What you'd
own
- Build and maintain our in-house developer
platforms — full-stack applications that provision and manage resources across
multiple environments, spanning Kubernetes, CI/CD and observability.
- Run a multi-cluster
Kubernetes fleet across multiple regions — several hundred production services,
with complete GitOps delivery.
- Develop and implement
automation for infrastructure provisioning and related tooling to streamline
engineering and infrastructure operations.
- Design, implement and
maintain infrastructure components.
- Identify, diagnose
and resolve performance bottlenecks and issues across environments.
- Advocate for and
promote best practices in software development and enhance the developer
experience across engineering teams.
- Own scaling, capacity
and application performance strategy — defining SLOs and SLIs, managing error
budgets, and driving capacity planning across the fleet.
- Manage security and
compliance policies as code across the fleet.
Required
- Bachelor's degree in
computer science or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
- Proficiency in at
least one modern programming language — Python preferred, for building
full-scale application services covering web frameworks, databases and queues
(not just scripting).
- In-depth experience
with AWS, Linux and Kubernetes.
- Proven
troubleshooting skills with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues.
- Experience with CI/CD
and automation pipelines, and familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Ansible,
Terraform) and GitOps (ArgoCD) tooling.
- Sound reasoning about
concurrency and failure: idempotency, optimistic concurrency, delivery
semantics.
Nice to
have
- Understanding of
extending the Kubernetes API: CRDs and controller runtimes.
- Service mesh
experience, ideally Istio.
- Familiarity with LLMs
and MCP, fluency with AI coding tools, and experience authoring skills for
coding agents.
- A strong point of
view on where AI should and shouldn't be trusted in a safety-critical system
