About the role

As an engineer in the Infrastructure department at Alchemy, you will design, deploy, and continuously improve the infrastructure powering our blockchain developer platform — serving 100+ chains, billions of daily requests, and over $150B in annual transactions. The Infrastructure team provides the infrastructure, tooling, and expertise needed to allow Alchemy engineers to ship, scale, and operate high-quality products in a fast, safe, and cost-efficient manner.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years as an Infrastructure Engineer focused on reliability (SRE, Production Engineer, Platform Engineer)
  • Experience driving company-wide reliability efforts, including SLO frameworks and error budget policies
  • Strong proficiency with observability stacks: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana
  • Deep experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), Kubernetes, and multi-region architectures
  • Skilled with Terraform, Helm, and GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD) with an automation-first mindset
  • Experience leveraging agentic development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) and workflow automation (n8n) to accelerate IaC and build internal tooling is a strong plus
