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.
