About the role
Responsibilities
Own and evolve our Kubernetes platform, including cluster architecture, upgrades, multi-tenancy, and workload isolation.
Build and maintain infrastructure components using Go and Python across compute, networking, and storage.
Design and improve CI/CD pipelines that enable safe and fast software delivery.
Implement observability tooling and dashboards that surface system health and improve oncall effectiveness.
Automate operational workflows, especially around K8s operations, to reduce manual intervention and increase consistency.
Collaborate with product and backend teams to embed operational best practices into product development.
Participate in incident response and ongoing efforts to improve system reliability and security.
Example projects include:
Autoscaling our Kubernetes clusters in the EU region and building out private link networking.
Designing secure CI/CD pipelines with observability baked in from the start.
Building logging frameworks that make cross-system debugging way less painful.
Requirements
Hands-on Kubernetes experience: you've operated clusters in production, not just deployed workloads onto them.
Experience working with cloud-native infrastructure more broadly (AWS, Terraform, service meshes, etc.).
Programming skills in Go and/or Python, and the ability to design systems that are secure, scalable, and maintainable.
Familiarity with observability tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry.
A real sense of ownership and a pragmatic approach to engineering tradeoffs.
Interest in building internal tools and automation to make development and operations easier for others.
Nice-to-Haves
Experience with multi-tenancy and workload isolation in Kubernetes.
Background in building internal tools and automation.
Compensation and Benefits
Competitive salary and stock options.
100% paid medical, dental, and vision for employees, plus 80% coverage for dependents.
Build and operate Kubernetes-based compute and runtime infrastructure powering AI search, assistant, and agent workloads across multi-cloud environments. Own reliability, scalability, cost-efficiency, and on-call for production platform services.
