Job description

At Anaplan, we are a team of innovators focused on optimizing business decision‑making through our leading AI‑infused scenario planning and analysis platform so our customers can outpace their competition and the market.

What unites Anaplanners across teams and geographies is our collective commitment to our customers’ success and to our Winning Culture.

Our customers rank among the who’s who in the Fortune 50. Coca‑Cola, LinkedIn, Adobe, LVMH and Bayer are just a few of the 2,400+ global companies who rely on our best‑in‑class platform.

Our Winning Culture is the engine that drives our teams of innovators. We champion diversity of thought and ideas, we behave like leaders regardless of title, we are committed to achieving ambitious goals, and we love celebrating our wins – big and small.

Supported by operating principles of being strategy‑led, values‑based and disciplined in execution, you’ll be inspired, connected, developed and rewarded here. Everything that makes you unique is welcome; join us and let’s build what’s next – together!

What you will be doing:

• Kubernetes Engineering & Automation

  You don't just write Helm charts or YAML manifests; you extend the Kubernetes API.

  • Custom Operators: Proven ability to write Kubernetes Operators (using Kubebuilder or Operator SDK) to manage complex, stateful application lifecycles.
  • Control Plane Logic: Deep understanding of reconciliation loops, custom resource definitions (CRDs), and how to automate operational knowledge into code.
• Scalable Microservices & Distributed Systems

  You build for high concurrency, low latency, and eventual consistency.

  • High-Scale SaaS: 6+ years of experience building and operating production‑grade SaaS products. You have first‑hand experience with the "death by a thousand cuts" that comes with scaling to millions of requests.
  • Systems Programming: Advanced proficiency in Go or JVM‑based languages, with a focus on writing memory‑efficient and thread‑safe code.
• Deep‑Tier Cloud Storage & Persistence

  You understand the physics of data.

  • Storage Internals: We need more than S3 API knowledge. You should understand the performance characteristics, limitations, and cost‑drivers of S3, NFS, and enterprise storage like NetApp OnTap or AWS FSx.
  • Data Locality: Experience managing data persistence across hybrid environments (Public Cloud vs. Private DC).
• Operational Maturity (The "SRE" DNA)

  You believe that "if it isn't monitored, it doesn't exist."

  • Instrumentation: Expert‑level experience with OpenTelemetry. You don't just look at metrics; you design the telemetry that allows for deep‑dive distributed tracing and root‑cause analysis.
  • Observability Infrastructure: Hands‑on experience scaling Prometheus and Grafana to handle high‑cardinality data.

More about you:

• BS degree in Computer Science, related technical field, or equivalent practical experience as a professional Platform Engineer.
• 6-9 years of programming experience in Golang or Java.
• Proven experience in building and operating a SaaS product at scale.
• Proven cloud experience using observability and operating workloads in Kubernetes.
• Experience with cloud storage S3, NFS, NetApp OnTap, AWS FSX.
• Distributed Systems and programming techniques.
• Monitoring and metrics infrastructure (OTEL, Prometheus, Grafana).
• Bonus: Experience with AI/ML, Natural Language.

Technologies you’ll work with:

• Programming languages: GoLang, Java11, Kotlin, Python.
• Storage & Persistence: S3, NFS.
• Container and Orchestration: Kubernetes/Containers (Docker)/Rancher RKE.
• Deployment: Jenkins, ArgoCD.

What we offer:

• A rewarding, progressive career with a company that values diversity, flexibility and understands the need for a good work/life balance.
• Market‑leading salaries combined with generous bonuses, and a range of comprehensive benefits.
• Regular agile meetups, events, and hackathons (both attending and hosting!).
• Flexible working, catered lunches, a fully stocked kitchen, and plenty of parties and events.
• A range of sports, health, and wellbeing initiatives.
• 3 days of paid leave every year to help support the charity or cause of your choice.
• Huge problems to tackle –you will constantly be learning and pushing boundaries, working with some of the smartest people around!
