About the Role
We are hiring a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join the HashSphere engineering team.

Own large-scale Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, including reusable modules, multi-account patterns, and policy guardrails.
Operate and scale Kubernetes environments (EKS, GKE, or AKS) using GitOps practices (ArgoCD), Helm, and strong RBAC and network policies.
Build and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines, including blue/green and canary deployments, promotion and rollback strategies, and artifact integrity (SBOM, signing).
Define and improve SRE practices, including SLOs, error budgets, observability, and measurable reductions in MTTR/MTTA.
Work closely with product and engineering teams to translate customer and business requirements into reliable, secure platform services.
Contribute to the operational support and continuous improvement of customer-facing HashSphere deployments.
