We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer that will join the team in our Platform mission that enables our engineers to effectively utilize cloud infrastructure by providing a platform for infrastructure composition. Our declarative infrastructure is built on top of Kubernetes and we work closely with Google to make sure our platform scales with the growing number of managed resources at us.

What you’ll do:
As a team, we build a platform that enables infrastructure as code at us, with the entire engineering organization as our users.
The tech stack you’ll work on includes Kubernetes operators (typically in Golang); supporting backend services (in Java); utilities and scripts (in Python and Bash); analytics data pipelines (in Python and SQL); and a lot of declaratively managed infrastructure of our own (in YAML).
Collaborate closely with our sister platform squads and become a valued member of an autonomous, cross-functional team.
We want you to bring your whole self to work and strive to foster an environment that supports your individual growth.

Who you are:
A valued team player in an autonomous, cross-functional team that inspires others experienced in designing, analyzing, optimizing code, and troubleshooting large-scale distributed systems.
Experienced with Kubernetes, GKE, and Google Cloud Platform.
Knowledgeable in how to write distributed, high-performance services and experienced in deploying and operating services on Linux.
Passionate about infrastructure as code
Can use scripting languages where needed to glue pieces together
Have experience with Java and/or Go
Equipped with a systematic problem-solving approach coupled with effective communication skills and drive.
Excited about working on a team where you constantly learn, experiment, and iterate quickly.

Extra:
*Engineers with a solid engineering background (MSc. in engineering of related)

*Engineers with experience extending k8s, writing their own or maintaining k8s operators and CRDs

*Experience within platform organisations is a plus

*Experience with GCP is a plus
