Job Description
Senior Software Engineer – Backend
vCluster
• Kubernetes Deep-Dive: Work intimately with Kubernetes internals to push the boundaries of container orchestration. • Go Development: Write high-performance, resilient Go code to power the core logic of the vCluster platform. • End-to-End Ownership: Take full ownership of your work. You are self-driven and capable of managing feature development from technical design to release without needing constant oversight. • Open Source Innovation: Engage with the community and contribute to our open-source projects. You will help define the next generation of tenancy models, creating scalable solutions for isolation and resource sharing beyond simple namespaces. • Technical Problem Solving: Tackle hard engineering challenges where the solution isn't always on ChatGPT, requiring a deep understanding of systems architecture.
Job Requirements
- Kubernetes Mastery: Deep expertise in Kubernetes internals. We value a profound understanding of how Kubernetes works (architectural patterns, networking, storage).
- Technical Proficiency: Strong programming skills in Go. While Kubernetes knowledge is paramount, you must be able to translate that knowledge into clean, efficient Go code.
- Builder Mindset: You build things outside of work. You have active GitHub projects, experiments, or open-source contributions that demonstrate your passion for building.
- High Agency: You are highly technical and self-driven. You thrive in environments where you are expected to identify problems and solve them autonomously.
- Start-Up Grit: Experience working in a high-growth environment. You are comfortable with ambiguity and eager to make an impact.
- Bonus points for Community Contributions: A history of contributions to the Kubernetes project (Upstream), including documentation updates, Pull Requests (PRs), or active participation in Special Interest Groups (SIGs).
- Startup Experience: You have been at an early-stage organization where you function autonomously and strive towards building something great.
Benefits
- Competitive Salary: We offer a competitive compensation package, including equity.
- Platinum-Level Insurance: Health, dental, vision, and life Insurance, including plans for you and eligible dependents (benefits vary depending on country).
- Flexible Working Schedule: You have a doctor’s appointment or need to head to the supermarket to get groceries at 2pm? We won’t have an issue with that. To us, results matter more than clocking in and out at the same time every day.
- Workplace Flexibility: We’re very flexible about where you work. We know things can change in life and we’re happy to adjust the work environment for you along the way.
