SOLANA FOUNDATION
Overview
Our mission is to bring web3 to a billion people, by providing builders with the tools they need to build exceptional onchain products. Alchemy is the only complete developer platform that offers the powerful APIs, SDKs, and tools necessary to build and scale onchain apps and rollups. Our infrastructure powers 70% of the top web3 teams, 90%+ of web2 companies building in web3 and 100+ million end users. Our customers include top web3 brands like Polymarket, OpenSea, Circle, WorldCoin, as well as major global brands like Shopify and Adobe. The Alchemy team draws from decades of deep expertise in massively scalable infrastructure, AI, and blockchain from leadership roles at leading companies and universities like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Stanford, and MIT. We're backed by the world's leading VCs and institutions, including: Lightspeed, Silver Lake, a16z, Coatue, Pantera, Addition, Stanford University, Coinbase, and Charles Schwab, among others. The Role
As a
DevOps Tech Lead
at Alchemy, youll lead a team of engineers responsible for building and scaling one of the most sophisticated, high-throughput infrastructures in the blockchain world. Youll focus on

scalable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure
(primarily AWS) Drive the adoption of
Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD pipelines, and automation frameworks Develop and enforce best practices for
observability, monitoring, alerting, and incident response Partner closely with backend, security, and product engineering teams to ensure smooth, reliable service delivery Lead
technical design discussions, post-mortems, and architecture reviews
with a focus on scalability, reliability, and developer velocity Identify and proactively address
performance bottlenecks, cost inefficiencies, and system vulnerabilities Eventually (6 mos-12 mos in the role) lead and mentor a high-performing DevOps team, fostering growth, collaboration, and technical excellence. Balance
hands-on contributions
with
technical leadership and people management
What We're Looking For:
7+ years of relevant industry experience Strong expertise in

observability stacks
(Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, etc.) Strong background in
automation, scripting, and tooling
(Python, Go, or similar) Excellent ability to
diagnose and resolve complex system, scaling, or performance issues Interest in leading
high-performing teams , including hiring, coaching, and mentoring engineers Self-starter mindset with the ability to balance
