Listing Description
Evmos is the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Hub on Cosmos and enables developers to launch apps that run smart contracts across any number of EVM and Cosmos-based blockchains. It makes that process as simple and seamless as possible by allowing developers to continue creating apps in programming languages they’re already accustomed to in the Ethereum ecosystem such as Solidity or Vyper.
Evmos opens a new frontier for blockchain applications, expanding the functionality of the EVM by enabling cross-chain applications that tap the liquidity and user bases of multiple blockchain ecosystems to provide more unified experiences.
This is an opportunity to join Evmos at a pivotal time on our growth journey. Having just raised $27m in funding from investors including Polychain Capital, Coinbase Ventures and Circle Ventures, Evmos is now poised to accelerate towards our goal of becoming the playground for Ethereum Apps in the Cosmos ecosystem.
At Evmos, we are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse environment and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, protected veteran status, disability, age or any other legally protected status.
About the role:
As a DevOps Engineer, you will be working closely with our co-founders and our Core Engineering team to devise the DevOps and infrastructure strategy for the Evmos foundation. You will be leading the DevOps practice, implementing systems infrastructure best practices, and creating documentation for our developer community. You will also build tools and automated workflows to support the Evmos validator community, node partners, and core engineering team.
This role would be perfect for someone who has experience as both a DevOps engineer and a developer and looking to transition into a hands-on leadership role.
Working with us will give you the opportunity to collaborate directly with other engineering teams and projects in the ecosystem like the IBC, Cosmos, and Tendermint Core teams.
What you will learn:
At Evmos you’ll get familiarity with blockchain technologies to a point where you can develop an intensive depth of knowledge of them. We will teach you how smart contracts work at a lower level using the EVM and go-ethereum (aka. Geth) and also how to implement app chains using the Cosmos SDK framework and the Tendermint Consensus Engine.Our team taught the first university-level Blockchain for Developers course at UC Berkeley so we can also guide you through the journey of learning other disciplines related to cryptocurrencies and blockchain like economics, mathematics, cryptography, distributed systems, and more.
Responsibilities:
- Work closely with the core engineering team to manage the infrastructure needs of the company.
- Develop Engineering strategies for infrastructure, APIs, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), etc
- Execute benchmarking, fuzzing and stress tests on node infrastructure
- Support network and application upgrades.
- Identify key areas of improvement in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and implement appropriate solutions.
- Manage and build relationships with partners and community regarding node operation best practices.
Requirements:
- Experience setting up and maintaining CI/CD and Github Actions.
- Proficiency with Git, Helm, Terraform, or similar.

- Experience working in a remote-first environment.
- Experience working with any public cloud service (eg. AWS or GCP).
- Understanding and hands-on experience using a programming language such as Go, Python, TypeScript, or Rust.
Nice to Haves:
Although a formal CS degree is NOT strictly required, we are looking for someone with “computer science fundamentals” or relevant experience in the field. We're looking for new teammates that have excellent communication and collaboration skills. Other bonus or nice to haves items are:
- Understanding of blockchain technology, distributed systems, or cryptography.
- Consuming and contributing to open source codebases.
- Experience with Cosmos and Tendermint ecosystems.
