About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

DevSecOps needed. SRE? Platform Engineer? Whatever you call it, we need you.
About JTX
JTX is Jito Labs' consumer trading product — a high-performance trading terminal built on Solana. We're a lean, high-output team building something that sits at the intersection of execution quality, user experience, and on-chain infrastructure. We own a meaningful portion of Solana's block production, and JTX is how we bring that edge directly to traders.
The Role
This is a high-ownership IC role. The stack is designed. Now it needs someone who can own it, harden it, automate it, and make sure it stays up while traders are trading. You will be running globally distributed infra and you'll be the person who cares most about it (this is an extremely high ownership role).
You'll work directly with engineering leadership. No ticketing system standing between you and a decision. If something is broken, it's your problem. If something can be automated, you'll automate it. If something is insecure, you'll fix it before anyone notices. Get shit done!
