Requirements
  • Strong software-engineering fundamentals in at least one production language (Python, Go, TypeScript, or Rust); Python especially valued, plus comfort scripting and working in the shell.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure and core cloud services, especially Google Cloud Platform (GCP); AWS/Azure transferable.
  • Experience operating large-scale Kubernetes production systems.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code, especially Terraform.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD systems, especially GitHub Actions or Octopus Deploy.
  • Ability to debug production issues using logs, metrics, traces, shell tools, and source code.
  • Security and access-control fundamentals: IAM, secrets management, least privilege, and auditability.
  • Clear written communication around incidents, design decisions, and operational procedures.
Responsibilities
  • Support the application teams: turn around infra requests (permissions, roles, service setup, project peering) so product engineers stay focused on shipping.
  • Own CI/CD and deployments: maintain and extend GitHub Actions workflows and help migrate toward a dedicated CD tool with proper permissioning — the goal is fully automated, locked-down deploys via service accounts, no direct engineer access to production.
  • Build and maintain infrastructure as code: author and update Terraform modules for new and existing services across GCP environments.
  • Run Kubernetes the right way: manage service deployments via Helm (on Helm 4) keep async workloads healthy on Dagster.
  • Unify observability: consolidate today’s per-team alerting into a single view — system-to-system dashboards plus incident alerting that routes upstream service/vendor failures to the right impacted teams and on-call rotations.
  • Advance resilience: help move toward a fully region- and cloud-agnostic posture so services can pick up and move if something fails.
  • Strengthen security & access: apply IAM, secrets management, least privilege, and auditability; contribute to SOC 2 readiness.
  • Automate with AI: build agent skills / agents.md so routine tasks (provisioning access, simple changes) can be handled by an agent instead of human engineering hours, and use AI to reason through bigger problems.
Desired Qualifications
  • SOC 2 controls - evidence collection, access reviews, change management, or audit readiness.
  • Observability with Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Honeycomb, or similar.
  • Improving developer experience through internal tooling, templates, scripts, or platform APIs.
  • Incident response experience, including postmortems and follow-up remediation.
  • Experience with Dagster, Helm 3+, high-scale CD tooling (Bazel, Octopus), or AI/agent-assisted ops.
  • Basic web3 / DeFi literacy (transactions, wallets) and genuine curiosity about onchain — the role doesn't touch chain directly, but the business is onchain.

Lista DAO and Gauntlet launch four lending vaults for better risk management.

Lista DAO and Gauntlet launch four lending vaults for better risk management. Lista DAO, a decentralized finance protocol for liquid staking and lending on BNB Chain, has announced a partnership with Gauntlet, a crypto-native risk management platform. The goal is to improve security and capital efficiency across Lista Lending's vaults. Gauntlet becomes official vault curator. Gauntlet now acts as an official vault curator on Lista Lending. Gauntlet is known in DeFi for its risk management work - over $1.5 billion in vault TVL has been curated, and more than $35 billion is under its risk management mandates. Gauntlet supports the design and ongoing optimization of lending vaults, which covers risk controls, yield strategies, and user protections. Lista DAO shared the news on its official X account. Four vaults now live. Under this alliance, four vaults are now available. These include the Gauntlet $USDT Vault and three co-curated vaults for $BNB, U, and $USD1. The Gauntlet $USDT Vault offers $6.95 million in liquidity across more than 30 markets. Gauntlet handles all parameters - risk configurations, market allocation, and exposure limits - using its quantitative models. For the co-curated vaults, $BNB vault has 311 million liquidity, U Vault has 69 million, and $USD1 has 138 million. Moving toward long-term liquidity growth. The partnership is more than just a typical deal. Each vault combines Gauntlet's risk framework with Lista's lending infrastructure, all built on BNB Chain. Both platforms hope to strengthen vault curation and encourage long-term liquidity growth. This move also helps bring traditional asset management into Web3, with the DAO protocol relying on specialized firms like Gauntlet. The partners aim to manage vaults precisely according to their desired standards.
