ZIGChain is building the next generation of blockchain infrastructure focused on security, scalability, and interoperability, with a mission to empower financial freedom through transparent, decentralized systems.

- Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, SSH, firewalls and security groups.
- Git: comfortable with the everyday branch/commit/PR workflow.
- Sound credential and access hygiene: proper SSH key handling, least-privilege IAM, keeping secrets out of code and repositories, and keeping systems patched.
Nice to have
- Terraform beyond the basics: modules, remote state, multi-environment setups.
- Blockchain node experience, whether with Cosmos specifically or another chain.
- Docker; Kubernetes exposure.
- Monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana).
- Python for tooling beyond Bash.
