DevOps Engineer - Blockchain and Data Platforms

Hamsa is building the operating system for global finance. Through our AI-enabled Unified Ledger, we connect the world's largest financial institutions while solving critical challenges in interoperability, privacy, and speed. With $400B on platform in 2025 and $1T projected for 2026, we're scaling rapidly and reshaping how the world's financial system operates. Backed by top-tier investors, our global team operates across the US, APAC, EU, and LATAM.

Role Overview

At the heart is Hamsa’s AI-powered EVM-compatible ledger, the first blockchain infrastructure to combine powerful IP: composability, high speed (10-100X faster), and zero-knowledge privacy - enabling real-time settlement for stable coins and digital assets on a public chain, with privacy. Hamsa serves the world’s largest global financial institutions in the US, LATAM, and APAC. We are seeking a Senior DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to build and operate a production-grade, institution-ready platform supporting data-intensive financial applications and blockchain-integrated services.

This role sits close to the application stack and is responsible for ensuring:

Reliability, scalability, and security of platform services

Continuous delivery pipelines using GitOps principles

Deep observability across distributed systems

Integration with enterprise DevOps, security, and compliance frameworks

You will work hands-on with Kubernetes (EKS), ArgoCD, and cloud infrastructure, while collaborating closely with application engineers building data pipelines, cryptographic services, and blockchain integrations.

This is a high-impact role requiring both strong technical depth and the ability to operate within a regulated, institution-grade environment.

What you will own:

deploy and manage services using GitOps (ArgoCD)

operate Kubernetes (EKS) clusters in production

ensure high availability and resilience of critical services

implement end-to-end observability (metrics, logs, traces)

integrate with enterprise tooling for security, identity, and compliance

support application teams with reliable, scalable infrastructure

Key Responsibilities

Kubernetes & Cloud Platform Engineering

Design, deploy, and operate Kubernetes clusters (EKS) for production workloads

Define and manage cluster architecture, networking and ingress, workload isolation and scaling, resource optimization

Ensure platform reliability, performance, and cost efficiency

GitOps & Continuous Deliver

Implement and manage GitOps workflows using ArgoCD

Define deployment standards for micro-services, data pipelines, blockchain-integrated services

Maintain environment consistency across dev, staging, and production

Support safe, auditable, and repeatable releases

Observability & Reliability Engineering

Build and maintain a comprehensive observability stack, including: metrics (e.g., Prometheus), logs (e.g., ELK / OpenSearch or similar), distributed tracing (e.g., OpenTelemetry)

Define SLIs, SLOs, and alerting strategies

Enable proactive detection and resolution of system issues

Partner with engineering teams to improve system resilience and performance

Production Operations & Incident Management

Establish and maintain production readiness standards

Lead or participate in: incident response, root cause analysis (RCA), post-mortems

Continuously improve system reliability and operational processes

Security, Compliance & Enterprise Integration

Integrate platform with institution-grade DevOps and security tooling, including: identity and access management, secrets management, audit logging, vulnerability scanning

Ensure compliance with internal policies and regulatory expectations

Work closely with cybersecurity teams to embed security into the platform

Developer Enablement

Provide tooling and support for application teams to: deploy services reliably, monitor and debug systems, scale workloads effectively

Improve developer experience through automation and platform abstractions

Infrastructure as Code & Automation

Build and maintain infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) (e.g., Terraform or similar)

Automate provisioning, scaling, and operational tasks

Ensure reproducibility and consistency across environments

Requirements

5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering roles

Strong hands-on experience with: Kubernetes (EKS or equivalent), ArgoCD / GitOps workflows

Experience building and operating production-grade distributed systems

Strong experience with observability tooling (metrics, logs, tracing)

Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred)

Experience with CI/CD pipelines and release automation

Strong understanding of: containerization (Docker), networking concepts, system reliability and fault tolerance

Experience integrating with enterprise security and DevOps frameworks

Strong troubleshooting and incident response skills

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

MBA or advanced technical degree is a plus
