NOTE, REMOTE-FRIENDLY ROLE: Unlike some of our other job postings, this is a remote-first role. No preference is given to candidates from a specific geography, and we’re excited to consider candidates from any international location!

We’re looking for an incredible site reliability engineer to help us build the future of blockchain scalability.

This is an ideal opportunity for an SRE who has experience or interest in running performative blockchain infrastructure, at scale. Caldera currently serves over half a billion requests per day, and secures hundreds of millions of dollars in value.

We’re backed by some of the best investors (Sequoia, Dragonfly, and others) and offer competitive pay, equity in the company, and full benefits.

About Caldera

Caldera enables dynamic, scalable blockchain experiences. Currently, dapps that are deployed to general-purpose blockchain compete with thousands of other applications for space on the network — this can lead to congestion and high fees or even network outages.

That’s where we come in. We’re building software that makes it easy for the most innovative blockchain applications to launch their own ultra-performant blockchains (rollups), enabling applications to own their ecosystem, scale to millions of users, and provide a superior user experience to their players.

Our headquarters are located in San Francisco.
