About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Principal Engineer to lead our Cloud Compute & Storage platform engineering team. As a key technical leader, you will be responsible for driving the architectural vision and technical direction of our Kubernetes infrastructure.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including product management, engineering management, and other key stakeholders, to design, build, and scale our multi-cloud Kubernetes platform. Your role will involve ensuring the platform's reliability, scalability, and security, while also fostering a culture of technical excellence and innovation within the team.

  • Collaborate with product management and engineering management to develop and drive the roadmap for the Kubernetes platform, enabling new business opportunities.

  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to the engineering team, fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous learning.
  • Represent the Kubernetes Platform Team in cross-organizational technical discussions, ensuring alignment with broader engineering goals.
  • Drive the adoption of best practices in cloud-native technologies and Kubernetes, promoting a culture of operational excellence.
Requirements
  • Over 12 years of experience in delivering scalable software solutions.
  • Proven track record of leading the delivery of large-scale, highly available, low latency, high-quality systems.
  • Deep hands-on technical expertise in large-scale systems engineering or distributed systems.
  • Extensive experience with best-of-breed open-source container-related infrastructure technologies such as Terraform, Prometheus, Linux, Kubernetes, Gatekeeper, Cilium, SPIRE, and Falco.
  • Experience with Kubernetes operator patterns - ideally for orchestrating infrastructure (such as Crossplane, Rancher or AWS ACK).
  • Demonstrated, hands-on capability with cloud back-end software engineering technologies, ideally Golang.
  • Proven ability to drive operational excellence for large, production services.
  • Experience managing large-scale environments (10,000s of VMs) in private or multiple public clouds.
  • Strong track record of providing technical leadership and mentorship.
  • Proven ability to work collaboratively across various functions, teams, and roles.
  • Experience working remotely across multiple time zones and engineering cultures is a bonus.
