Overview
Join Gauntlet as an Infrastructure Engineer to build the infrastructure for one of the largest asset managers in onchain finance. Work with a modern platform and take ownership of cloud-native solutions. Gauntlet builds the financial systems of the future. While much of onchain finance is focused on point solutions, we operate across the entire stack to offer best-in-class vault products. Today we serve over $1.5B in client TVL across some of the largest fintechs/neobanks, protocols, exchanges, and capital allocators in crypto — and, increasingly, traditional asset management. Our team brings together traditional finance and crypto-native expertise to deliver durable, sophisticated products for institutional clients moving onchain.
What you'll do;
- •Support the application teams: turn around infra requests (permissions, roles, service setup, project peering) so product engineers stay focused on shipping.
- •Own CI/CD and deployments: maintain and extend our GitHub Actions workflows and help migrate toward a dedicated CD tool with proper permissioning — the goal is fully automated, locked-down deploys via service accounts, no direct engineer access to production.
- •Build and maintain infrastructure as code: author and update Terraform modules for new and existing services across GCP environments.
- •Run Kubernetes the right way: manage service deployments via Helm (we're on Helm 4) keep async workloads healthy on Dagster.
- •Unify observability (likely first project): consolidate today's per-team alerting into a single view — system-to-system dashboards plus incident alerting that routes upstream service/vendor failures to the right impacted teams and on-call rotations.
- •Advance resilience: help move us toward a fully region- and cloud-agnostic posture so services can pick up and move if something fails.
- •Strengthen security & access: apply IAM, secrets management, least privilege, and auditability; contribute to SOC 2 readiness.
- •Automate with AI: build agent skills / agents.md so routine tasks (provisioning access, simple changes) can be handled by an agent instead of human engineering hours, and use AI to reason through bigger problems.
Bonus points
- •Supporting SOC 2 controls - evidence collection, access reviews, change management, or audit readiness.
- •Observability with Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Honeycomb, or similar.
- •Improving developer experience through internal tooling, templates, scripts, or platform APIs.
- •Incident response experience, including postmortems and follow-up remediation.
- •Experience with Dagster, Helm 3+, high-scale CD tooling (Bazel, Octopus), or AI/agent-assisted ops.
- •Basic web3 / DeFi literacy (transactions, wallets) and genuine curiosity about onchain — the role doesn't touch chain directly, but the business is onchain.
What you bring;
- •Strong software-engineering fundamentals in at least one production language (Python, Go, TypeScript, or Rust); Python especially valued, plus comfort scripting and working in the shell.
- •Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure and core cloud services, especially GCP (AWS/Azure transferable).
- •Experience operating large-scale Kubernetes production systems.
- •Experience with Infrastructure as Code, especially Terraform.
- •Familiarity with CI/CD systems, especially GitHub Actions or Octopus Deploy.
- •Ability to debug production issues using logs, metrics, traces, shell tools, and source code.
- •Security and access-control fundamentals: IAM, secrets management, least privilege, and auditability.
- •Clear written communication around incidents, design decisions, and operational procedures.
