Requirements

  • 4+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating resilient backend services at scale using Kubernetes.
  • Experience with CAPI, EKS and managing zero-downtime Kubernetes cluster upgrades, including node draining, API deprecations, and PodDisruptionBudgets.
  • Practical experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code) to accelerate code generation, automate testing, and streamline debugging workflows or strong desire to learn.
  • Hands-on Experience implementing GitOps workflows with ArgoCD and automated pipeline orchestration with Harness (or an equivalent enterprise CI/CD platform).
  • Strong, hands-on experience with Shell, Terraform, Yaml and Go (Golang).
  • Solid experience deploying and managing production workloads in cloud environments, ideally with deep exposure to AWS core services (EKS, EC2, S3) or Azure equivalents (AKS, Virtual Machines, Blob Storage).
  • Understanding of container networking (VPC/VNet, pod IPAM, CNI plugins).
  • Proficiency with Terraform for provision-level automation and maintaining environment parity.
  • Strong theoretical and practical understanding of distributed datastores, caching layers, and asynchronous event streaming (e.g., Kafka or similar queuing ecosystems).
  • Strong foundational background in computer science fundamentals, data structures, and building self-healing cloud architectures.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate services and automations to manage kubernetes clusters at scale.
  • Partner closely with product management and technical leadership to break down complex system requirements into manageable, iterative milestones.
  • Drive rigorous code reviews and push for maintainable patterns in our codebase, ensuring high testing standards (unit, integration, and component testing).
  • Manage and enhance cloud configurations across AWS and Azure environments utilizing Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
  • Ensure deep observability coverage by standardizing metrics, alerts, and distributed tracing across core data pipelines.
  • Advocate for a clean architectural foundation, proactively identify technical debt, system bottlenecks, and single points of failure.
  • Mentor junior engineers, lead technical sprint planning, and share expertise across distributed engineering nodes.
