• Manage chain upgrades, hotfixes, and param changes via governance, migrations, and multi-env execution.
• Own stack reliability: node ops, RPC tuning, indexing, monitoring, alerting, and incident response.

Requirements

• Expert Golang in Cosmos/Tendermint; mastery of state machines and consensus.
• Deep Evmos EVM proficiency: precompiles, opcodes/gas, JSON-RPC, cross-compat.
• Hands-on with Greenfield SDKs/APIs, ACLs, and chain/contract integration patterns.
• Strong in Docker/K8s, CI/CD, IaC for chain infra; plus node ops (pruning, sync, RPC).
