Job Description

To be successful in this role you have:
- You will own the design and delivery of significant components and core subsystems of our Kubernetes platform-for example secrets and certificate management, workload identity, storage, or cluster networking-from design through production operation.
- You will take a loosely defined platform problem and turn it into a design, a plan, and shipped software, with limited scaffolding from others.
- You will contribute to the architecture of distributed workloads running on the platform, working with the teams who depend on it to get the runtime and isolation model right.
- You will spend most of your time hands-on in code-operators and controllers, infrastructure automation, and platform services-and in the reviews that keep their quality high.
- You will own the operability of what you build: SLOs, failure modes, upgrade and migration paths, and on-call for your own systems.
- You will partner with senior staff and principal engineers to keep your work aligned with the wider platform architecture,



and mentor engineers earlier in their careers.
- You will help us run a platform that serves regulated markets, where compliance constraints including FedRAMP shape design choices. Qualifications

To be successful in this role you have:
- Built and operated Kubernetes platform infrastructure in production before, at meaningful scale-not just consumed it. You can point to specific subsystems you designed, shipped, and then supported through real incidents and upgrade cycles.
- 8+ years building production software, including solid experience operating distributed systems.
- Robust programming skills in Go, with production Kubernetes controller or operator work behind you.
- Hands-on depth with at least one major hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, GCP)-its compute, networking, and IAM primitives, and where they leak into cluster design.
- A track record of owning complex components end to end, from ambiguous problem to production
