About Paxos
Paxos is on a mission to enable the movement of any asset, any time, in a
trustworthy way. Today's financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive,
inefficient and risky - supporting a system that leaves out more people than
it lets in. So we're rebuilding it.
As a regulated blockchain infrastructure company, we use technology to
tokenize, custody, trade, and settle assets for enterprise clients like
PayPal, Bank of America, and Interactive Brokers. Paxos is a top-funded
blockchain company, with more than $500 million in total funding from leading
investors like OakHC/FT, Founders Fund, PayPal Ventures, and Declaration
Partners. Together, we empower today's financial leaders to build a more open,
trusted economy.
As a Sr. Staff Site Reliability Engineer you'll get to:
In coordination with senior and staff+ engineers, build and champion a
long-term tech roadmap to improve reliability, ensure scalability, reduce
risk, and push the organization towards step-changes in operational
sustainability.
Mentor and coach ICs to identify patterns for improving reliability in
both software, tooling and process.
Design, implement, and maintain highly available, scalable, and performant
systems
Drive the development and implementation of observability and monitoring
initiatives across our organization.
Search for the truth in conceptualization and development of internal
tools and products to ensure you accelerate and empower engineers.
Immerse yourself in blockchain technology, cryptocurrency for enterprises
and investors, our regulation-first approach, and more!
Your experience should include:
8+ years of software development experience, including at least one of the
following: Golang, Kotlin, Rust, Java, C++.
Strong computer science and programming fundamentals (data structures,
algorithms)
At least 5+ years of experience of hands-on work in infrastructure and
scaling distributed systems.
At least 5+ years of technical leadership on SRE / SWE teams focused on
infrastructure, reliability, and/or software engineering at scale.
Strong experience in encouraging a strong engineering culture and
improving reliability in a growing company, including the ability to work
closely with other senior and staff engineers to drive change.
Knowledge of incident management and post-incident review processes,
including the ability to develop and implement incident response processes
at both the team and org level.
Understanding of Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level
Indicators (SLIs), as well as experience designing and implementing
them.
You might also have:
A strong foundation in infrastructure fundamentals, including knowledge of
networking, operating systems, and distributed systems.
Solid understanding of concepts like load balancing, HA/failover, ingress,
inter-service communications in a microservices style cluster,
idempotence, ACID, guaranteed delivery, etc.
Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Ansible,
and Kubernetes, as well as cloud platforms like AWS or GCP.
Expertise in monitoring and observability technologies such as Prometheus,
Grafana, Datadog, OTEL
Eager to work openly and collaboratively with a diverse multi-disciplinary
team, collaborating effectively with stakeholders
Desire to learn new technologies, innovate and discover better ways to
solve engineering challenges of high performance trading systems and APIs,
including performance tuning, latency optimizations and constant new
development of APIs
