## About the Role

· 3-4 years of hands-on software engineering experience Engineering, Escalation Engineering, or a comparable production-focused role.

· Heavy hands-on Kubernetes experience - operating, debugging, and modifying Kubernetes and

· Kubernetes-native components (controllers, operators, CAPI, CRDs) in complex production environments.

· Strong development experience is required - you must be comfortable reading, writing, and shipping production code, not only debugging it.

· Proven experience owning high-severity customer escalations end to end, including code-level root cause and fix delivery.

· Experience backporting fixes across multiple supported release branches with strong regression discipline.

· Strong distributed-systems debugging skills across networking, storage, and control-plane behavior.

· Working knowledge of at least one major cloud platform: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.

· Excellent written and verbal communication - able to hold technical authority in front of customers and executives.

Preferred Qualifications

· Go (Golang) development experience - building, debugging, and patching Go microservices and Kubernetes-native components.

· Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA); CKAD or CKS a plus.

· Experience with Cluster API (CAPI), controller-runtime, or writing/maintaining Kubernetes operators.

· Experience with edge, bare-metal, or virtualization platforms (VMware, KubeVirt, Hyper-V).

· Experience delivering CVE remediation and patch releases in a regulated, enterprise SaaS, or federal environment.

· Experience with MongoDB, Terraform, Ansible, or CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).

· Experience using AI-assisted debugging or engineering workflows with strong validation and governance controls.

## Description

· You will debug deep into Kubernetes internals, Go microservices, and distributed systems; deliver patches and hotfixes on supported release branches; and drive systemic fixes that prevent recurrence.
