Job description

About the Role
Join an early-stage cloud-native startup building a next-generation platform that abstracts Kubernetes complexity while preserving its full power. As a Platform Engineer, you'll work closely with the founding team to design core platform features, GitOps workflows, and the infrastructure layer that makes multi-cluster management intuitive for developers. This is a high-impact, early-team opportunity where your contributions will directly shape the product and architecture.
What You'll Do
  • Build and extend core platform features using Go, including custom Kubernetes operators and controllers.
  • Design and implement GitOps workflows with ArgoCD to streamline and automate continuous deployment.
  • Develop infrastructure-as-code patterns using Terraform and Helm to provision and manage clusters.
  • Work on distributed storage solutions using Ceph and WEKA for high-performance, scalable storage.
  • Create observability and monitoring systems with Prometheus and Grafana to surface cluster health and performance metrics.
  • Build and optimize container networking with Cilium for network security and observability.
  • Design and implement federated Kubernetes architectures for multi-cluster management.
  • Build automation tooling to reduce operational overhead for developers running production workloads.
  • Contribute to open-source components and help establish platform architecture patterns as an early team member.
What We're Looking For
Required:
  • 2+ years of software development experience.
  • Proficiency in Go and Kubernetes, with hands-on experience building developer tools or infrastructure products.
  • Experience with ArgoCD and CI/CD pipelines and automation workflows.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and their managed Kubernetes offerings.
  • Experience with containerization, networking, and cloud-native architectures.
  • Self-directed, hungry to learn, and comfortable operating with autonomy.

Nice to Have:
  • Experience with distributed storage solutions such as Ceph or WEKA.
  • Experience with Terraform, Helm, Ansible, or Kubespray for infrastructure provisioning and orchestration.
  • Background with service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd) or CNI plugins.
  • Contributions to Kubernetes ecosystem tools or open-source projects.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Salary: $150,000 - $200,000 USD annually
  • Visa sponsorship available
Location
This is an on-site role based in San Francisco, CA. Candidates must be willing and able to work in person in San Francisco.
