Platform Engineer, Kubernetes

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.
