## About the role

As a Validator Engineer, you will own the uptime, performance, and reliability of Ritual’s validators. You’ll be responsible for managing upgrades, snapshots, and sync performance, while also serving as the primary technical point of contact for validator operators — owning deployment tooling, documentation, and support to ensure seamless participation across testnet and mainnet.

## What they're looking for

- 4+ years operating high-availability distributed systems, including direct experience running PoS validators on EVM-based chains
- Proficient in Go and Rust, with the ability to read, debug, and extend both Execution Layer (EL) and Consensus Layer (CL) client code
- Strong grasp of protocol-level concepts such as fork-choice, evidence handling, slashing conditions, and state sync
- Expertise in Kubernetes/Helm, Terraform, and CI/CD workflows — automating everything from container builds to canary deployments
- Advanced Linux user with deep networking knowledge and a strong focus on system hardening and security
- Passionate about observability — logs, metrics, and traces are at the core of every operational decision
