Senior DevOps Engineer

Since being founded in 2018, Copper has been building the standard for institutional digital asset infrastructure with a focus on

custody, collateral management, and prime services.

Led by Amar Kuchinad, Copper's Global CEO, the firm provides a comprehensive suite of custody, trading and settlement solutions

that reduce counterparty risk and bring greater capital and operational efficiency to digital asset markets. At the heart of

Copper's offering is Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology – the gold standard in secure custody. Copper’s multi-award winning

custody system is unique in that it can be connected to centralised exchanges, DeFi applications and even staking pools without

the assets leaving the custody.

Built on top of this state-of-the-art custody, ClearLoop is the first solution in the market that overcomes a growing industry

challenge; counterparty risk with exchanges. This solution underpins a full prime services offering, connecting global exchanges,

and enabling customers to trade and settle directly from the safety of their MPC-secured wallets. By reducing settlement time for

transfers to a few milliseconds (without blockchain network dependency) and offering enhanced security measures, ClearLoop is

rapidly reshaping the way asset managers trade and manage capital.

In addition to industry-leading security certifications, Copper has one of the strongest insurance coverages in the industry from

an A+ rated insurer, positioning the firm as the partner of choice for institutions seeking to safeguard their assets.

The Engineering department is the backbone of Copper; entrusted with the critical responsibility of building and securing the

infrastructure that safeguards billions of dollars in digital assets. We operate at the intersection of traditional institutional

finance and decentralized blockchain technology.

We believe the best infrastructure comes from curious minds working openly together. Our engineering organisation brings together

people with diverse backgrounds and experiences who genuinely enjoy solving hard problems. We foster a blame-free, intellectually

honest environment where you're encouraged to take thoughtful risks and think big. You'll have the autonomy to own meaningful

projects while gaining the support you need to grow your skills and advance your career.

We’re looking for a Senior DevOps engineer at the intersection of software development and platform engineering. In this role,

your focus will be enabling fast, reliable, and secure delivery of our systems, whilst continuously improving how our

infrastructure is built and operated, including our blockchain environments.

Day-to-day, you’ll tackle platform and deployment challenges through pragmatic engineering and automation. You’ll build

and operate scalable, self-service infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and blockchain platforms, including node provisioning, network

deployment, and lifecycle management. You’ll optimise build and release pipelines, improve system resilience, and ensure

‘traditional’ and blockchain infrastructure can scale with the needs of the business.

You will collaborate closely with engineering and SRE teams, focusing on infrastructure as code, developer experience, and

operational scalability across the engineering organisation, with ownership of the reliability and performance of blockchain nodes

and supporting systems.

• Building a fault-tolerant, geographically distributed infrastructure: support of multiple data centres, providing replication,

sharding, auto balancing and failover.

• Participating in deployment of services with strict availability requirements on a large-scale environment and working together

with other Engineers to ensure our systems meet current and future demand.

• Develop and maintain code for automated infrastructure management (DevOps, Infrastructure as Code) with the use of Ansible and

Terraform.

• Working collaboratively with the Backend Engineering team to increase our resilience through insightful systems and application

metrics.

• Improving our CI/CD pipeline to provide new integration vectors. Building and maintaining infrastructure for its own fleet of

blockchain nodes (>25 layer 1 protocols now, and more to come)

• Hands-on experience running and maintaining blockchain infrastructure (e.g. node deployment, syncing, upgrades, monitoring, and

troubleshooting).

• Experience implementing and operating secure systems (IAM, secrets management, network security controls, vulnerability

management).

At Copper, we keep innovation, openness, and curiosity at the centre of everything we do. Here, bold ideas get the spotlight,

learning is constant, and diversity shapes our team from the ground up.

Jump into a fast-moving, dynamic team that loves a challenge and knows how to have fun along the way. Collaboration is just as

important as results—you’ll be surrounded by smart, driven colleagues in London and across our APAC, Switzerland, UAE, and US

offices.

Hybrid working model – we believe in the value of bringing people together and at the same time we embrace the adaptability

of flexibly working.

Diversity and inclusion matter to us – they’re woven into Copper life. From employee-led groups like Women at Copper to a

committee focused on community and wellbeing, you’ll have a network that supports you from day one. Everyone voice matters.

Our interview process is designed to be thoughtful, efficient, and engaging. While specific steps may vary slightly depending on

the role, the typical journey includes:

1. Initial Screening A brief conversation with our Talent Acquisition team to explore your background, motivations, and alignment

with the role.

skills, problem-solving approaches, and technical experience.

1. In-Person Interview A conversation focused on team dynamics, collaboration style, and any final technical questions. This may

be with cross-functional peers or leadership.

Additional steps may be added based on the role's complexity or seniority. We aim to keep the process transparent and respectful
