Company Description3thix strives to transform the economics of the gaming industry by providing in-game token/currency liquidity between games of a publisher, decreasing attrition and lowering customer acquisition costs for our game publishers (e.g. Roblox, Epic/Fortnite, Steam, etc.) and the 2 billion monthly active users. It also captures in-game transactional data (purchases, level ups, achievements, transfers, etc.) to build a blockchain-backed ledger for publishers and content creators to finely target audiences. The fintech platform includes payments (credit/debit card, ACH, banking, FBO deposit accounts) as well as blockchains, including the integration with L1/L2 blockchains, creating liquidity pools, loyalty/airdrops, and the launch of the utility tokens. Our payments platform will handle both custodial and non-custodial wallets, automated DEX, liquidity pools, trade pairs and least cost routing. It also handles the minting and burning of tokens and NFTs. On the martech side, the platform collects all of the transactional information from game play as well as using AI/ML to scrub the data to create an ad network with finely-grained targeting. Players will earn tokens for watching and interacting with ads which can be redeemed for game tokens.Role DescriptionThis is a remote contract role for a Senior DevOps/Site Reliability Engineer specializing in event-driven microservices using AWS, Terraform, and EKS.
