We are looking for a Platform Engineer

to join our expanding product development team, and play an integral role in the development of our world-leading managed Kubernetes offering. You will build and develop the platform, using cutting-edge technologies including Kubernetes Operators and Cluster API.

YOUR JOB

• You will be responsible for architecting and building distributed systems, as part of our managed Kubernetes offering.
• You will use a wide variety of open source technologies and tools from across the open-source community, including Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Flatcar Linux.
• You take part in oncall, as part of our ‘you build it, you run it’philosophy. This includes improving operations, such as by adding metrics, or building dashboards.

REQUIREMENTS

• You have experience with Go and at least one other programming language, and a strong architectural background.
• You have worked extensively with Kubernetes.
• You are an experienced Linux user.
• You are used to deploying to production multiple times a day, and love to automate all the things.
• You are comfortable building and working with distributed systems - you prefer to build your applications as multiple services instead of a single monolith.
• We - and our customers - are currently distributed (mostly) around Europe. Your main timezone should be UTC +/- 2.
• We are very active in the Cloud Native / Kubernetes space. If you are as well - or just love giving talks - that will be a perfect addition.
