About the Role

Join an early-stage AI infrastructure team building tools that simplify production Kubernetes and multi-cluster operations. You will help develop the platform and infrastructure patterns that support demanding cloud-native workloads.

What You'll Do

  • Build platform features in Go, including custom Kubernetes operators and controllers.
  • Design GitOps workflows with ArgoCD to streamline continuous deployment.
  • Develop infrastructure-as-code patterns with Terraform and Helm to provision and manage clusters.
  • Work with distributed storage technologies such as Ceph and WEKA.
  • Create observability and monitoring systems with Prometheus and Grafana.
  • Build and optimize container networking with Cilium for security and observability.
  • Design federated Kubernetes architectures for multi-cluster management.
  • Develop automation that reduces operational overhead for production workloads.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 2 years of software development experience, with approximately 5 years preferred.
  • Hands-on experience writing Go in Kubernetes environments, including production-scale cluster management.
  • Experience designing federated Kubernetes architectures and managing multiple clusters.
  • Experience with distributed storage such as Ceph or WEKA.
  • Experience with GitOps and ArgoCD, plus infrastructure as code using Terraform and Helm or comparable tools.
  • Familiarity with observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana; contributions to Kubernetes ecosystem or other open-source infrastructure projects are also relevant.
