Blockchain infrastructure platform for Web3 development teams
Quicknode operates a managed blockchain node infrastructure service built on Kubernetes, Terraform, and Go, serving as the RPC backbone for Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, and other chains. The tech stack reveals a systems-heavy organization optimized for uptime and performance: heavy use of Prometheus, Grafana, and ClickHouse for observability, Scylla and PostgreSQL for state management, and a recent push toward infrastructure-as-code maturity (Ansible, Terraform adoption). Hiring skews heavily senior engineering (6 of 15 open roles) focused on chain integrations, database scaling, and validator operations — indicating they're moving beyond basic RPC services toward deeper infrastructure work.
Quicknode provides managed blockchain node infrastructure for Web3 teams, enabling access to blockchain data and state across multiple chains (Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Cosmos) via standardized APIs. Founded in 2017 and based in Miami, the company operates at 99.99% uptime with SOC 1 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, positioning it as the infrastructure layer for dApps and institutional blockchain projects. Their active project work spans chain launches and upgrades, database cluster scaling, validator operations, and emerging partnerships with data-availability providers like Celestia. The pain-point mix—validator slashing prevention, production incident reduction, infrastructure cost efficiency, and partner ecosystem expansion—reflects a scaling operation managing both technical reliability and go-to-market velocity.
Go, Python, Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm for infrastructure; Prometheus, Grafana, ClickHouse for observability; PostgreSQL, Scylla, Redis for data; and blockchain clients including Geth, Nethermind, Erigon, Lighthouse.
