Company Description

At Fun.xyz, we believe a tokenized future is a beneficial inevitability, granting financial emancipation to everyone with an internet connection. For a blockchain-first global economy to exist, value exchange must become intuitive, secure, and seamless.

Enter Checkout - the highest converting payment solution in web3. By integrating Checkout, dApps enable users to complete any on-chain action using crypto from a wallet, centralized exchange, or on-ramped fiat from a card or bank account. With access to market-leading routing and their asset portfolio at the point of sale, users are faster, stickier, and more engaged. For dApps, Checkout scales their user acquisition potential without launching new chains or integrating multiple third party providers.

We built Checkout because we envision a world where anyone, anywhere, can purchase anything with any asset. If that sounds like a vision you can get behind, we want to hear from you.

In this role, you will be responsible for building, scaling, and securing the infrastructure powering our web3 Checkout platform.You’ll work hand-in-hand with backend, frontend, and protocol teams to ensure system performance, resilience, and observability across a global, high-throughput financial network. From architecting CI/CD pipelines to enhancing on-chain deployment workflows, your work will directly impact how crypto users interact with decentralized systems in real time.

What You'll Do

    • Design, implement, and maintain secure, scalable cloud infrastructure in AWS using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.).
    • Build and manage robust CI/CD pipelines for automated build, test, and deployment.
    • Design and integrate end-to-end testing pipelines to ensure system reliability across environments.
    • Monitor, log, and troubleshoot system performance using Datadog or similar tools.
    • Collaborate with developers to ensure the platform is developer-friendly, testable, and highly available.
    • Automate manual processes to improve system scalability, security, and performance.
    • Occasionally contribute to tooling or services using TypeScript/Node.js when needed.
    • Support disaster recovery, backup strategies, and fault-tolerant architecture design
    • Champion a DevOps culture of automation, collaboration, and continuous improvement

Required Skills and Qualifications

    • 3+ years of experience in a DevOps, Cloud, or Platform Engineering role.
    • Strong experience with AWS services (e.g., EC2, EKS/ECS, RDS, Lambda).
    • Proficient in IaC with Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar.
    • Experience managing modern CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI).
    • Hands-on experience with E2E testing automation and integration into deployment flows.
    • Experience with Datadog or equivalent monitoring/logging platforms.
    • Proficiency in scripting and automation (Python, Bash, or similar).Familiarity with containerization and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
    • Ability to build and manage monitoring, alerting, and observability stacks
    • Deep understanding of secure infrastructure design and best practices
    • Excellent debugging, documentation, and cross-team communication skills
    • A mindset for resilience, scalability, and zero-downtime deployments

Desired Qualities

    • Prior experience with web3 infrastructure, such as running Ethereum nodes, IPFS, oracles, or validators
    • Experience developing or maintaining tools/services in TypeScript/Node.js.
    • Experience working with payments systems or financial-grade architecture

    • Exposure to event-driven or real-time streaming architectures (e.g., Kafka).
    • Familiarity with GitOps tools like ArgoCD or Flux.
    • Hunger for working in fast-paced, high-growth environments where ownership is paramount

What Sets You Apart

    • You thrive at the intersection of systems engineering and developer enablement
    • You’ve scaled platforms handling hundreds of transactions per second
    • You build infrastructure that’s invisible when it works and resilient when it fails
    • You take pride in automating everything and reduce toil wherever it lives
    • You think of infrastructure not just as code—but as a critical product component

Why Join Us

    • Play a pivotal role in reshaping the crypto payments industry
    • Be part of a team where deep technical rigor meets relentless execution
    • Work on cutting-edge systems in both traditional infrastructure and decentralized environments
    • Join an environment where autonomy, craft, and big ideas are not only encouraged—but expected
