We’re seeking a hands-on

CTO Advisor to stabilize reliability (stop regressions, reduce Sev-1s), install a lightweight

SDLC/SRE/MLOps cadence, and leave behind simple runbooks and dashboards the team can operate.

This is an

advisor role (not a line-manager): you design gates, coach leads, and facilitate incident and release

hygiene.

Type: Advisor (contract)

Time: 10–20 hrs/week (90 days), then 2–4 hrs/month

Comp: Equity +

$TMAI only (no cash)

Reporting to: CEO

Location: Austin preferred; open to remote (US/EU/APAC time-zones)

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)

  • Establish release gates in CI/CD (tests/coverage, static checks, feature flags, canary/shadow) and clear rollback/kill-switch triggers.
  • Implement SRE fundamentals: 3–5 SLOs (e.g., data freshness, job success rate, API latency/availability, exception closure time) with an error-budget policy.
  • Enforce Change & Exceptions Logs; drive post-mortems (Sev-1/2) with action items and owners.
  • Pair with Quant to harden AI index safety (model/versioning, parity tests, drift/health alerts).
  • Produce concise runbooks & dashboards; coach engineering leads; hand back the system.
  • What You Won’t Do (Scope guardrails)

  • No day-to-day people management or sprint ownership.
  • No wallet signatory or payment approvals.
  • No changes to liquidity or emissions policy (owned by the $TMAI council).
  • Qualifications

  • Must-have
  • 4+ years leading engineering in crypto (protocol/DeFi, exchange, market/data infra, or comparable).
  • Proven SDLC/DevOps/CI-CD and SRE practice (SLOs + error budgets + incident response).
  • Experience shipping data/ML systems or MLOps basics (versioning, parity tests, safe rollout).
  • Excellent technical writing and async collaboration.
  • Nice-to-have
  • Smart-contract security/audit handoffs; keys/secrets/multisig hygiene.
  • Prior work with index/market-data pipelines or exchange connectivity.
  • Success Metrics (first 90 days)

  • Reliability: measurable reduction in failures (e.g., Sev-1/MTTR ↓ ≥20%; regression escapes ↓ ≥30%).
  • Hygiene: 100% prod changes pre-logged; Sev-1 post-mortems with actions ≤72h; SLOs live and reported monthly.
  • Adoption: release gates and runbooks in use by named owners without advisor involvement.
  • Collaboration

  • Operating Chair (monthly business review), Quant (AI indices), $TMAI observers (liquidity dependencies), Finance & Controls (audit evidence).
  • How to Apply

  • Share:
  • 1) a redacted SLO doc you authored
  • 2) a redacted incident/runbook you wrote, 3) two sentences on your biggest reliability turnaround and the gate you added afterward.
  • Additional Information
