Senior DevOps – Crypto Jobs

Job Type: Senior DevOps from home
Location: San Antonio work from home
Company: Status

Status is developing the infrastructure and technologies necessary to create a safe, private, and open web3.

Status is creating a community where everyone is invited to join and contribute with the broad objectives of safeguarding the right to privacy, reducing the risk of censorship, and boosting economic trade in a transparent, open manner.

Status is a company that works to advance the web3 ecosystem by conducting research, developing developer tools, and encouraging the open source community.

Status is a software that enables users to interact, conduct transactions, and access a ground-breaking universe of DApps on the decentralized web. It is an open source, Ethereum-based program. But Status is also developing the Waku messaging protocol, the Nimbus ETH 1.0 and 2.0 clients, the Keycard hardware wallet, and the core infrastructure for the whole Ethereum ecosystem (a continuation of Whisper).

Since its inception, Status has worked as a distributed team. Our team presently has more than 150 core contributors, and we are happy to welcome a growing number of community members from diverse backgrounds and locations around the world.

We have a flat organizational structure with no set working hours and a strong commitment to open source. While promoting the organization’s priorities, we think that working with a great deal of autonomy is ideal.

The research group Nimbus is working to create an Ethereum client and library that will work with both Ethereum and the forthcoming, proof-of-stake-based ETH2. As Nimbus is intended to function effectively on embedded, mobile, and generally resource-constrained devices, we anticipate that the largest deployment of Ethereum will most likely be on embedded systems. Nimbus will be production-ready for Web 3.0 thanks to its extendable, reconfigurable, and modular design, and it will be able to support and maintain itself across all of Ethereum 2.0’s objectives.

We are constructing the stack from the ground up and converting the most recent Ethereum 2.0 research into useful, efficient, and reusable libraries to serve as a productive research environment. See the most recent update!
