About Yield.xyz

Yield.xyz is the ultimate yield infrastructure for Web3 — every yield, every network, one API.

We unify staking, restaking, stablecoin, and DeFi yield across blockchains into a single platform that gives developers seamless access to diversified yield opportunities with full data transparency, frictionless monetization, and zero operational complexity. Pure plug-and-play.

Our infrastructure powers some of the biggest names in Web3 and fintech, including Ledger, Deblock, and 50+ leading wallets and platforms. And we’re just getting started.

DevOps is one of the most critical, upstream functions in our engineering organization. This role is a linchpin for our velocity, reliability, and ability to scale; we’re looking for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, takes ownership of infrastructure end-to-end, and helps shape operational excellence across the company.

The Role

We’re hiring an Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer to own, operate, and evolve the core infrastructure that powers Yield.xyz. This role spans infrastructure as code, cloud environment management, deployments, automation, monitoring, operational excellence, and close collaboration with backend, product, and security teams.

You will be responsible for building and maintaining AWS and Kubernetes environments, upgrading and migrating infrastructure, improving CI/CD pipelines, enforcing robust environment protections, and ensuring that staging and production environments remain secure, reproducible, and stable.

You’ll also play a key part in operational readiness: monitoring, alerting, incident response, and improving our dashboards, playbooks, and on-call posture.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role where you’ll directly influence engineering and product velocity. You’ll work in a fast-moving organization where priorities shift quickly and clarity, documentation, and proactive communication are essential.

What You’ll Do

• Own and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform / Terragrunt

• Manage AWS environments (ECS, EKS, SSM, networking, IAM), including upgrades, migrations, and resource decommissioning

• Improve and operate CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), enforcing secure release processes and environment protections

• Manage internal operational security tooling such as MDM and EDR, ensuring devices and access remain compliant and secure

• Assist with operational parts of security and compliance (access reviews, audit evidence, environment controls)

• Implement strict developer lifecycle controls: protected branches, release approvals, deploy gates, and environment separation

• Manage containerized environments (Docker, ECS, Kubernetes), including scaling, observability, and reliability

• Automate repetitive tasks, provisioning, and operational workflows

• Maintain and improve staging vs. production environments, ensuring isolation, reliability, and security best practices

• Participate in on-call rotations and contribute to incident response, resolution, and post-mortem improvements

• Build and improve monitoring and alerting systems using AWS CloudWatch, Better Stack, Prometheus, Grafana, and related tools

• Collaborate with backend, security, and product teams to integrate DevOps work into sprint cycles and engineering processes

• Document infrastructure changes, operational procedures, runbooks, and architecture updates

• Proactively identify and address infrastructure bottlenecks, reliability risks, or operational inefficiencies

• Support day-to-day DevOps requests (debugging environments, logs, access issues, infra upgrades, etc.)

What We’re Looking For

Must-Haves

• 4+ years experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or platform engineering roles

• Strong proficiency with Terraform / Terragrunt and infrastructure-as-code workflows

• Deep experience operating AWS environments (ECS, EC2, SSM, IAM, networking)

• Strong background with container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS) and Docker

• Hands-on CI/CD experience, ideally GitHub Actions, with secure deployment practices

• Experience building monitoring and observability systems (CloudWatch, BetterStack, Prometheus, Grafana)

• Familiarity with secrets management, environment protection, and incident management processes

• Experience migrating or decommissioning cloud infrastructure

• Strong communication and documentation skills, especially in async, distributed teams

• Ability to thrive in fast-paced startup environments with shifting priorities

• High ownership mentality and willingness to jump in wherever needed

Strong Advantages

• Experience working in Web3, fintech, or highly regulated environments

• Prior on-call experience with mature incident response practices

• Experience supporting security compliance programs such as SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 (policy adherence, evidence collection, audit readiness)

• Exposure to zero-trust networking, VPN solutions, or AWS SSM Session Manager

• Experience building dashboards, SLAs, or SLO-driven monitoring systems

• Background integrating DevOps into Agile/Scrum or sprint planning cycles

• Contributions to DevOps or infrastructure open-source projects

Why Join Yield.xyz?

• Own the infrastructure powering mission-critical Web3 financial systems

• High autonomy and direct influence on engineering velocity and product delivery

• Collaborate closely with backend, security, and product teams in a fast-moving, high-trust organization

• Work on cutting-edge cloud infrastructure used by major fintech and crypto platforms

• Build in a startup environment with real ownership, where DevOps is a first-class function

• Fully remote team spanning multiple continents, with Americas timezones preferred

• Opportunity to shape processes, tools, and best practices as we scale
