ABOUT AGORA

At Agora, our mission is to transform how money moves. We believe stablecoins will underpin a new financial fabric, one that is faster, more global, and more efficient than today's siloed systems. That is why we are building AUSD and the Agora stack, a full service platform that makes issuing, managing, and integrating stablecoins seamless, whether you're a developer, fintech, or institution. With AUSD, stablecoins become programmable, composable, and ubiquitous by default.

We believe digital dollars should be a public good: trusted, accessible, and built for real-world utility. Our mission is to drive adoption through customizable, user-friendly on-ramps that make stable, dollar-based value available onchain.

We're backed by world-class investors including Paradigm and Dragonfly, and we're growing a team to reimagine how value moves online.

We're intentional about who we bring on. If you're passionate about stablecoins and want to help create more open, intuitive ways for people to engage with money, let's talk.

ABOUT THE TEAM

We bring the discipline of high-performance finance teams and the creativity of a fast-moving crypto-native startup. We're a small, mission-driven group of builders who move fast, sweat the details, and hold a high bar for excellence, in product, code, and culture.

You'll be joining a tight-knit team that values clear thinking, extreme ownership, and high-velocity decision making. We operate in short feedback loops, support one another without ego, and are deeply motivated by the opportunity to build foundational infrastructure for the future of money.

Before applying, please review our Agora Engineering Culture and Ways of Working document. It reflects how we think, operate, and hold ourselves accountable, and it's the best way to assess whether this environment is the right fit for you.

JOB SUMMARY

We're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to design and build Agora's internal platform that empowers product teams to ship software with confidence, reliability, and speed. This role brings a Software Engineering mindset to infrastructure: building reusable abstractions, internal services, developer tooling, and infrastructure primitives that reduce cognitive load for application teams and the Infrastructure team itself.

You will own core platform components such as our TypeScript Pulumi codebase, Kubernetes-based runtime environments, and monitoring stack. The work centers on architecting scalable systems, enforcing engineering standards through code, and continuously improving developer experience through well-engineered platform capabilities.

We value real-time collaboration and prefer candidates located close to Eastern Time, while welcoming exceptional engineers across Pacific Time through ET+2. Regardless of where you are located, your working hours will need to have a majority overlap with ET business hours.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

5+ years of professional Software Engineering experience, including substantial work in Infrastructure and Cloud domains
Strong programming skills in TypeScript or another strictly typed language
Strong understanding of distributed systems fundamentals (availability, consistency, observability, fault tolerance)
Experience designing and maintaining infrastructure-as-code systems
Deep understanding of AWS architecture
Experience designing, operating, and scaling Kubernetes workloads
Proven ability to build reusable systems and abstractions rather than one-off scripts

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience defining SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, and building incident tooling
Experience improving Observability practices, defining alerts, operational dashboards and business metrics
Familiarity with GitOps patterns and deployment automation technologies
Expertise in DevEx or Developer Productivity
Experience building Internal Development Platforms with focus on self-service and golden paths
Experience in maintenance and operations of production-grade systems and on-call rotations

Agora operates a centralized USD-pegged stablecoin platform with robust compliance, security, and governance. We are equally committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace.
