Sr Software Engineer (Kubernetes Operators & Controllers, Go)

What you get to do in this role:

• You will design, build, and operate features and services within the cloud-native platform, delivering well-defined work from implementation through to production with limited guidance.
• You will break features down into clear, executable tasks and deliver them iteratively, raising risks and trade-offs as you find them.
• You will collaborate with staff and senior engineers to align your work with the team s designs and the platform s standards.
• You will contribute to the reliability, scalability, and operability of what you build - writing tests and instrumentation, improving runbooks, and participating in on-call.
• You will spend nearly all of your time hands-on building - automation, tooling, and platform services that other teams depend on.
• You will support junior engineers through code review, pairing, and sharing what you learn. Qualifications

To be successful in this role you have:

• Experience leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into engineering work - whether using AI-powered coding and operational tooling, automating workflows, or reasoning about how AI changes the way software and infrastructure are built.
• 3+ years building production software, with exposure to deploying and operating workloads on Kubernetes.
• Some hands-on experience with at least one major hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, GCP) and its core compute and networking primitives.
• A track record of reliably delivering features and improvements as a productive member of an engineering team.
• Working knowledge of containers, CI/CD pipelines, and Git-based development workflows.
• Good programming skills in Go (or another systems language with a willingness to work primarily in Go).

It also helps if you have:

• Experience running workloads on managed Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE).
• Familiarity with GitOps-based delivery and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform.
• Exposure to observability tooling - metrics, logging, and dashboards.
• Familiarity with networking and security fundamentals - DNS, TLS, and IAM.
• Experience participating in an on-call rotation.
