Infrastructure Engineer
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an Infrastructure Engineer based in Brazil.
This role sits at the core of a global, high-availability infrastructure platform powering modern blockchain and Web3 applications used across fintech, DeFi, wallets, and analytics ecosystems. You will be responsible for ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance of complex distributed systems operating across multi-cloud and Kubernetes-based environments. The position combines hands-on incident response with deep infrastructure engineering, automation, and observability work. You will operate in a fast-moving, AI-augmented engineering culture where ownership and autonomy are central. Expect to work closely with global teams, contributing directly to production stability and platform evolution. This is a highly technical role suited to engineers who enjoy solving real-world reliability challenges at scale.
Accountabilities
- Ensure the reliability, scalability, and performance of mission-critical production systems, including participation in on-call rotations and incident response activities.
- Design, operate, and improve complex hybrid infrastructure environments, primarily multi-cloud Kubernetes clusters, using Infrastructure-as-Code practices.
- Monitor system health, improve observability, and enhance alerting systems to proactively detect and prevent incidents.
- Investigate production issues, identify root causes, and implement both immediate mitigations and long-term fixes for system weaknesses.
- Automate repetitive operational tasks to reduce manual workload and improve system efficiency.
- Plan and implement infrastructure improvements aligned with reliability, scalability, and performance goals.
- Improve technical documentation with clear explanations of system design decisions, not just procedural steps.
- Share knowledge across teams and contribute to raising overall infrastructure engineering maturity.
- Experience operating mission-critical production systems with ownership of reliability, uptime, and SLAs.
- Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes or similar orchestration platforms in production environments.
- Solid background in Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, Helm, and Ansible.
- Experience with public cloud providers such as AWS, GCP, or Azure in production workloads.
- Proficiency in Linux systems, shell usage, and systems-level troubleshooting.
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or similar stacks.
- Programming ability in Python and/or Go for automation and tooling.
- Strong systems thinking mindset with the ability to anticipate edge cases, failure modes, and scaling challenges.
- Experience with databases (RDBMS) in production environments.
- A proactive, ownership-driven mindset with strong curiosity and a bias toward fixing and improving systems.
- Strong documentation habits and ability to communicate technical knowledge clearly.
- CKA certification (or equivalent Kubernetes expertise) is highly valued.
- Ability to work aligned with Americas time zones.
- Competitive USD-based compensation aligned with experience and impact.
- Stock options to participate in long-term company growth.
- Flexible working schedule with strong autonomy over working hours.
- Remote-first setup with global team collaboration.
- AI-enabled engineering environment focused on reducing repetitive work and increasing impact.
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge Web3 and blockchain infrastructure.
- Flat organizational structure with high ownership and minimal bureaucracy.
- Fast-growing, global industry with strong technical challenges and real production scale.
- Diverse, international engineering team and collaborative culture.
