DevSecOps needed. SRE? Platform Engineer? Whatever you call it, we need you.

About JTX

JTX is Jito Labs' consumer trading product — a high-performance trading terminal built on Solana. We're a lean, high-output team building something that sits at the intersection of execution quality, user experience, and on-chain infrastructure. We own a meaningful portion of Solana's block production, and JTX is how we bring that edge directly to traders.

The Role

This is a high-ownership IC role. The stack is designed. Now it needs someone who can own it, harden it, automate it, and make sure it stays up while traders are trading. You will be running globally distributed infra and you'll be the person who cares most about it (this is an extremely high ownership role).

You'll work directly with engineering leadership. No ticketing system standing between you and a decision. If something is broken, it's your problem. If something can be automated, you'll automate it. If something is insecure, you'll fix it before anyone notices. Get shit done!

What You'll Do

Own and operate end-to-end infrastructure for JTX across backend services, frontend systems, databases, observability, third-party integrations, and globally distributed cloud environments
Build and maintain reliable deployment workflows including CI/CD pipelines, preflight validation, rollback procedures, and post-release monitoring
Design reproducible infrastructure using Terraform, Ansible, and infrastructure-as-code best practices
Improve system-wide observability through metrics, logging, alerting, and monitoring to ensure uptime, correctness, and low latency across the stack
Establish strong operational discipline through actionable alerting, incident response processes, and clear runbooks
Manage and secure cloud and edge infrastructure including Cloudflare routing, CDN deployment, WAF, DDoS protection, VPN mesh networking, and zero-trust access controls
Own infrastructure security posture including secrets management, OS hardening, firewall policies, key rotation, and incident response readiness
Support globally distributed SQL infrastructure and performance-sensitive Rust/Axum API systems
Build internal tooling and automation that improve developer productivity and operational efficiency
Define and continuously raise the bar for infrastructure reliability, scalability, and security across the organization

What We’re Looking For

5+ years of experience in Infrastructure Engineering, Platform Engineering, SRE, or DevOps supporting low-latency, highly available, production-critical systems
Strong Linux and systems fundamentals with experience operating both bare-metal infrastructure and cloud environments
Deep experience with infrastructure-as-code and automation tooling, particularly Terraform and Ansible in production environments
Strong understanding of networking and web infrastructure concepts including load balancing, CDN caching, DNS routing, TLS, and secure traffic management
Experience with observability and monitoring platforms such as Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, InfluxDB, ClickHouse, or similar tooling
Strong operational intuition across infrastructure, databases, applications, and external APIs with the ability to troubleshoot issues end-to-end
Solid security instincts, including experience with secrets management systems such as Vault or similar technologies
Strong understanding of database operations including replication, pooling, connection behavior, and performance considerations
Excellent written communication skills with the ability to create clear documentation, operational runbooks, and repeatable processes
High ownership mentality with the ability to operate autonomously in a small, fast-moving environment

Bonus Points

Experience with Solana infrastructure and tooling, including validators, RPCs, blockchain data services, transaction landing, and wallet custody systems
Strong understanding of low-latency trading or consumer-facing fintech infrastructure
Experience working with Rust, cloud-hosted PostgreSQL databases, and secrets management systems for securing sensitive credentials
