Job Description:

We are hiring Kubernetes Production Engineers to provide production support and operations for our Kubernetes platform (IKS). You will own the release and rollout of Kubernetes and its add-ons, keeping a business-critical platform reliable at scale.

This role blends deep Kubernetes engineering with hands-on production ownership ideal for engineers who enjoy debugging hard problems and improving the systems that prevent them.

Key Responsibilities:

- Manage the release and rollout of Kubernetes versions and associated add-ons across environments.

- Provide production support and operations for the Kubernetes platform.

- Debug and resolve complex cluster, workload, networking, and add-on issues.

- Automate operational workflows and strengthen platform tooling.

- Contribute to runbooks, incident reviews, and reliability improvements.

- Collaborate with global engineering teams on escalations and platform initiatives.

Tech Stack:

- Go (Golang) and Python

- Kubernetes development, SRE, and debugging at depth

- Cloud-native ecosystem: containers, operators, add-ons, observability tooling

- Java (preferred)

Required Skills & Experience:

- 5-10 years of professional software or infrastructure engineering experience.

- Proven, verifiable results operating large-scale production platforms e.g., measurable reliability improvements, reduced incident rates, or successful platform version rollouts.

- Strong programming skills in Go and/or Python.

- Strong expertise in Kubernetes development, SRE practices, and debugging.

- Experience with managed Kubernetes services at scale.

- Experience operating production infrastructure, including on-call participation.

- Experience building and/or leveraging AI agents (e.g., agentic workflows, LLM-based automation, AI-assisted engineering tools) to improve productivity and outcomes.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Working knowledge of Java.

What We Look For:

- Strong sense of ownership - takes end-to-end responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks.

- Self-motivated and proactive; able to operate independently with minimal supervision.

- A good team player who collaborates effectively across teams, geographies, and time zones.

- Proven track record of delivering measurable results in previous roles.
