You have designed modules others depend on, managed state at scale, and led non-trivial migrations without downtime. * Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins and GitHub Actions (or comparable systems), including build performance, artifact management, and safe deployment patterns. * Strong Kubernetes expertise. You have operated production clusters at scale, understand the control plane and networking model in depth, and have designed workload, upgrade, and multi-tenant strategies that others rely on. * Hands-on experience with a service mesh in production, ideally Istio. You are comfortable with envoy-based traffic management, mTLS, authorization policy, and mesh observability, and you can debug problems that cross the mesh boundary. * Fluency in Linux and containers, and in at least one scripting or systems language (Python, Go, Bash, or similar). * A production mindset: you think about failure modes, blast radius, cost, and observability from the start, and you have carried a pager for infrastructure you built. * Strong communication, debugging, and problem-solving skills, and a track record of driving major initiatives end to end across teams. * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Engineering, or equivalent practical experience., * Experience connecting cloud services to physical devices or edge hardware in the field. * Familiarity with Bazel or another polyglot monorepo build system. * Experience with security and compliance controls (SOC 2, ISO 27001) as they apply to cloud infrastructure. * Experience running or contributing to a platform team that other engineers depend on as internal customers. ## Description * Operate & Extend Multi-Cloud Infrastructure: Be a core owner of our AWS and GCP environments that host our Tier-0 services, keeping them resilient, cost-efficient, and secure while extending them to support the next generation of Carbon products. * Build the Network Between Cloud and Printer: Design and maintain the networking that connects our cloud services to a global fleet of printers, including VPCs, peering, DNS, load balancing, TLS, and secure edge connectivity. You will make sure a printer in a customer's factory can reach the cloud reliably, no matter where it is. * Run Services on Kubernetes with Istio: Be a core owner of the Kubernetes clusters and Istio service mesh that our platform runs on. You will drive substantial improvements to cluster architecture, workload isolation, traffic management, mTLS, and observability, and help application teams run their services on the platform safely and confidently. * Own Infrastructure as Code in Terraform: Take end-to-end ownership of substantial Terraform initiatives, from module design through rollout. You will help shape our IaC standards, keep our state and module ecosystem healthy, and make it easy for other engineers to ship infrastructure safely. * Ship Software Faster and Safer with CI/CD: Lead major improvements to our Jenkins and GitHub Actions pipelines: faster builds, safer deploys, better feedback loops, and clear paths from a merged PR to production. You will help define what "good" looks like for delivery at Carbon. * Own Reliability Alongside the Product Teams: Participate in on-call for the platform, drive incident response and postmortems on the initiatives you own, and turn recurring pain into permanent fixes. You will help other teams adopt strong operational practices for the services they own. * Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Work as a senior technical contributor across infrastructure, security, and application teams. You will translate real product and operational needs into robust designs, raise the bar through design and code review, and mentor engineers around you. ## Related Videos - [Flex your Energy: Building a Cloud-Native Platform for Renewable Energy Communities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1990-flex-your-energy-building-a-cloud-native-platform-for-renewable-energy-communities) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
