We’re always excited to connect with exceptional people here at Unit 410 — because we believe in growing a strong team by building relationships before we need to hire.
If you're excited about what we're building, we'd love to get to know you — whether the timing is right today, or months from now.
This is a special team, made up of folks who have worked on some of the world’s most high-impact technologies, at places like NASA, Google, Coinbase, and Twitter.
We're frequently the team powering the “next big thing” in crypto. We support large, early holders on networks and work directly with founders and CTOs. Peers often look to us as industry leaders.
As a member of the Unit 410 team, you will enjoy autonomy and be encouraged to lean into intellectual curiosity. Your work here can make an impact not just on the company, but often across the broader crypto industry.
Tell us what drives you — the hard problems you can’t stop thinking about, the impact you’re hungry to make. If your ambition aligns, we’ll find a way to build together.
Role OverviewThis role sits on our Infrastructure Engineering team, at the intersection of crypto networks, infrastructure, and security. You’ll lead launches of next-gen protocols for our team, harden our systems against real-world threats, and invent tools that push the entire ecosystem forward. It’s hands-on, high-impact work focused on having zero legacy drag — just clean builds, smart peers, and the chance to shape the future of secure crypto infra.
What You’ll Be DoingLaunch New Networks — Own the end-to-end launch of bleeding-edge crypto networks. You’ll design secure patterns, templates, and tools that scale — from first commit to mainnet.
Secure by Design — Build systems that put security front and center. You'll ship security automation and tools that support resilient participation across networks.
Invent as You Go — Crypto doesn’t come with a playbook. You’ll solve novel, high-impact problems, and create solutions the space will benefit from.
Build with Others — No silos here. You’ll work closely with a tight-knit team of engineers to eliminate single points of failure — technical, operational, or human.
Explore What’s Next — New protocols emerge fast. You’ll keep us ahead by identifying and rolling into the next big use cases in crypto.
Experience running highly-available, public-facing infra — ideally 5 to 7 years.
Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure, plus a strong bias for automation, scale, and segmentation.
Strong grasp of security risk, with a track record of designing protections that actually work.
Working knowledge of crypto infra and proof-of-stake protocols.
Languages: Go, TypeScript, Rust
Infra & Ops: Terraform, Ansible, Containers, Prometheus, Grafana
Cloud: GCP, AWS
Networks: Bittensor, Berachain, Cosmos/CometBFT-based chains, and more
