  • Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration management
  • Participate in on-call rotation for production support
  • Document architecture, procedures, and best practices

  • Stay current with Kubernetes ecosystem developments and emerging technologies

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments
  • Deep understanding of Kubernetes internals and architecture
  • Experience with Cluster API
  • Strong understanding of container technologies
  • Proficiency with infrastructure as code tools (Terraform, Ansible, or similar)
  • Experience with Linux system administration and networking concepts
  • Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and tools
  • Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack)
  • Strong scripting skills (Python or Go)
  • Understanding of security principles and compliance requirements
  • Excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting abilities
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative environment

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD)
  • Experience with OpenStack and cloud infrastructure
  • Contributions to open-source projects
  • Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid cloud environments
  • Familiarity with Ceph storage solutions

What We Offer

  • Remote-first work environment
  • Professional development opportunities and conference attendance
  • Access to cutting-edge technology and infrastructure
  • Collaborative and inclusive team culture
  • Opportunity to work with open-source technologies
  • Be part of the foundation of a growing company
