About The Starknet Foundation
The Starknet Foundation is the steward of Starknet, a permissionless validity rollup designed to scale the world’s most important blockchains without compromise. Having pioneered ZK-STARK technology to scale Ethereum, we are now entering a new era as the first network to settle simultaneously on both Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Joining the Starknet Foundation now places you at the epicenter of this pivotal phase and offers a rare, ground-floor opportunity to shape how BTCFi evolves. This is a unique chance to build the first unified execution layer that turns the world’s most secure assets into productive capital, and it requires exceptional talent. We’re looking for people who think in systems, operate well in ambiguity, and are motivated by long-term impact over short-term wins. If you care about building durable foundations (technical, organizational, or ecosystem-level) and want your work to meaningfully shape how decentralized systems scale, this is the place to do it.
About The Team
The Innovation team sits within Product at the Foundation. We're a small group of generalist engineers who build applications and infrastructure that make data accessible, power new products, and support developers across the Starknet ecosystem - think data explorers, ETL pipelines, prediction markets, and developer-facing tools. We build for real use cases, and that demands a high bar on reliability: solid backends, clean deployments, and services that hold up under pressure.
About The Role
We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to join a lean, full-stack team and round out our capabilities on the deployment and infrastructure side, making sure everything we build scales, stays stable, and runs well in production. As a first-in-function hire, you'll be building and improving how we do things and writing your own playbook. If you find this type of unchartered territory exciting rather than daunting, this might be the role for you.

As a first-in-function hire, you'll be building and improving how we do things and writing your own playbook. If you find this type of unchartered territory exciting rather than daunting, this might be the role for you.
What you’ll do:
- Design, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure for highly available backend services and data-heavy applications
- Build and maintain ETL pipelines that ingest, transform, and serve large volumes of on-chain and off-chain data
- Develop and manage APIs, databases, and the middleware that ties systems together
- Challenge the cost and complexity of how we run things, finding ways to deliver more for less without cutting corners on reliability or security
- Collaborate closely with the broader Product team to ship new tools and applications end-to-end
- Own reliability and performance: build the monitoring, alerting, and deployment practices that mean our tools don't let the ecosystem down
Technical skills
- Solid hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including infrastructure setup, networking, security, and reliability
- Able to build and operate stable, performant backend services (APIs, databases, and data pipelines)
- Comfortable owning a service end-to-end, from architecture and deployment through to monitoring and maintenance
- Can ship code reliably: automated testing, deployment pipelines, and making sure what works locally works in production, too
- Comfortable working across the stack - backend, middleware, and infrastructure - rather than staying strictly in one lane
- Energized by ambiguity: comfortable figuring out how something should be done, not just executing instructions
- A natural instinct to question complexity and find simpler, better ways to build
- High agency: able to spot problems, work out solutions, and take initiative to execute
- Enjoys tinkering, building, and working through hard problems collaboratively
- Genuinely curious about Web3 and the infrastructure and applications emerging in the space
- Full-time remote role
- Europe timezone strongly preferred
- No prior web3 experience required
