- Design and maintain a suite of monitoring and alert infrastructure for routing nodes
- Develop and collect metrics to passively analyze of the health of the network based on graph and node level signals
- Design and build novel systems designed to help nodes/users acquire and manage liquidity on the Lightning Network

Skills:
- Experience building and operating secure, scalable, highly-available systems
- Experience developing and supporting publicly available APIs
- Familiarity contributing to open source projects preferred
- Experience in systems programming languages such as Go, C or C++
