Job description

  • Fully remote opportunity
  • Must be eligible for a federal security clearance (U.S. Citizenship is required)

Kubernetes Platform Software Engineer
As a Platform Software Engineer, you will design, implement, and maintain the custom Kubernetes operators underpinning the on-premises Kubernetes clusters, with a strong focus on scalability, reliability, and maintainability. You will assist with Kubernetes infrastructure automation via the creation of tooling and processes. You will advise on the technical direction and implementation of the internal team's software engineering initiatives, evaluate and integrate key technologies, and provide mentorship to the junior engineers for software development.
Key Responsibilities
  • Custom Kubernetes operator development
  • Design, implement, maintain, modify, and test custom Kubernetes operators written in Go and/or Ansible
  • Enhance existing software development processes, practices, and standards. Test environments to evaluate tooling based on performance, feature set, and maintainability—especially for components that must work reliably with on-premise hardware and OS requirements.
  • Support the use and understanding of in-house Kubernetes operators and serve as a maintainer for those controllers.
  • Architecture & Infrastructure as Code and Tooling
  • Develop and implement an Architecture as Code process for the Slate platform
  • Write and maintain infrastructure and deployment code using tools such as ArgoCD (GitOps), Puppet (OS management), Go, Python, Bash, Ansible, Terraform, and GitLab CI.
  • Engage with development teams to understand platform needs and tailor the cluster experience to meet evolving requirements.
  • Technical Leadership for Software Engineering
  • Provide software development, guidance, code reviews, and pair programming support to a team of 11 engineers.
  • Contribute to onboarding, team documentation, and process improvement initiatives.
  • Act as a go-to technical expert for all Kubernetes custom operator questions across the engineering organization.
Collaboration
  • Partner closely with internal cybersecurity and development teams to ensure the platform's custom operators meet security, compliance, and usability expectations.
  • Participate in cross-functional projects related to platform enhancements, cluster lifecycle automation, and infrastructure provisioning.
Key Technologies & Tools
  • Languages: Go, Python, Bash
  • CI/CD: GitLab CI, ArgoCD
  • IaC/Config Management: Puppet, Helm, Ansible
  • Kubernetes & Ecosystem: On-prem K8s, Custom Operators, Service Mesh, k8s architecture
  • Operating Systems: Linux-based OS management at the hardware level, strong Linux sysadmin skills
What Sets This Role Apart
  • Deep involvement in designing on-prem Kubernetes infrastructure, with full ownership from OS/hardware layer up to service-level automation.
  • A platform-first approach to engineering that balances security, developer experience, and operational scalability.
  • Strong mentorship and team enablement focus—guiding engineers while staying hands-on with architecture and implementation.
