Job Overview

The mission of the Platform Engineering team is to provide a robust infrastructural foundation to promote reliability, scalability, performance and developer velocity at Anchorage Digital. This team owns various infrastructure components including cloud infrastructure (e.g. gke, terraform), continuous integration and testing, continuous delivery/deployment.

The impact
This is a force-multiplier development role that allows a developer to have an impact broadly across Anchorage engineering. Internal developers will appreciate a well functioning build pipeline that allows them to get their code to production smoothly. The business and Anchorage Digital's customers will appreciate a reliable, secure runtime infrastructure as that is a core competency of the Anchorage Digital ecosystem and value proposition. The role has cross-team exposure which allows for interesting work and professional growth.

The problems you'll solve

  • Design and build a globally distributed hybrid-infrastructure with an emphasis on high stakes security and correctness.
  • Manage GCP while maintaining secure channels with our on-prem data centers.
  • Leverage the following methodologies/tech: Reverse uptime, tamper-resistant ledgers, air-gapped infrastructure, secure execution environments, repeatable builds, container orchestration, and infra-as-code.
  • Review code across the entire stack and engineering organization while actively participating in product development.
  • Find the right balance between progress (i.e. shipping quickly) and perfection (i.e. measuring twice).
  • Foster an efficient deterministic testing culture, with an emphasis on minimizing tech debt and bureaucracy.
  • Work on the front lines of the blockchain/crypto movement and SecOps innovation.
You may be a fit for this role if
You have experience with one of the major cloud providers (ideally GCP and/or AWS) and config management tools like Puppet, Ansible, Chef, etc. You care deeply about correctness, security, code quality, and test infrastructure. You enjoy programming, infra-as-code, monitoring, and automation.

Although not a requirement, bonus points if
You feel comfortable diving down the stack and into open source projects to root cause a bug. In your mind the word “crypto” stands for cryptography, not cryptocurrency. You were emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system. :)

Tech stack:
While experience with specific languages isn’t a requirement our stack is the below.
Big Data Tech: BigQuery, Looker, Python, Airflow
Backend Tech: Go, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GCP, REST and GraphQL.
Engineering methodologies: Reverse uptime, cryptographically linked data models, air gapped infrastructure, secure execution environments, and infra-as-code.
