DevOps Engineer (DST)

As a DevOps Engineer on the Distributed Systems Testing (DST) team at IFT Technical Services, you will rigorously assess the performance and reliability of distributed systems at scale, primarily supporting Logos (λ), a sovereign, people-owned technology stack composed of a blockchain, messaging system, and decentralized storage layer. You'll design and execute comprehensive evaluation strategies, leveraging large-scale lab deployments and protocol behavior modeling scripts to provide in-depth insights into system behaviors and translate technical data into actionable recommendations.

What you'll do

• Design, configure, and optimize Kubernetes clusters to support large-scale experiments and benchmarks of P2P technologies.
• Continuously improve cluster scalability and resource utilization to enable increasingly complex deployments and experiments.
• Set up, maintain, and optimize supporting infrastructure such as monitoring, logging, and observability stacks including Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki.
• Collaborate with DST researchers and engineers to streamline experimentation workflows and make analysis easier and more reproducible.
• Automate infrastructure and deployment workflows to increase reliability and reduce overhead.
• Troubleshoot, profile, and tune distributed workloads to ensure accurate and performant benchmarking.
• Identify, reproduce, and debug complex issues in distributed systems, working closely with Logos development teams.

What you bring

• Strong experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration in production or research environments.
• Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure, Linux systems, and networking, especially relevant to distributed and P2P systems.
• Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, and VictoriaLogs.
• Experience with infrastructure as code tools including Terraform, Ansible, and Helm.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language, ideally Python.
• Interest in or experience with distributed systems, P2P networks, or blockchain technologies.
• Experience with networks and systems programming.
• Excellent written and conversational communication skills.
• Alignment with the core values and principles of Logos.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with libp2p or projects in the Logos collective.
• Background in performance benchmarking, scalability testing, or systems research.
• Contributions to open source projects.
• Experience working for an open-source organization.

About Logos (λ)

Logos is a movement building a sovereign, people-owned technology stack to revitalize civil society and protect digital liberties at scale. The technology stack comprises Logos Blockchain (advanced privacy for decentralized applications), Logos Messaging (private peer-to-peer communication resistant to surveillance), and Logos Storage (secure decentralized storage for fully decentralized apps).
