Company

Cloud platform delivering seamless, secure AI compute at scale across multiple data centers.

What you will do

• Design and evolve Kubernetes control plane architecture across regions, including multi-tenant models like vcluster or Kamaji.
• Own platform reliability, on-call rotation, incident response, and lifecycle management of clusters.
• Implement multi-region scaling, cluster topology, and failure domain strategies.
• Design networking architectures, optimize CNI (Cilium), pod-to-pod traffic, and integrate with high-performance networking.
• Enhance observability for control plane, cluster health, and lead root cause analysis.
• Collaborate with DevOps, infrastructure, compute, storage, and networking teams.

Requirements

• 7+ years in infrastructure, platform engineering, or distributed systems
• Deep experience operating Kubernetes at scale in production across multiple clusters and regions
• Strong Kubernetes internals knowledge: API server, scheduler, controller manager, etcd
• Expertise in Linux systems, troubleshooting Kubernetes, container runtime, networking
• Experience with CNI plugins (Cilium preferred), resource isolation, scheduling
• Experience in CSP, hyperscale, or large-scale environments strongly preferred

Nice to have
