Platform Engineer (Kubernetes)

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.

Key responsibilities

• Build and extend core platform features using Go, including custom Kubernetes operators and controllers.
• Design and implement GitOps workflows with ArgoCD to streamline continuous deployment.
• Develop infrastructure‑as‑code patterns using Terraform and Helm to provision and manage clusters.
• Work on distributed storage solutions such as Ceph and WEKA for high‑performance, scalable storage.
• Create observability and monitoring systems with Prometheus and Grafana.
• Build and optimize container networking with Cilium for security and observability.
• Design federated Kubernetes architectures for multi‑cluster management.
• Automate tooling to reduce operational overhead for developers.

Required profile

• 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.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and their managed Kubernetes services.
• Experience with containerization, networking, and cloud‑native architectures.
• Self‑directed, eager to learn, and comfortable operating autonomously.
