Qualifications

• 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.

Responsibilities

• Build platform features in Go for Kubernetes operators and controllers.
• Design GitOps workflows with ArgoCD to streamline deployments.
• 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.
