This position requires a strong background in Kubernetes internals and Golang programming, particularly in developing and managing Kubernetes controllers. If you’re a proactive problem solver with experience in building cloud-native infrastructure, this is your opportunity to contribute to a transformative platform.
We highly encourage candidates with a solid programming foundation and a hunger to explore the cloud-native world to apply. Comprehensive onboarding and professional development support will be provided.
Key Responsibilities (Not limited to):
- Collaborate in Agile teams, taking ownership of development stories with minimal supervision.
- Partner with internal teams and clients to accurately capture technical requirements.
- Design, build, deploy, and maintain Kubernetes controllers and operators using Golang.
- Identify gaps in current systems and propose or implement technical improvements.
- Apply best practices across the full software development lifecycle.
- Create and execute unit, regression, and E2E tests for operator reliability.
- Work in Linux environments and troubleshoot issues in containerized applications.
- Contribute to CI/CD workflows for seamless testing and deployment.
Essential Skillset:
- Kubernetes Controller Development: Proven expertise in building and maintaining controllers and operators.
- Proficiency in Golang: 2+ years writing idiomatic, well-tested Go code for Kubernetes projects.
- Deep understanding of Kubernetes APIs and libraries including
client-go, CRDs, and API extensions. - Hands-on experience with:
- Kubebuilder – For scaffolding controllers and CRDs
