Responsibilities
Help deliver a next-generation, Kubernetes-based internal developer platform
Form a resilient and scalable platform architecture; automate cluster and infrastructure management
Provide new capabilities such as progressive delivery (Canary, Blue/Green), multi-stage deployment pipelines, ephemeral dev/test environments, and declarative application infrastructure management
Reduce friction through self-service application lifecycle workflows and golden-path application infrastructure abstractions
Qualification
Required
10+ years of professional experience: You have a track record of leading large-scale technical initiatives and delivering on outcomes
Kubernetes operations: You have deep experience operating clusters (e.g., EKS), automating their lifecycles, and maintaining production SLOs for cluster services
Self-service platforms: You have designed Kubernetes-based abstractions that have empowered development teams to manage their own services and infrastructure
Cloud infrastructure: You have experience automating cloud infrastructure on providers such as AWS using tools such as Terraform or Crossplane
Technical Breadth: You have experience with multiple backend languages (preferably Python, Go, and/or Typescript), solid foundations in networking concepts, and feel at home in a Linux terminal environment
Impact-oriented: You prioritize outcomes over output and think deeply about the business and user value behind your work. As a staff-level engineer, you understand how to drive impact through influence and leadership as much as through writing code
Self-starting: While you're happy to take direction, you are intrinsically motivated and thrive when given the opportunity to lead initiatives
Adaptable: Your strong opinions are loosely held; you're open to new ideas and avenues of exploration; you are able to roll with the flow when business opportunities arise and priorities shift
Team player: You collaborate well, communicate with empathy, and enjoy mentoring and learning from others
Preferred
You have production experience with FluxCD, ArgoCD, Kargo, AWS Controller for Kubernetes (ACK), and/or Crossplane
You've designed and developed CI/CD pipelines meant to serve multiple teams/applications
You've contributed to open source Kubernetes projects
You were once a product developer before moving into platform development
You use modern AI tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to boost your productivity and focus on higher-leverage problems
