ReleaseEngineer

## Description About Jito Jito builds the Market Layer of Solana: the execution systems, capital markets, and incentive mechanisms that power real markets on-chain. Our products process billions in daily transaction value, Jito-Solana runs on the vast majority of Solana’s active stake, BAM is redefining how blocks get built, and JitoSOL is the leading liquid staking token on the network. Jito is a small team with product-market fit across multiple product lines and years of runway. We are looking for a Release/Deployment Engineer to help own the operational execution of releases across Jito’s validator, block-building, RPC, simulator, and infrastructure systems. About the Role Jito’s infrastructure spans multiple high-stakes systems and repositories, including Jito-Solana, BAM, RPC’s, Block Engine, and related services. We regularly need to absorb upstream Anza changes, propagate those changes into downstream Jito repositories, validate behavior across environments, and safely roll upgrades through testnet and mainnet. You will work closely with the infrastructure lead to execute release strategy, maintain release playbooks, perform deployments, monitor rollouts, coordinate rollback paths, and improve the automation and reliability of the release process over time. You will be working on production infrastructure where correctness, uptime, latency, and operational discipline matter. ## Responsibilities Own and execute software upgrades and releases across Jito infrastructure, including testnet upgrades, mainnet canaries, staged rollouts, and patches. Own the operational release checklist from preflight validation through deployment, monitoring, rollback readiness, and post-release follow-up. Keep release playbooks, runbooks, deployment checklists, and rollback procedures accurate and usable. Coordinate version/config consistency across environments, services, and repositories. Monitor releases in real time using dashboards, logs, alerts, and service-level health che
