About the Role

As an engineer in the Infrastructure department at Alchemy, you will design, deploy, and continuously improve the infrastructure powering our blockchain developer platform — serving 100+ chains, billions of daily requests, and over $150B in annual transactions.

The Infrastructure team provides the infrastructure, tooling, and expertise needed to allow Alchemy engineers to ship, scale, and operate high-quality products in a fast, safe, and cost-efficient manner.

What You'll Do

• Architect and operate scalable, self-healing infrastructure leveraging Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud-native tools across multi-region deployments.

• Drive AI enablement across engineering — ensuring repos, tooling, and workflows are optimized for agentic development with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

• Build AI-powered infrastructure tooling and automation (e.g., automated K8s upgrades, IaC plan analysis, cost optimization advisors, MCP servers, n8n workflows).

• Build and maintain internal developer platform (IDP) capabilities for self-service deployments, observability, and reliability.

• Develop observability frameworks using Prometheus and Grafana for metrics, dashboards, and alerting.

• Lead incident management with blameless post-mortems; define and enforce SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets across services.

• Design and manage multi-cloud, multi-region network architecture — VPC design, IPAM, DNS (Cloudflare), cross-cloud connectivity, security groups, and edge-proxy/istio gateway configuration.

• Collaborate with security teams to embed compliance into infrastructure, including IaC scanning and runtime protection.

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to elevate the team's operational capabilities.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years as an Infrastructure Engineer focused on reliability (SRE, Production Engineer, Platform Engineer).

• Experience driving company-wide reliability efforts, including SLO frameworks and error budget policies.

• Strong proficiency with observability stacks: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana.

• Deep experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), Kubernetes, and multi-region architectures.

• Skilled with Terraform, Helm, and GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD) with an automation-first mindset.

• Experience leveraging agentic development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) and workflow automation (n8n) to accelerate IaC and build internal tooling is a strong plus.

• Solid networking fundamentals — VPC design, DNS, IPAM, security groups, cross-cloud connectivity, and service mesh (e.g., Istio) experience is a plus.

• Strong cross-functional communicator across SRE, security, and product engineering.

• Blockchain infrastructure, distributed systems, or high-throughput RPC experience — not required but a plus.

More on the Role

Alchemy is committed to offering competitive compensation, including base salary as well as equity. Additionally, Alchemy offers comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, as well as other benefits such as 401k and unlimited flexible time off.

The Role

This role sits at the frontier of how AI consumes and acts on internal company data. You'll be the data layer for the entire company — a strategic partner to Finance, Marketing, Sales, Product, and Data Science — designing the clean, trusted datasets that power our AI tooling and ensuring every team can make decisions from a single source of truth. You'll explore how technologies like MCP can unlock self-serve AI data access across the org, and ensure that as we adopt new AI capabilities, our data is ready to meet them. The rest of the company's AI ambitions run through you.

What You'll Do:

• Build and own the canonical data models in Snowflake that serve as Alchemy's company-wide source of truth — clean, queryable, and AI-ready

• Structure datasets so vendor AI tools perform optimally out of the box, with consistent schemas, rich semantics, and well-indexed access patterns

• Explore and prototype MCP integrations that let internal teams query data conversationally 

• Eliminate shadow tables and one-off datasets by proactively serving team data needs at the platform level, freeing data science to move faster

• Own the transformation layer (dbt), with rigorous testing and validation so every downstream consumer — human or AI — can trust what they're working with

What We're Looking For:

• 6+ years in data engineering with strong SQL and deep Snowflake expertise

• Experience designing efficient, scalable analytical data models

• Proficiency with dbt or comparable transformation frameworks

• Strong data quality instincts and a track record of building infrastructure that unblocks teams

• Good judgment — you scope well, prioritize ruthlessly, and communicate tradeoffs

• Experience in startups, a plus
