About the role

About the Role

Join an early-stage infrastructure team building tools that simplify production Kubernetes operations for demanding AI workloads. You will help develop the platform and systems behind reliable, multi-cluster infrastructure.

What You'll Do

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

What We're Looking For

  • At least 2 years of software development experience, with around 5 years preferred.
  • Hands-on experience writing Go for Kubernetes environments, including production-scale cluster management.
  • Experience with distributed storage such as Ceph or WEKA and 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, service meshes, and observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.
  • Experience with cloud Kubernetes offerings, bare-metal infrastructure, or GPU workloads is useful.
  • Automation experience and contributions to Kubernetes or other open-source infrastructure projects are valued.
