Your Impact
You will design and build the infrastructure primitives that define how Chainlink Decentralized Oracle Networks (DONs) scale across internal systems and the decentralized ecosystem.

You will help create the CRE (Kubernetes-based) control plane that enables:

Deterministic horizontal scaling of DONs

Safe and repeatable infrastructure expansion

Improved operational efficiency and scalability

You will develop the core infrastructure components, including Kubernetes Operators and scaling automation, that Product teams will adopt and then might later be distributed to external node operators to improve decentralized scaling.

This is not an operational support role. You will be building the systems that define how Chainlink scales while shaping the reliability, scalability, and decentralization of protocol-level services.
