Job Requirements
- 4 years of professional software engineering experience, with at least one major language (Go preferred; Python, Rust, and others welcome)
- Hands-on Kubernetes experience: deploying, operating, and debugging workloads in production environments, including familiarity with Helm and the Kubernetes resource model
- Experience building or maintaining tooling for external users or customers - you've thought carefully about API/UX design, backward compatibility, and upgrade paths
- Comfortable writing and maintaining automated tests at multiple levels - unit, integration, and end-to-end
- You're a strong communicator, clear in code review, helpful in customer-facing issues, and comfortable working async across time zones
- You believe that great tooling is a force multiplier and you take pride in boosting the experience of the person on the other end of the tooling you build and maintain
- You love writing tests and treat them as a core part of the design process, not an afterthought
- You're comfortable going deep on a platform problem, whether that's a Kubernetes scheduling edge case, a Windows path separator bug, or a Terraform provider quirk
- You engage with the open source community and care about the health of the projects you depend on
