This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Kubernetes Deep-Dive: Collaborate closely with Kubernetes internals to expand the capabilities of container orchestration.

• Go Development: Develop high-performance, resilient Go code to drive the core functionality of the vCluster platform.

• End-to-End Ownership: Assume complete responsibility for your projects. You are self-motivated and able to manage feature development from technical design through to release without requiring constant supervision.

• Open Source Innovation: Participate in the community and contribute to our open-source initiatives. You will help shape the next generation of tenancy models, creating scalable solutions for isolation and resource sharing that go beyond basic namespaces.

⛳️ Requirements

• Kubernetes Mastery: Extensive knowledge of Kubernetes internals. We appreciate a comprehensive understanding of how Kubernetes operates, including architectural patterns, networking, and storage.

• Technical Proficiency: Strong programming capabilities in Go. While expertise in Kubernetes is essential, you must also translate that knowledge into clean and efficient Go code.

• Builder Mindset: You engage in building projects outside of your professional work. You have active GitHub repositories, experiments, or contributions to open-source projects that showcase your enthusiasm for creation.

• High Agency: You are technically proficient and self-driven. You excel in environments where you are expected to identify and independently resolve issues.

• Start-Up Grit: Experience in a fast-paced, high-growth setting. You are comfortable dealing with ambiguity and eager to make a significant impact.

• Bonus points for Community Contributions: A record of contributions to the Kubernetes project (Upstream), such as documentation enhancements, Pull Requests (PRs), or active involvement in Special Interest Groups (SIGs).

• Startup Experience: You have worked in an early-stage organization where you operated autonomously and aimed to build something remarkable.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive Salary: We provide a competitive compensation package that includes equity.

• Platinum-Level Insurance: Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance plans, including options for you and eligible dependents (benefits may vary by country).

• Flexible Working Schedule: Have a doctor's appointment or need to run errands at 2 PM? We won't have a problem with that. To us, results are more important than strict clock-in and clock-out times.

• Workplace Flexibility: We offer flexibility regarding your work location. We understand that circumstances can change, and we are happy to adapt your work environment as needed.
