Senior / Staff Site Reliability Engineer - Remote / US
About Us
At xLabs, we provide core infrastructure and contribute to open-source technologies that empower the builders of the Internet of Value. We focus on engineering tools and delivering robust infrastructure to enable the seamless development of decentralized applications. As core contributors to Wormhole, we’re helping build the backbone of the Internet of Value and making contributions to all major blockchains.
About the Role
You are capable of working efficiently in distributed teams, with a strong focus on clear and frequent communication.
You think critically about the problems presented to the team and can propose multiple solutions, ideally documented in written form.
You are proactive, taking initiative while keeping the team’s success in mind.
You are comfortable communicating in English, both verbally and in writing.
You have experience with Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps.
You have experience with workload orchestration solutions, such as (but not limited to) HashiCorp Nomad or Kubernetes.
You can reason about software design and distributed systems.
You are proficient in at least one programming language.
You have experience running blockchains, particularly validators and remote signers/multisig. (nice to have)
What We Do
We manage compute infrastructure and the applications that depend on it. Most of these applications, like blockchains, are not designed or implemented by us. Thus, we do a lot of reading—documentation, code, Slack channels, and Discord servers—to develop an informed understanding of each app's architecture, best operating practices, and debugging techniques when things go wrong. Documenting what we learn, including what went wrong and how to prevent future issues, is also a big part of our work.
Benefits
A fully remote team (from anywhere!)
An amazing culture
A flexible work schedule
A generous vacation policy celebrating well-deserved time off

As a Senior / Staff Site Reliability Engineer, you’ll have the opportunity to work with a distributed team, focusing on clear communication and collaboration. You’ll think critically about complex problems, propose innovative solutions, and document your findings to share with the team. Your expertise in Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps will be crucial as you help us manage compute infrastructure and run workloads with tools like HashiCorp Nomad or Kubernetes. We value proactivity, so if you’re someone who takes initiative and enjoys diving into documentation and community discussions to build your understanding, you’ll fit right in. We are looking for someone comfortable with software design and distributed systems, with proficiency in at least one programming language.
