About the role

About the Role

Join an early-stage cloud infrastructure team building tools that simplify production Kubernetes and multi-cluster operations, including demanding AI workloads. You will help shape the platform and its architecture while making complex infrastructure easier for developers to operate.

What You'll Do

  • Build platform features in Go, including custom Kubernetes operators and controllers.
  • Design GitOps workflows with ArgoCD to streamline continuous deployment.
  • Develop infrastructure-as-code patterns with Terraform and Helm to provision and manage clusters.
  • Work with distributed storage technologies such as Ceph and WEKA for scalable, high-performance storage.
  • Create observability and monitoring systems with Prometheus and Grafana to surface cluster health and performance.
  • Build and optimize container networking with Cilium for security and observability.
  • Design federated Kubernetes architectures for multi-cluster management.
  • Automate recurring infrastructure tasks and reduce operational overhead for developers running production workloads.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 2 years of software development experience; approximately 5 years is preferred.
  • Hands-on experience writing Go for Kubernetes environments and managing production Kubernetes clusters at meaningful scale.
  • Experience with distributed storage such as Ceph or WEKA, and designing federated, multi-cluster Kubernetes architectures.
  • Experience with GitOps and ArgoCD, plus infrastructure as code using Terraform, Helm, or comparable tools.
  • Familiarity with container networking, CNI plugins, or service meshes such as Istio or Linkerd.
  • Experience with cloud platforms and managed Kubernetes, automation, and observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.
  • Experience with GPUs, bare-metal infrastructure, or open-source cloud-native projects is valuable.
