Web3 Community Linux Jobs in United States, North America

Are you excited to work on the cutting edge of blockchain infrastructure? Valigator is looking for an entry-level Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to help shape the foundation of our growing platform. This role is ideal for recent graduates or engineers with up to one year of experience who are eager to dive into real-world systems at scale.

As an early team member, you’ll work directly with the founder to design and implement systems that ensure scalability, reliability, and performance across our infrastructure. You’ll have the opportunity to define processes, contribute to best practices, and build the operational backbone that supports our high-performance services on the Solana blockchain. If you’re motivated to learn, solve complex problems, and make a meaningful impact from day one, we want to hear from you.

Company

Valigator is a high-performance infrastructure service provider operating on the Solana blockchain. As an early-stage startup, we move fast, build with intention, and thrive on solving hard problems. We are committed to delivering reliable, secure, and efficient services that maximize performance and rewards for our clients. Our reputation is built on trust, technical excellence, and a relentless focus on uptime and optimization.

In this role, you will:

• Take ownership of our production bare-metal infrastructure by implementing scalable, sustainable solutions that improve system availability and performance.
• Investigate and identify root causes of incidents, and contribute to long-term fixes that prevent recurrence.
• Develop and refine alerting systems that focus on symptoms, not just outages — ensuring alerts are actionable and ideally paired with self-healing automation.
• Document operational tasks clearly, turning one-off actions into repeatable processes and automated workflows.
• Focus on the observability, reliability, availability, and performance of systems, with a strong emphasis on proactive monitoring and optimization.
• Take part in periodic on-call rotations with guidance and support from the team.

• Some hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, System Administration, or a related academic background (degree or certification)
• Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, JavaScript, or Bash
• Exposure to alerting and monitoring tools like DataDog, Zabbix, Nagios, or similar
• Comfort working in Linux environments, including using the command line for system-level tasks
• Basic experience with configuration management tools, preferably Ansible
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to break down complex problems
• Clear verbal and written communication skills, and a collaborative, team-oriented mindset
• The ability to zoom into technical detail while maintaining awareness of broader system goals

Bonus Points ForThese aren’t required, but experience in any of the following areas will help you stand out:

• Familiarity with blockchain technologies — especially hands-on experience with Solana
• Background in developer enablement, DevRel (Developer Relations), or technical community engagement
• Contributions to open-source projects or participation in technical communities

This is a contract position with the following compensation structure:

• Base salary equivalent to $50,000–$90,000 USD annually, depending on experience and qualifications.  Payment
