Remote Remote Blockchain Infrastructure Engineer (Docker, Ansible, Terraform) - Heliax

Overview The primary project of Heliax is the Anoma protocol (implemented in Rust). Anoma is a sovereign, proof-of-stake blockchain protocol that enables private, asset-agnostic cash and private bartering among any number of parties.

In addition to Anoma, Heliax works on open-source projects which are part of the Anoma ecosystem, including but not limited to research in cryptographic libraries such as the MASP or Ferveo (written in Rust), and tools for high assurance validity predicates and arbitrary zero-knowledge circuits (Juvix, written in Haskell).

Heliax is a remote-first team, currently composed of cross-disciplinary members located around the world. All of our work is open-source.

Our work culture is characterized by open-allocation, where team members have a high degree of freedom and autonomy in choosing when to work, what to work on, and whom to work with.

ResponsibilitiesWe are looking for an engineer interested in distributed ledger technology to support the public Anoma testnets and help community members by writing guides and tutorials.

As a blockchain infrastructure engineer, you will work with us in evaluating, deploying, monitoring, maintaining, and upgrading the Anoma testnets. Furthermore you will be responsible for ensuring that external users can easily deploy our software.
