Platform Engineer (Kubernetes)

About the Role

Join an early-stage infrastructure team building tools that simplify production Kubernetes operations for demanding AI workloads. You will help develop the platform and systems behind reliable, multi-cluster infrastructure.

What You'll Do

• Build platform features in Go, including custom Kubernetes operators and controllers.

• Design GitOps workflows with ArgoCD to streamline continuous deployment.

• 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.

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, 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.
