About Caldera

Caldera enables dynamic, scalable blockchain experiences. Currently, dapps that are deployed to general-purpose blockchain compete with thousands of other applications for space on the network - this can lead to congestion and high fees or even network outages.

That's where we come in. We're building software that makes it easy for the most innovative blockchain applications to launch their own ultra-performant blockchains (rollups), enabling applications to own their ecosystem, scale to millions of users, and provide a superior user experience to their users.

We're located in San Francisco, and work in-person from the Financial District

  • Architect and develop backend systems to ensure the smooth operation of Caldera chains
  • Improve our DevOps pipeline, which allows Caldera chains to be deployed reliably and securely
  • Increase the reliability of our infrastructure by continuously improving the observability stack
  • Build highly reliable and performant RPC infrastructure designed to handle billions of requests per day

  • Have experience with cloud technologies, especially Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Helm
  • Hands-on experience with cloud / infrastructure providers, including AWS, Vercel, and Cloudflare
  • Are confident with performance optimization, identifying bottlenecks and scalability concerns
