Frontend Developer jobs in United States

We are a venture-backed tech startup striving to be the leading force in enabling platform engineers. We raised +$30M from top tier VCs such as Khosla Ventures (first investor in OpenAI, GitLab, Stripe, Doordash) and are in a hyper-growth phase looking for motivated people to complement our team.Our headquarters are in San Francisco (Salesforce Tower) but our team is distributed around the globe and we have a remote-first work culture.

We're the company behind vCluster, an open-source technology for virtualizing Kubernetes (+10k GitHub stars). Open source is part of our DNA.

The adoption of our commercial product based on vCluster has grown extremely fast (multi-million dollar revenue) and our customer base includes some of the biggest companies in the world, including 6 Global Fortune 500 companies as well as some of the fastest-growing tech unicorns.

• Design and build new features for our open-source projects and for our commercial product

• Contribute to our roadmap discussions and suggest features and changes

• Take over responsibility for everything you are working on - from talking to a customer, taking on an issue, over planning the implementation, writing the code, adding the tests to actually shipping the feature as part of our release workflow

• Actively engage with our open-source users and customers. This usually involves a deep understanding of user challenges, uncovering root causes, suggesting bug fixes, driving enhancements, advising on best product configurations or inspiring new features.

• Dive really deep into the inner workings of Kubernetes (controllers, CRDs, extension API servers, etc.) and work with some of the best Kubernetes engineers around

• Write Golang code that is easy-to-test, performant, bug-free (no worries, we know that that's an illusion), and well-structured

• Contribute to docs and tests for all projects you are working on to ensure we ship high-quality code and easy to use features for our enterprise customers and open-source community users

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containers in general

• 4+ years of professional programming experience, with a strong proficiency in Golang

• Deep conceptual and architectural understanding of micro-services, containers and complex distributed systems

• A passion for cloud-native ecosystem, for example: CNCF projects, cloud-native developer tools, container build systems, and Kubernetes platforms

• A team player mindset that drives you towards open communication (English). That will help you and your colleagues to stay connected and keep everyone in the loop while being remote

• A special interest for building developer tooling and automation that will drive you to constantly improve and extend our tool suite for the benefit of our users and customers

We offer the following benefits:

• Competitive Salary: We offer a competitive compensation package, including equity.

• Platinum-Level Insurance: Health, dental, vision, and life Insurance, including plans for you and eligible dependents (benefits vary depending on country).

• Flexible Working Schedule: You have a doctor’s appointment or need to head to the supermarket to get groceries at 2pm? We won’t have an issue with that. To us, results matter more than clocking in and out at the same time every day.

• Workplace Flexibility: We’re very flexible about where you work. We know things can change in life and we’re happy to adjust the work environment for you along the way.

• Bold Innovation: We are constantly questioning the state-of-the-art to find and address important issues in our space, even if that means abandoning any existing technologies and starting from scratch again.

• Open Source & Open Mind: We are actively contributing and maintaining open-source projects and we believe that building an open-minded team culture that respects different perspectives and welcomes constructive feedback is equally paramount to our success.
