About This Opportunity
We are building a team dedicated to developing a Kubernetes-based platform that manages the lifecycle of AI engines and compute environments in the cloud. This team designs and ships the operators, APIs, and tooling that let our customers spin up secure, governed environments on demand.
You'll work across the full stack of a cloud-native platform from Kubernetes operators and gRPC/REST APIs to the hardened, production-ready features our regulated, security-conscious customers depend on. You'll take projects from research and design through to delivery, owning real architectural decisions rather than just tickets.
We are looking for a person who is passionate about automation and technology, possesses a collaborative mindset, and has a deep curiosity as to how things work ‘under the hood.’ We want those that are both self-directed and able to serve as leaders and mentors for this growing team. You should be a passionate, results-oriented, experienced software developer. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, have a relentless focus on the customer experience and want to build something new rather than just maintain someone else’s code, then this role is for you.
This position is based in Sri Lanka.What You Will Do
- Build & ship: Contribute to the design, development, and deployment of scalable applications using Kubernetes, Go, Python, Protobuf, gRPC, and REST API.
- Think in microservices: Help design and maintain scalable microservices architecture.
- Deploy like a pro: Use Helm to deploy and manage Kubernetes applications.
- Work like a pro: Debug, test, and refine software to ensure high code quality and reliability.
- Learn & grow: Work closely with a seasoned Senior Engineer who will mentor and support you.
What We Are Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
- 5+ years of software development experience (or solid projects if you’re a fast learner!).
- Strong proficiency in Go, plus working knowledge of Python.
- Hands-on experience building and operating on Kubernetes, ideally with operators/controllers (controller-runtime, Kubebuilder, CRDs)
- Proficiency with Protobuf, gRPC, REST APIs, and microservices / distributed systems.
- A security-first mindset, comfort with container hardening, image governance, and network policies.
- A growth mindset – we don’t expect you to know everything, but we expect you to be excited to learn.
How to Stand Out From the Crowd
- Experience with Helm and GitOps-style deployment.
- Familiarity with code-server / openvscode-server (Code-OSS) or self-hosted browser IDEs.
- Exposure to regulated/air-gapped environments (FIPS, FedRAMP) or hardened base images (Chainguard, distroless).
