About Us Parity is one of the world's most experienced core blockchain infrastructure companies, having built and pioneered some of the most advanced technologies in the blockchain sector. Parity was founded by Dr. Gavin Wood, co-founder and former CTO of Ethereum, the primary engineer behind the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), inventor of the Solidity programming language, and primary author of the Ethereum Yellowpaper. People in Our Collective Are Highly motivated to contribute to Parity’s mission and be part of something bigger Excited to work on projects that are groundbreaking and complex Autonomous workers that self-initiate, but also collaborate well with others Taking maximum accountability and having minimum ego at work Comfortable with chaos and adapting to the ever-changing Web3 space Continuously educating themselves about Parity and the wider ecosystem About the Team The SRE team is responsible for the infrastructure that makes the Polkadot platform and technology work: test and production network environments, deployment pipelines, observability, and the systems that developers, node operators, and end-user applications across the ecosystem rely on. This spans the full stack from runtime and parachain development environments through to infrastructure supporting live applications and events. We run environments at different stability tiers, from fast-moving test networks with daily automated updates to production networks with 24/7 on-call coverage. It's a small team, so the role carries broad scope. The Role We're looking for an engineering manager who can lead a team of experienced SRE engineers and raise the standard of what reliability looks like in a blockchain infrastructure context. The team is technically capable. What it needs is someone who can set engineering direction, build the conditions for good work, and think clearly about reliability as a discipline: SLOs, error budgets, blameless postmortems. What We're Looking For Systems thinking. You have a genuine understanding of distributed systems and large-scale infrastructure. You don't need to be the most senior engineer technically, but you need to be credible to people who are. Reliability. You've worked in or led a team that takes SRE seriously. You know what error budgets are actually for, when SLOs are miscalibrated, and how to run postmortems that improve things. Automation. You get uncomfortable when skilled engineers spend time on work a machine could do. You've built teams that automate away the repetitive work rather than just absorbing it. People development. You have a track record of engineers growing under your leadership, ideally some of them moving on to bigger things. Comfort with unusual territory. Blockchain infrastructure has properties that don't map cleanly onto standard cloud operations. You don't need prior Web3 experience, but you shouldn't be put off by it either. Working at Parity Remote-first, with offices in Berlin, Lisbon, and London. Parity is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome diversity in our global team and care about everyone in our collective feeling included and welcome. View our Applicant Notice to see how we use your data.
