The role

You will design, build, and operate multi-cluster Kubernetes infrastructure and multi-tenant platform primitives. You will also act as a solutions architect for internal platform customers and manage production incidents end-to-end.

What you will do

• Design, build, and operate multi-cluster Kubernetes infrastructure
• Build multi-tenant platform primitives including storage, secrets, RBAC, and workload identity
• Design and orchestrate secure, sandboxed execution environments
• Act as a solutions architect for internal platform customers
• Improve developer effectiveness by building tooling
• Debug and profile edge cases in distributed systems
• Own production end-to-end including incident command and postmortems

Nice to have

• Experience with serverless or scale-to-zero container platforms such as Knative, Cloud Run, or KEDA-based systems
• Depth in sandboxing and workload isolation: Linux namespaces, cgroups, seccomp, gVisor, Firecracker/Kata, or comparable multi-tenant isolation designs
• Depth in cluster and cloud networking: CNI (e.g., Cilium), eBPF, NetworkPolicy, service mesh, cross-cloud private connectivity
• Deep multi-cluster or multi-region Kubernetes experience running diverse workloads at scale
• Platform security experience: admission control, least-privilege IAM, workload identity (OIDC/SPIFFE), image provenance and supply-chain hardening
