Job summary

Rerun is seeking a hands-on engineer to design and maintain a Kubernetes operator that automates deployment of our multimodal data stack into customer environments and cloud. You will own the control plane, implement CRDs and controllers, and contribute to the platform's reliability and scale.

The role welcomes earlier-career engineers and offers a remote-friendly US role with collaboration across time zones, paid vacation, and equity.

Qualifications

• Strong software engineering background with IaC mindset.
• Deep Kubernetes experience with operators: CRDs, controllers, and production-ready code.
• Proficiency in Go and the ability to read or contribute to a Rust codebase.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems and data-intensive infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain a Kubernetes operator, including CRDs, controllers, reconciliation logic, APIs, tests, and releases for the control plane.
• Extend the platform during onboarding so new networking, IAM, storage, and cluster requirements work end to end.
• Improve production reliability and scale through observability, CI/CD, and incident response across environments.

Job description

A small infrastructure team is building a multimodal data stack for physical AI, including a catalog and storage engine that already handles petabytes of robot training data for early customers. This role owns the control plane — chiefly a Kubernetes operator — that automates deployment of the commercial product into the company's cloud and into customer environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain a Kubernetes operator, including CRDs, controllers, reconciliation logic, APIs, tests, and releases for the control plane.
• Extend the platform during customer onboarding so new networking, IAM, storage, and cluster requirements work end to end.
• Improve production reliability and scale through observability, CI/CD, and incident response across local dev, staging, and production.
• Participate in follow-the-sun on-call rotations with the rest of the team.

Requirements

• Strong software engineering background treating infrastructure as code you build, not just systems you operate.
• Deep Kubernetes experience with the operator pattern: CRDs, controllers via controller-runtime, kubebuilder, or operator-sdk, shipped to production.
• Proficiency in Go and the ability to read or contribute to an asynchronous Rust codebase, with eagerness to learn where needed.
• Solid grasp of distributed systems and data-intensive infrastructure.
• Earlier-career engineers with strong fundamentals and genuine interest in the work are welcome; the team hires across levels.

Nice to have

• Interest in robotics, AR/VR, ML, or simulation.

Benefits and work setup

• Remote role based on the US East Coast.
• Remote-first company headquartered in Europe with growing presence in San Francisco; teams spread across European and US time zones with a few hours of daily overlap.
• Roughly one in-person week per quarter.
• Competitive cash and equity compensation, six weeks paid vacation, and a hardware and software budget for the role.
• 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave for every parent, on top of local statutory entitlements.
