Informal Systems

Informal Systems was founded with a mission to foster trust in software and monetary systems. Our team spent years building state-of-the-art distributed systems and grappling with complexities and limitations. Despite securing billions of dollars in real-world value, these systems were fundamentally flawed—complex and error-prone. We believed we could do better and create an environment where people could fully trust the systems they build and depend on. This vision led to the creation of Informal, a company specializing in the security of interoperable, fault-tolerant networks.

We believe that trust between people and protocols can thrive when backed by the right tools and systems. Informal assembled a team of world-class experts in protocol design, formal verification, and Rust. Today, we help other teams instill trust in their software and systems by applying the same rigorous standards we hold ourselves to.

At Informal, we’ve built our company on the same principles of sustainability, security, and correctness that define our work. To ensure these values shape our organization, we structured Informal as a workers' cooperative. With a "one member, one vote" model, everyone has an equal say, ensuring that no single group or individual controls the company.

Informal Staking

Our mission at Informal Staking (a division of Informal Systems) is to be a premier operator of decentralized network systems as we usher in a new age of open financial technologies. We are a leading operator of staking nodes and interchain infrastructure services operating on many of the leading Web3 projects and contributing to the most anticipated up-and-coming networks. We’ve been validating the Cosmos Hub since genesis and have been running IBC relayers as long as they’ve existed. We run on bare-metal servers and cloud in 6 continents and have a strong commitment to security and best practices.

As a Senior Software Engineer, Blockchain Infrastructure for Informal Staking, you will be responsible for our core staking and service offerings on Ethereum, Solana, and emerging projects. You will carry the vision, build tools, architect solutions, and design systems to grow our services and keep them running smoothly and securely.

Responsibilities:

  • Build, maintain, and grow our core staking operations and other services, including infrastructure and smart contract components.
  • Architect, operate and maintain our infrastructure and container orchestration using Terraform, Ansible, and the Hashicorp software stack (Nomad, Consul, Vault).
  • Build and maintain effective monitoring solutions, response playbooks, and automation strategies.
  • Lead efforts to scale our infrastructure to thousands of nodes and millions of users.
  • Be part of an on-call rotation to respond to incidents that impact our service offerings (approximately 1-week per month on average, including weekends).
  • Lead efforts to prevent incidents from happening and to reduce their impact and time to recovery.

What we look for in a successful Senior Software Engineer, Ethereum Infrastructure:

  • 5+ years experience in Site Reliability Engineering and/or Software Engineering.
  • 2+ years experience in the Ethereum ecosystem with deep understanding of Ethereum software (nodes), applications (solidity), and protocols (proof of stake).
  • Drive, passion, and willingness to take initiative, lead projects, and work collaboratively with a remote team.
  • Ability to think creatively and develop solutions using sound engineering principles, operational discipline, mature automation, and best practices.
  • Ability to solve complex problems with simple solutions that cater to circumstances and client needs.

  • Experience with observability tools such as Zabbix, Grafana, etc.
  • Experience with AWS services and networking or other cloud platforms like GCP/Azure.
  • Experience with modern programming languages such as Go and Rust.
  • A good team player, with the ability to work individually as well as collaborate across various teams in the organization.
