The Role

As Director of Engineering, Infrastructure & Platform, you will own the vision, strategy, and execution of one of the most sophisticated, high-throughput distributed systems in the blockchain ecosystem. You’ll lead multiple teams responsible for the core platform that powers Alchemy’s products, where reliability, performance, and cost efficiency at massive scale are mission-critical.

In this role, you will set the long-term technical direction for platform infrastructure, partner closely with Product and Executive Leadership, and ensure Alchemy continues to operate at the frontier of Web3 infrastructure.

  • Define and own the platform and infrastructure strategy, ensuring scalability, reliability, performance, and cost efficiency across the organization.

  • Serve as a senior technical leader, influencing architecture and systems design for large-scale, mission-critical distributed systems.

  • Partner with Product, Security, Finance, and Executive Leadership to align platform investments with company goals and customer needs.
