What You'll Do
- Operate and evolve our Kubernetes platform across multiple clusters and environments (Prod, Dev, hybrid on-prem and public cloud), covering control plane operations, node lifecycle, upgrades, and autoscaling at every layer (Cluster Autoscaler, HPA, KEDA).
- Architect and manage hybrid cloud infrastructure spanning on-premises and public clouds (GCP, AWS), including workload placement, cross-cloud networking, and unified resource management.
- Own the CI/CD and GitOps experience end-to-end: container build pipelines, image optimization, and progressive delivery via ArgoCD / FluxCD.
- Own the observability stack as a single pane of glass across all clusters: Grafana, Mimir, Tempo, Loki, Pyroscope, OnCall, Prometheus -- and help push toward agent-assisted SRE workflows.
- Manage and improve our inference platform: vLLM serving and AIBrix for multi-model orchestration and autoscaling across a fleet of NVIDIA GPUs.
- Operate platform services: Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch.
- Manage identity and access via Keycloak integrated with Google Workspace; harden SSO, RBAC, and secrets management across the platform.
- Harden network security across private load balancers, firewalls, and VPC segmentation; design and maintain hub-and-spoke / multi-AZ topologies.
- Support training infrastructure: self-service VM provisioning, RunPod burst capacity, Weights and Biases integration.
- Drive infrastructure reliability, cost efficiency, and capacity planning as the platform scales.
What We're Looking For
- Kubernetes -- deep, hands-on. Strong production experience with Kubernetes, fluent in workloads and controllers, networking (Services, Ingress, CNI basics), storage (PV/PVC, CSI), RBAC, and the autoscaling story end-to-end (HPA, VPA, Cluster Autoscaler, KEDA). Cloud-managed Kubernetes (GKE, EKS, AKS) is fine; on-premises / self-managed Kubernetes (kubeadm, Cluster API, k3s, etc.) is a strong plus.
- Networking -- design-level, not just operator-level. You have designed real network topologies at some point in your career -- hub-and-spoke, multi-AZ / multi-VPC, or an equivalent enterprise pattern -- and can defend the tradeoffs. Comfortable with VPCs, firewalls, load balancers, private cluster architecture, DNS, and routing. On-premises networking experience (VLANs, BGP, L2/L3 fabrics, pfSense / Fortinet / Palo Alto / Cisco) is a strong plus.
- CI/CD and Docker -- concepts over tooling. You can build and optimize Dockerfiles (multi-stage builds, layer caching, small/secure base images) and have owned full CI/CD pipelines end-to-end. Tooling is flexible -- GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure Pipelines, Jenkins, Argo Workflows, etc. -- but you should be able to clearly articulate the full lifecycle of a typical pipeline, and explain how CI/CD changes when the deployment target is Kubernetes (ArgoCD / FluxCD, GitOps patterns, progressive delivery).
- Observability -- you have built this before. You have stood up a full observability stack from scratch and operated it in production -- metrics, logs, traces, alerting, on-call. Familiarity with the Grafana stack (Grafana, Mimir, Tempo, Loki, Pyroscope, OnCall, Prometheus) is a strong plus. Bonus points if you have experimented with agent-assisted SRE workflows or LLM-driven incident triage.
- SSO and identity. When you bring a new tool into the platform, your instinct is to wire it into a central IdP rather than leave it on local accounts. Comfortable with OpenID Connect, SAML, and traditional directory services (LDAP / Active Directory), and you have integrated tools with an IdP like Keycloak, Okta, Azure AD, or equivalent.
- Linux and automation fundamentals. Strong Linux proficiency (RHEL/Ubuntu or equivalent) including basic performance and networking debugging. Comfort with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform / Terragrunt / Pulumi or equivalent) and configuration management.
- Ownership mindset. Comfortable operating in a high-ownership environment where you make architecture decisions, push them to production, and own the outcomes.
- Optional but valuable: hands-on experience operating any of Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch -- at production scale, including HA, backup/restore, and upgrade planning.
Bonus points for:
- Experience with OpenStack in production: Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Trove, Horizon, and CLI administration.
- Experience with KVM virtualization and storage backends like Ceph or Rook-Ceph on Kubernetes.
- Familiarity with vLLM internals: PagedAttention, continuous batching, tensor parallelism.
- Background in AI/ML infrastructure or GPU cluster operations at scale.
- Experience with KEDA or event-driven autoscaling patterns in anger.
- Prior open-source contributions to Kubernetes, OpenStack, or adjacent projects.
- Kernel-level Linux debugging and performance tuning.
