About the Role
Join an early-stage AI infrastructure team building tools that simplify production Kubernetes operations. You will help develop platform capabilities for managing clusters and demanding workloads across infrastructure environments.
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.
Design federated Kubernetes architectures for multi-cluster management.
Automate operational workflows to reduce the overhead of running production workloads.
What We're Looking For
At least 2 years of software development experience, with around 5 years preferred.
Hands-on experience writing Go for Kubernetes environments and managing production Kubernetes clusters at meaningful scale.
Experience with distributed storage such as Ceph or WEKA, federated Kubernetes architectures, and multi-cluster management.
Experience with GitOps and ArgoCD, plus infrastructure as code using Terraform and Helm or comparable tools.
Familiarity with container networking, CNI plugins, service mesh technologies, and cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Experience automating infrastructure or operational workflows; familiarity with Prometheus, Grafana, GPUs, or bare-metal infrastructure is useful.
Strong software development fundamentals and interest in cloud-native infrastructure.
