Hivemind Capital Partners LLC
At Hiro, we build developer tools that bring Web3 to Bitcoin. Our suite of tools unlocks the full potential of Bitcoin through smart contracts, digital assets, and decentralized applications. With Hiro tools, developers can test and deploy smart contracts, spin up nodes and other server-side resources for scaling, and more. Building on Bitcoin is hard. Hiro's developer tools make it easier.
We’re very proud to say that Hiro has consistently been recognized on Built In’s Best Places to Work list, including 2025’s Best Remote Startups to Work For, Best Startups to Work For in New York City, 50 Best U.S. Startup Companies to Work For, and 100 Best Remote Places to Work.
Hiro is funded and backed by more than $75 million from Union Square Ventures, Y Combinator, Lux Capital, Winklevoss Capital, Naval Ravikant, and others.
About The Opportunity Hiro is seeking a DevOps Engineer to help scale, secure, and optimize the infrastructure powering the Stacks ecosystem. You’ll be responsible for Kubernetes-based systems that underpin the Stacks Public Testnet, API Gateway, Chainhook-2.0, and Platform services, ensuring that our developer community and partners can build on reliable and observable infrastructure. DevOps engineers at Hiro are hybrid systems and software engineers with a two-pronged mission:
Empower teams to build, test, deploy, and monitor services used by hundreds of thousands of users (soon to be millions) at scale with high velocity and quality.
Eliminate toil across our engineering, IT, and other operations.
What You’ll Do
Architect and operate
Kubernetes clusters
across production, staging, and testnet environments.
Build and manage
API Gateway infrastructure
(Kong , Istio) for high-scale external APIs.
Deploy and monitor
Chainhook-2.0
within Platform, ensuring resilient predicate registration and event streaming.
Own
Stacks Public Testnet reliability , including alerting, metrics, and incident response.
Implement
IaC (Terraform)
for all infrastructure resources.
Improve CI/CD pipelines for internal services deployed into private Kubernetes clusters.
Enhance
observability
(Grafana, Prometheus, Loki) with SLO-based alerts and distributed tracing.
Partner with blockchain and platform teams to ensure smooth rollouts and incident preparedness.
Improve the tooling and automation for building, testing, and deploying software and services
Collaborate with engineering teams on building / launching new products and features
Evangelize and implement industry best practices to improve the security and ease-of-use of our production environment
Diagnose problems from all sides and quickly narrow down potential solutions
Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack
Improve operational standards, tooling, and processes
Engineer solutions to automate, and streamline monitoring and incident escalation, improve resiliency and uptime
What We’re Looking For
8+ years
in DevOps/SRE roles operating high-availability distributed systems.
Deep Kubernetes expertise
(StatefulSets, Operators, Service Meshes, scaling strategies).
Strong background in
API infrastructure : load balancing, API Gateways (Kong, Nginx), rate limiting, caching.
Proficiency with container technologies like Docker or Containerd
Skilled in
IaC
(Terraform, Pulumi) and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD).
Experience with
observability stacks : Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Jaeger/OTEL.
Strong networking knowledge (L4/L7 load balancers, TLS termination, DNS, ingress controllers).
Proficiency with scripting languages (Bash, Python, Go, or NodeJS).
Cloud experience (AWS/GCP/Azure), ideally multi-cloud.
Excellent communication skills and comfort working with a diverse team across time zones
Great ownership, humility, and bias to action
Able to see a problem from all sides and quickly narrow down potential solutions
Experience deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting production services
Bonus Points
Experience running
blockchain nodes
in production.
Familiarity with high volume APIs ,
event-driven systems .
Security hardening of Kubernetes (RBAC, PSP/OPA, auditing, secrets management).
Performance tuning of Postgres/Redis for high-scale API workloads.
Experience with various network protocols, such as HTTP, TLS, DNS, TCP/IP (transport and network layers).
What We’ll Offer:
Salary Range (regardless of location, benchmarked annually) $177,000 - $207,000.
Company equity and Stacks (STX) tokens--STX is the native cryptocurrency of the Stacks network
$500/mo co-working space reimbursement
$1,200/yr stipend for learning and development
$1,000/yr of charity donation matching to an organization of your choosing
Daily Lunch Reimbursement (even if you’re remote!)
Open Vacation Policy, take the days you need
Family-Friendly Health Benefits
Free Life and Disability Insurance
Health and dependent care (FSA)
Up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave
Pre-tax commuter benefits
401k with 3% match
