Job Description

About the Role

Join an early-stage team building infrastructure that makes production Kubernetes easier to deploy and manage for demanding AI workloads. You will help shape the platform layer and its multi-cluster capabilities, working across systems engineering, automation, and cloud-native 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.

  • 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 cluster storage.

  • Create observability 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.

  • Develop automation that reduces operational work for teams running production workloads.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 2 years of software development experience, with approximately 5 years preferred.

  • Hands-on experience writing Go for Kubernetes environments and managing production-scale clusters.

  • Experience with distributed storage such as Ceph or WEKA, federated Kubernetes, and multi-cluster management.

  • Experience with GitOps and ArgoCD, plus infrastructure as code using Terraform, Helm, or comparable tools.

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms, managed Kubernetes, container networking, or service mesh technologies.

  • Experience with Prometheus and Grafana is useful, as are contributions to open-source infrastructure projects.
