Senior Platform Engineer (Remote - New York)

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of Ava Labs. We are currently looking for a Senior Platform Engineer in New York, NY.

Join a cutting-edge team driving the evolution of blockchain infrastructure with a focus on performance, reliability, and developer velocity. In this role, you will build the platforms and tools that empower core engineering teams to ship better code faster — from orchestrating ad-hoc blockchain networks to designing CI/CD pipelines and observability systems. You’ll operate at the intersection of systems engineering, infrastructure, and tooling, helping scale a distributed Web3 platform used globally. This is a highly impactful opportunity to build resilient systems that push the boundaries of decentralized technology.

Accountabilities:

• Design and maintain advanced CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, ensuring robust, fast, and scalable deployments.
• Develop tooling to enable the creation and management of ad-hoc Avalanche blockchain networks across local and distributed environments.
• Build observability frameworks capable of collecting, analyzing, and comparing system performance across multiple versions and configurations.
• Implement chaos engineering and fuzz testing to validate the stability and resilience of consensus algorithms and peer-to-peer protocols.
• Contribute to performance optimization efforts through strategic data collection and automated analysis.
• Collaborate across Platform Engineering to improve software quality and support large-scale development and testing initiatives.
• Drive internal developer productivity by building platforms that enable reliable testing, debugging, and deployment workflows.

• 10+ years of programming experience, with at least 4 years working in large, collaborative codebases.
• 2+ years of experience with Go and/or Rust.
• Strong foundation in computer science, systems engineering, and software reliability.
• Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar tools (e.g., Jenkins, Travis CI, CircleCI).
• Experience writing end-to-end tests for complex distributed systems.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code and observability solutions at scale.
• Deep understanding of Unix-based system programming and/or large-scale orchestration frameworks like Kubernetes.
• Passion for building tools that multiply the impact of engineering teams.
• Self-starter mindset with a balance of technical initiative and team collaboration.
• Curiosity or interest in Web3 and blockchain technologies.

• Competitive salary range: $214,990 to $228,427 (final offer may vary based on experience and location).
• Fully remote work flexibility.
• Opportunity to work at the forefront of blockchain innovation with global impact.
• Collaborative, high-caliber team environment.
• Backing from top-tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Initialized Capital.
• Inclusive and diverse workplace with equal opportunity hiring practices.
