### 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.
