About Us
At xLabs, we specialize in providing essential infrastructure and contributing to open-source technologies that empower the innovators of the Internet of Value. Our primary focus is on developing engineering tools and delivering resilient infrastructure that facilitates the seamless creation of decentralized applications. As key contributors to Wormhole, we are instrumental in constructing the backbone of the Internet of Value and actively participate in enhancing various major blockchains.
About the Role
You will thrive in distributed teams, emphasizing clear and consistent communication.
Critical thinking is essential; you will analyze challenges and propose multiple solutions, ideally documented for clarity.
Proactivity is key; you will take the initiative while prioritizing the team's success.
Fluency in English, both spoken and written, is required.
Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps is necessary.
You should be familiar with workload orchestration tools, such as Kubernetes.
Understanding software design and distributed systems is crucial.
Proficiency in at least one programming language is expected.
Experience operating Blockchain RPC nodes and Validators, such as Ethereum, Solana, or similar platforms, is advantageous.
What We Do
We manage the compute infrastructure and the applications that rely on it. Many applications, such as blockchains, are not developed by us. Therefore, we spend significant time reviewing documentation, code, Slack channels, and Discord servers to cultivate a thorough understanding of each application's architecture, optimal operating procedures, and debugging strategies when issues arise. Documenting our findings, including lessons learned from past mistakes and strategies to prevent future occurrences, is an integral part of our responsibilities.

Fully remote team, ideal candidates are located in US, South America, and European time zones.
Team culture that is collaborative, transparent, and supportive, where all contributions are highly valued.
Flexible working hours that respect your independence and encourage self-motivation.
