About The Role
Join an early-stage cloud-native startup building a next-generation platform that abstracts Kubernetes complexity while preserving its full power. As a Platform Engineer, you'll work closely with the founding team to design core platform features, GitOps workflows, and the infrastructure layer that makes multi-cluster management intuitive for developers. This is a high-impact, early-team opportunity where your contributions will directly shape the product and architecture.
What You'll Do
- Build and extend core platform features using Go, including custom Kubernetes operators and controllers.
- Design and implement GitOps workflows with ArgoCD to streamline and automate continuous deployment.
- Develop infrastructure-as-code patterns using Terraform and Helm to provision and manage clusters.
- Work on distributed storage solutions using Ceph and WEKA for high-performance, scalable storage.
- Create observability and monitoring systems with Prometheus and Grafana to surface cluster health and performance metrics.
- Build and optimize container networking with Cilium for network security and observability.
- Design and implement federated Kubernetes architectures for multi-cluster management.
- Build automation tooling to reduce operational overhead for developers running production workloads.
- Contribute to open-source components and help establish platform architecture patterns as an early team member.
