Platform Engineering at Sei

We're building Sei into a world-class L1 for decentralized finance. This role exists to make the safe path the default path for every engineer on the team — observable, tested, reversible, and fast. You'll be a foundational hire on a small Platform Engineering team with a broad mandate.

What you'll own

• Infrastructure & scale testing. Build and maintain Docker/Kubernetes harnesses for repeatable stress and scale testing, used by every core team as a pre-release gate. Run our multi-cloud footprint with explicit reliability and cost targets.
• Release engineering & CI/CD. Consolidate CI/CD into reusable, standardized workflows. Own version tagging, hotfix paths, PR review scaffolding, and the full release lifecycle.
• Observability. Single pane of glass for metrics, traces, and logs — correlated by block height, powered by OpenTelemetry. HA Prometheus, ELK, defined SLOs on every critical service.
• Performance & chaos testing in CI. Automated chaos and performance tests gating 100% of releases. Regressions caught before merge, not by users.
• Security & incident response. Run the bug and vulnerability workflow end to end — auditors, Immunefi, triage, postmortems. Every incident produces a new test, metric, or runbook.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years building production systems at scale. You've designed and shipped infrastructure that other engineers rely on, and you understand it end to end — not just the surface API.
• Threat modeling, common vulnerability classes, and how security work integrates into a development pipeline. You don't treat audits as a checkbox.
