• Use IaC process to manage cloud infrastructure on different public and private clouds and bare metal.

• Build our internal tooling using Python and Django to automate our infrastructure tasks

Our stack

It's great if you have blockchain experience already, but if you do not we are happy to teach you. Also, if your past experience does not 100% match our stack, but you have experience with equivalent technologies, we will be happy to talk to you.
