About Us

Optimum is delivering the world's first high-performance memory infrastructure for any blockchain. Powered by Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC), Optimum scales network speed, robustness, and throughput by orders of magnitude, enhancing dApp performance and end-user experience.

Co-founded by Muriel Médard, co-inventor of RLNC, and a team of industry experts, Optimum introduces a breakthrough in Web3 infrastructure. Blockchains—often called world computers—lack a critical component for infinite scalability: a real-time virtual memory.

Our memory infrastructure enables high-speed data propagation, fast access, and secure updates, scaling the world computer. Backers include 1kx, Spartan, Robot Ventures, Triton Capital (fka Kraken Ventures), Finality Capital, SNZ, and others.

Key Responsibilities

  • Infrastructure Management – Deploy, operate, and scale distributed clusters of OptimumP2P nodes, gateways, and relays across multi-cloud environments.

  • Automation & Orchestration – Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes) for rapid, reproducible deployments.

  • Reliability Engineering – Define and monitor SLOs around propagation latency, attestation inclusion delay, and network reliability; implement automated failover and redundancy.

  • Observability & Telemetry – Develop monitoring pipelines (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) with actionable alerts and dashboards for network health and validator-facing KPIs.

  • Security & Resilience – Harden nodes, APIs, and relays against DDoS, replay attacks, and resource exhaustion; manage secrets and peer identities securely.

  • CI/CD Ownership – Maintain build pipelines for services (multi-arch Docker builds, secure image publishing).

  • Cross-Team Collaboration – Work closely with protocol engineers and researchers on large-scale experiments.

  • Incident Response – Create runbooks, perform post-mortems, and continuously improve operational reliability.

  • Programming & Tooling – Write automation scripts, custom operators, and CLI tools (primarily in Go, Python, or Bash) to enhance infrastructure efficiency and debugging workflow

Required Background
  • 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering, ideally with distributed or high-throughput systems.

  • Strong expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform (multi-region, multi-cloud deployments).

  • Proven track record in observability and monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK, OpenTelemetry).

  • Deep understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/UDP, packet loss, NAT traversal, DDoS mitigation).

  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).

  • Security-first mindset: IAM, secrets management, infra hardening.

  • Bonus: familiarity with libp2p, gRPC, and blockchain validator infrastructure.

What We Offer
  • Competitive compensation package, including token incentives

  • Remote-first work environment with flexible hours

  • Collaborative team culture that values innovation and growth

If you're passionate about Web3 and you thrive in early-stage startup environments where you can make a significant impact, we'd love to hear from you!
