Full Job Description
As vCluster Labs’ Sr. Software Engineer (Backend), you aren’t just writing code; you are defining the future of Kubernetes multi-tenancy. In this role, you will serve as a core architect of the vCluster Platform, tasked with navigating complex Kubernetes internals to build tools used by the world's leading engineering teams. As a Sr. Software Engineer (Backend), your role will include: - Kubernetes Deep-Dive: Work intimately with Kubernetes internals to push the boundaries of container orchestration. - Go Development: Write high-performance, resilient Go code to power the core logic of the vCluster platform. - End-to-End Ownership: Take full ownership of your work. You are self-driven and capable of managing feature development from technical design to release without needing constant oversight. - Open Source Innovation: Engage with the community and contribute to our open-source projects. You will help define the next generation of tenancy models, creating scalable solutions for isolation and resource sharing beyond simple namespaces. - Technical Problem Solving: Tackle hard engineering challenges where the solution isn't always on ChatGPT, requiring a deep understanding of systems architecture. This role could be a fit for you if you bring: - Kubernetes Mastery: Deep expertise in Kubernetes internals. We value a profound understanding of how Kubernetes works (architectural patterns, networking, storage). - Technical Proficiency: Strong programming skills in Go. While Kubernetes knowledge is paramount, you must be able to translate that knowledge into clean, efficient Go code. - Builder Mindset: You build things outside of work. You have active GitHub projects, experiments, or open-source contributions that demonstrate your passion for building. - High Agency: You are highly technical and self-driven. You thrive in environments where you are expected to identify problems and solve them autonomously. - Start-Up Grit: Experience working in a high-growth environment.
