Shape the foundation of a scalable compute platform by designing and refining core Kubernetes infrastructure that powers services across dozens of clusters and multiple environments. You'll lead efforts to modernize networking, deployment systems, and security controls, ensuring resilience and performance as the platform evolves.
What You'll Do
- Design and implement scalable Kubernetes platform features, focusing on cluster management, networking, and deployment reliability
- Lead migration initiatives such as upgrading CNI plugins and refining IP security policies across regions
- Refactor critical deployment systems—transitioning from TypeScript to Golang—and apply efficient operator patterns to resolve scaling constraints
- Enhance developer workflows for service creation, deployment, and operational best practices
- Collaborate with security teams to enforce governance, least privilege access, image signing, and compliance safeguards
- Define and monitor SLOs to maintain high standards of platform reliability and incident response
- Conduct architecture reviews, guide infrastructure decisions, and mentor engineers in distributed systems design
- Spend the majority of your time in hands-on development, with dedicated focus on design, mentorship, and cross-team alignment
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on infrastructure and platform systems
- Proven expertise operating Kubernetes platforms at scale, including deep knowledge of controllers, CRDs, networking, and cluster architecture
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation
- Familiarity with CI/CD ecosystems including ArgoCD, Spinnaker, or Jenkins
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset across engineering teams
- Empathy for developers deploying services, with a sense of ownership and autonomy
- Experience with AWS and EKS is a plus
Work Environment
This role supports hybrid work with team presence in San Francisco, New York, or remotely within the U.S. The organization values inclusive collaboration and empowers engineers to lead technical direction close to the systems they own.
