Job description

WHAT IS EXOWARE?

Exoware is the managed infrastructure offering built around Commonware https://commonware.xyz/, an open-source framework for high-performance decentralized systems.

The software powering Exoware largely exists in alpha form. Now we need to build the production environment around it.

We’re looking for an experienced systems builder to make that happen.

THE ROLE

Think of it as building the machine that runs the machine.

You’ll build the systems required to deploy, scale, monitor, secure, and recover Exoware in production. That includes infrastructure automation as well as writing software to drive that automation.

There’s no mature production environment to inherit. The initial approach will be cloud-first and pragmatic, using proven systems where they make sense.

WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON

•Build Exoware’s production environment from the ground up.

•Automate deployment, scaling, upgrades, and recovery.

•Build CI/CD, monitoring, telemetry, and operational tooling.

•Design for data safety, availability, and security.

•Work across Kubernetes, ECS, cloud services, and related infrastructure.

•Write software that improves how Exoware is deployed and operated.

•Feed production insights back into the underlying software.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You’ve built production infrastructure for real systems at a meaningful scale.

You’re the kind of engineer who wants someone to hand you software and say: make this run reliably.

Relevant experience includes:

•Greenfield production infrastructure

•Distributed or stateful systems

•Cloud infrastructure and orchestration

•Kubernetes, ECS, or similar systems

•CI/CD and deployment automation

•Observability, reliability, and recovery

•Networking, storage, or systems software

We need a builder who is comfortable writing code, making architectural decisions, and creating the production environment rather than inheriting one.
