Cloud-Native / Service Mesh Platform Engineer

• We're partnering with a fast-growing, cloud-native technology organization building next-generation enterprise service mesh platforms and we are looking for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of cloud-native architecture, networking, and large-scale distributed systems (This is more than a Kubernetes admin role - it's hands-on platform product engineering).
• If you're passionate about distributed systems, Kubernetes internals, and high-scale networking architecture - this could be your next big move.

Responsibilities:

• Design and build modern service mesh platforms.
• Work across management plane and data plane architectures.
• Architect secure, highly-available distributed systems.
• Build and scale multi-cluster, multi-cloud environments.
• Contribute to or engage with the Istio / Envoy open-source ecosystem.
• Building and enhancing enterprise-grade service mesh capabilities.
• Developing features across control plane & data plane.
• Improving security, observability, and networking performance.
• Supporting complex enterprise Kubernetes deployments.
• Collaborating with customers and engineering teams on advanced technical challenges.

• Deep expertise in Kubernetes.
• Strong programming background (Go preferred; C++ or systems-level exposure a plus).
• Strong experience with Istio, Envoy, and service mesh internals.
• Networking expertise (TCP/IP, mTLS, service-to-service communication).
• Experience across cloud environments (AWS / GCP / Azure).

Experience (Desired):

• Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts (consistency, reliability, scalability).

Education:

• Bachelor's or degree in or a related field or equivalent work experience.
