- Join a highly skilled team building our core product offering.
- Build a world-class Kubernetes resource management platform to improve the productivity of DevOps teams across the world.
- Gain a deep understanding of Kubernetes and container technologies.
- Write extensive code in Go and develop deep expertise in Kubernetes internals.
- Enjoy a high degree of autonomy and responsibility.

- 4+ years of industry experience developing complex, technically demanding, large-scale systems.
- A good understanding of cloud-native technologies, including container technologies and Kubernetes.
