  • Building and running Kubernetes clusters on top of or alongside OpenStack, including networking and storage integrations.
  • Automating everything possible using IaC and configuration management.
  • Debugging hard problems across compute, storage, networking, and orchestration layers.
  • Improving reliability, observability, capacity planning, and operational readiness of platforms in production.
  • Working closely with customers, architects, and internal teams to translate requirements into working systems.
  • Raising the bar on security, access control, and compliance-aligned deployments.
This is a delivery-first role. you'll design, implement, operate, and improve often in that order.

How we work
  • We value engineers who understand systems deeply and take ownership.
  • We prefer automation over heroics and clarity over complexity.

Who will do we'll here
  • You like working close to the metal and don t shy away from ambiguity.
