Job description

Subject: Junior Go Developer / Golang Developer/ Kubernetes engineer

Hybrid  San Jose, CA 95110,

Duration – 6 Month

Hiring strong software developers with solid Go programming experience and practical Kubernetes knowledge.

Also, just to expand the scope a bit, I’m aiming to hire a developer each in the Cloud team, the Edge team, and a team working on the management plane. So while CAPI/CAPX experience is ideal for the Cloud team, we can also use developers in other areas where the emphasis is more on edge and cloud-native software development.

  • Solid Software Development Background: Proven experience in building enterprise-grade platforms, not just automation or infrastructure.
  • Proficient in Go (Golang): Hands-on, professional experience with Go programming is critical.
  • Practical Kubernetes Experience: Not just theoretical knowledge—candidate should have real-world experience working with Kubernetes in production environments.
  • Cloud-Native Development Experience: Strong understanding of cloud-native architecture and tools, especially for roles on the Cloud and Edge teams.
  • (Bonus/Nice-to-Have) Experience with CAPI/CAPX: Especially relevant for the Cloud team role, but not essential for all teams

Required Skills

  • Go programming: Proven proficiency in production-grade development.
  • Kubernetes: Solid knowledge of fundamentals; hands-on experience with CAPI/CAPX.
  • Cloud platforms: Experience working with at least one major provider – AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Linux/CLI: Strong comfort with Linux environments and command-line tools.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD) are a plus.
  • Experience with microservices architecture and
  • Develop and maintain tools and services in Go to support our Kubernetes-based platform.
  • Contribute to the creation and optimization of cluster management components, especially using Cluster API (CAPI) and provider-specific extensions (e.g., CAPX).
  • Work across major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) to implement scalable and secure deployments.
  • Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues using Linux and CLI tools.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design microservices and APIs as needed.
