About Morpho

Morpho is a leading Decentralized Finance (DeFi) lending protocol that raised million from a16z, Paradigm, Ribbit, Apollo, Coinbase and 50 others to build an open credit network giving anyone, anywhere, access to the best borrowing and lending terms on-chain. Morpho is experiencing exponential adoption, with over 10 billion dollars in deposits on the network and used by the largest names in the industry such as such as Coinbase, Apollo, Kraken, Binance, .... Now, Morpho is scaling its team to establish itself as the open credit network, not just of DeFi, but of the world.
Why Morpho Exists

Building something meaningful takes resources, yet access to capital still depends on where you live, who you know, and which institutions are willing to trust you. Even when capital is available, it sits fragmented across disconnected networks and hidden behind intermediaries. The result is a system that fails most of the people it should serve. Borrowers overpay. Lenders earn less than they should. Many are shut out entirely, not because they are unworthy of credit, but because today's infrastructure was never built to connect them. Morpho exists to solve this. Full article here.

How we work

We move fast on hard problems in a nascent market with no set playbook: navigating uncertainty is part of the job. You'll be challenged: anyone can question work and decisions must be justified. We keep a high bar and match it with high support: we help each other unblock and share context openly, with low ego. More about our values: morpho.org/jobs.
Role

The mission of this role is to own Morpho's infrastructure platform end-to-end so the engineering org can ship faster, operate safely at institutional reliability standards, and scale across chains and regions without reliability or indexing bottlenecks.
Responsibilities

• Architect and scale production infrastructure with pragmatic patterns and automation to achieve high availability and predictable performance under $10B+ deposits.
• Build self-service infrastructure with developer tooling and paved paths to reduce deployment time, unblock engineers, and increase deploy frequency.
• Design and evolve high-performance data and indexing systems with scalable architectures to process billions of on-chain events with sub-minute latency.
• Establish GitOps-based deployment practices with progressive rollouts and safe rollback mechanisms to reduce MTTR and increase operational confidence.
• Implement end-to-end observability with metrics, tracing, and alerting to proactively detect issues and meet agreed SLOs.
• Lead incident management and post-mortems with clear written follow-ups to improve reliability, learning, and long-term system health.
• Drive infrastructure strategy through written RFCs, infrastructure-as-code standards, and cross-team alignment to ensure infrastructure decisions map to product and business impact.

What Success Looks Like
First 30 days

Build deep context on Morpho's on-chain deployment patterns, core services, and current infra pain points. Align on reliability and developer velocity targets, and document an initial infrastructure strategy and priorities. Set a rhythm for incident reviews and architecture discussions.
First 4 months

Deliver first visible improvements to developer velocity (CI/CD, deployment workflow, tooling) and reliability (alerting coverage, clearer on-call and incident process). Reduce the biggest bottlenecks blocking product delivery, including critical indexing and data pipeline constraints. Put in place foundations for secure access (IAM, secrets) and consistent infra practices (IaC and GitOps).
In 1 year

Achieve multi-region readiness for at least one tier-1 surface with tested failover meeting agreed RTO/RPO. Improve developer productivity meaningfully - faster deploys, fewer pages, smoother operations - while meeting SLOs. Reduce platform unit costs through measured optimization and a strong, simple operating model.
Must-have Experience & Skills

• 10+ years building and scaling production infrastructure, with clear ownership of reliability and delivery outcomes.
• Proven experience leading infrastructure transformations that improved developer velocity and system reliability.
• Strong systems thinking and ability to translate infrastructure decisions into clear trade-offs and business impact.
• Calm under pressure, with experience leading incident response and post-mortems for high-stakes outages.
• Clear async communication: writes crisp RFCs, runbooks, and incident reviews that others can execute without meetings.
• Thrives in fast-changing, ambiguous environments where the playbook doesn't exist yet and priorities shift quickly.
• High ownership and autonomy - acts without waiting for permission, takes responsibility for outcomes not just outputs.
• Team-first mindset: low ego, shares credit, puts the mission above personal goals.
• Humble.
