Senior DevOps Engineer

About Lista DAO
Lista DAO is a DeFi protocol on BNB Chain offering liquid staking and collateralized stablecoin lending through slisBNB and lisUSD. We’re building infrastructure that helps users put their crypto assets to work.
We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to help make the systems behind Lista DAO secure, resilient, and scalable. If you enjoy automating complex operations, solving production challenges, and working where cloud infrastructure meets blockchain, we’d love to hear from you.

Your role
You’ll work closely with backend, smart contract, and security engineers to improve how we deploy, monitor, and operate our services. You’ll bring a reliability mindset to a 24/7 environment, with ownership of practical improvements that help our engineers ship confidently.
What you’ll do
• Design, operate, and improve cloud infrastructure for production and development environments.
• Build reliable CI/CD pipelines with automated checks, controlled releases, and tested rollback procedures.
• Manage infrastructure as code to keep environments consistent, reproducible, and easy to maintain.
• Strengthen monitoring, logging, and alerting across applications, infrastructure, and blockchain integrations.
• Improve the reliability of RPC connections and supporting services, including failover and recovery.
• Secure infrastructure through least-privilege access, secrets management, patching, and network controls.
• Lead troubleshooting during incidents, document root causes, and drive lasting fixes.
• Test backups and disaster recovery procedures, optimize cloud costs, and maintain clear runbooks.
• Contribute to a shared on-call rotation with defined escalation procedures.

What you’ll bring
• Experience operating production systems in a DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering role.
• Strong knowledge of Linux, networking, DNS, TLS, and production troubleshooting.
• Hands-on experience with a major cloud platform such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.
• Experience with Docker, container orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform.
• Practical experience building CI/CD pipelines and operating monitoring and alerting systems.
• Scripting or programming skills in Bash, Python, Go, Node.js or a similar language.
• A security-first approach and sound judgment when working with production access and sensitive credentials.
• Clear communication, ownership, and the ability to stay methodical during incidents.
Nice to have
• Experience in Web3, DeFi, or other systems that operate around the clock.
• Familiarity with BNB Chain, Ethereum, EVM networks, blockchain nodes, and RPC providers.
• Experience supporting indexers, event-processing services, or transaction automation.
• An understanding of blockchain-specific operational issues such as RPC rate limits, chain reorganizations, transaction nonces, and gas spikes.
You don’t need every tool or technology listed here. We value strong fundamentals, thoughtful problem-solving, and the ability to learn.

Why join Lista DAO?
• Work close to the protocol: Connect infrastructure decisions to how DeFi products perform in production.
• Own meaningful improvements: Help shape deployment practices, reliability standards, and operational tooling.
• Solve challenging problems: Work across distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, security, and blockchain.
• Build with engineers: Collaborate closely with the people developing and operating the protocol.
