Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer at Raiku

As an Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer at Raiku, you will lead critical engineering efforts that drive the performance and scalability of next-generation distributed systems. You'll join a highly proficient team of core engineers, all of whom have contributed to foundational and novel infrastructure innovations.

We believe in hiring exceptional individuals who are deeply motivated by complex core infrastructure challenges and guided by a coherent system design philosophy that moves our industry forward. Expect frequent group discussions on architecture, design specs, and code reviews. We ship quality code quickly and often - and we are deeply committed to it.

About Raiku

Raiku is reengineering blockchain infrastructure from first principles to make global digital markets as precise and dependable as physical systems. Built on Solana, our platform delivers deterministic execution, guaranteed inclusion, and low-latency performance-solving the foundational failures that cause transactions to miss, trades to revert, and systems to collapse under pressure. By placing high-performance compute close to where transactions happen and coordinating execution through our advanced scheduling engine, Raiku empowers developers to build scalable, high-performance applications-and gives institutions the reliability and control they demand. We believe financial infrastructure should behave like physics: fast, reliable, and predictable-every time, without exception.

About the Team

Our entire platform is built in Rust, connecting Solana's L1 with advanced L2 extensions and enabling deeply complex network interactions. Your primary focus in this role will involve Rust systems programming, infrastructure architecture (e.g., Kubernetes), and operational scripting across languages such as Rust, Go, and Typescript. Full-stack understanding - from bare metal to application interfaces - is critical to success here.
