals and empowers developers to create better services. Our vision is
to create a world based on truthful, rather than trustful, interactions. Our
mission is to make Polkadot the most active and innovative community in
blockchain.
People in our collective are:
Highly motivated to contribute to Parity's mission and be part of
something bigger
Excited to work on projects that are groundbreaking and complex
Autonomous workers that self-initiate, but also collaborate well with
others
Taking maximum accountability and having minimum ego at work
Comfortable with chaos and adapting to the ever-changing Web3 space
Continuously educating themselves about Parity and the wider ecosystem
About the position:
Parity Technologies is looking for a CI/CD Engineer to help us with automating
an ever-growing set of open source repos in https: // github.com/paritytech.
We're looking for someone who prefers autonomy over being told what to do, a
person who would enjoy having to communicate the solutions of their own
picking to others in a loosely-structured work environment, and someone who
sees their life goal in automating the unautomateable and then optimizing its'
build pipeline for sub-second latencies.
You would need to be proficient with:
Github Actions, Gitlab CI or similar workflow automation tools (we
might challenge you with building us a time-off notification bot using
nothing but CI tools on occasion)
Their ancestors: makefiles and bash scripting (are you able to tell `` and `` apart in a script?)
Anatomy of Linux systems (what are the most used option flags for
`journalctl`?)
And then treating those systems like cattle, not pets — with Ansible, Terraform or similar orchestration tools
Fancy new container tech: Docker, Podman etc (do you know what buildkit
adds to the table? What would you do to extract a binary from a prebuilt
third-party image?)
and of course, the omnipresent elephant in the room, git in its numerous
applications (did you know that we use Github as an improvised CMS for
our websites?)
It would also help if you:
Have an idea of how Rust code is being built and what Cargo do
Speak some other programming languages: JS, Python, Go, maybe even Perl
(but you would have to make a really convincing case before introducing
this one into our pipelines)
Ever solved non-trivial issues with CI caching in large-scale build
systems
Will be able to look into eyes of Kubernetes and whisper “I'm not afraid
of you”
Display obsessive traits when it comes to retaining and organizing
operation metrics of the tools you use
Are able to reason about security properties of codebases and
infrastructure setups, or even (in an ideal case) know how to fuzz.
About working for us:
Competitive remuneration packages based on iterative market research,
including tokens (where legally possible)
“Future of work” environment that's remote-first and self-initiating with
flexible hours
Team mates that are genuinely excited about their impact and projects
Access to the brightest minds in this space to learn about Web3 and
develop your skills and knowledge while on the job
Becoming part of the wider ecosystem (career and networking
opportunities)
Team and company-wide retreats
Work laptop
Opportunity to relocate to Germany or Portugal (with visa sponsorship)
Those joining our collective as an employee in Germany, Portugal, and the U.K.
also enjoy benefits such as health care, parental leave, PTO (28 days per
year), local team events, yearly L&D budget, and language classes.
Parity is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We welcome diversity in our global
team and care about everyone in our collective feeling included and welcome.
