• Provision infrastructure using a mixture of Terraform and internal tooling and deploy your changes using Helm
• Thrive working iteratively in a fast-paced Scrum environment where you'll use our product and be very much DevOps driven
• You'll be expected to not only ship code but also operate and support it before and after release - that includes having a deep understanding of what your code will run on

What You Will Bring

• Strong software design and implementation skills in building infrastructure frameworks
• Deep expertise in building distributed systems
• Experience with one or more of these programming languages - Go, C++, Java, or Python
• Experience in a full project lifecycle starting from zero lines of code to operating, observing and supporting a product as part of an on-call rota
• Solid understanding of Kubernetes and Docker

What Gives You an Edge

• Experience in building control planes (virtualization, software-defined networking/storage)
• Experience building APIs - both RESTful and gRPC-based
• Familiarity with infra such as networking, storage, and security in data centres
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes operators, Helm, or StatefulSets
• Open source contributions to Kubernetes sigs or adjacent projects
