About ZetaChain

ZetaChain is building the infrastructure for a more private and interoperable internet. Our mission is to create blockchain technology that puts users in control of their data while enabling seamless interactions across platforms.

Anuma.ai is our flagship AI product—an ambitious privacy-first AI platform designed to deliver real value while maintaining user sovereignty. Backed by top-tier investors, we're pushing the boundaries of what AI can do in the real world, building a fully interoperable and private AI ecosystem that serves actual user needs.

If you're excited by meaningful technical challenges and building products that matter, this is the place for you.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to build and operate the infrastructure powering next-generation AI applications. You'll ensure the reliability, scalability, and security of production systems that serve users globally—working at the intersection of blockchain, AI, and distributed systems.

This is a highly hands-on, execution-focused role. You'll operate critical infrastructure, build automation to eliminate toil, and partner with engineering teams to design systems that are reliable by default. If you thrive on solving complex infrastructure challenges, love building robust automation, and want to work with cutting-edge technology stacks, this is the role for you.

What You'll Do

Operate and maintain production blockchain infrastructure, including validators, RPC services, indexers, and supporting services
Ensure high availability and performance for AI‑enabled developer platforms and internal tooling
Build and maintain monitoring, alerting, and dashboards for protocol, infrastructure, and application health
Write high‑quality automation and infrastructure code to reduce toil and improve reliability
Participate in on‑call rotations, incident response, and post‑incident reviews
Partner with engineering teams to embed reliability, scalability, and security best practices into system design
Improve Kubernetes reliability across cloud and bare‑metal environments
Continuously refine deployment, rollback, and recovery strategies

What We're Looking For

Required:

3+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering
Strong software engineering foundation with production experience in Go and/or Python
Deep expertise operating Linux systems in production environments
Proven track record running Kubernetes at scale in high-availability environments
Experience supporting distributed systems with demanding uptime requirements
Comfort working in fast-moving startup environments with evolving requirements
Strong security mindset, especially for infrastructure operating on public or adversarial networks
Excellent collaboration and communication skills across technica
