The Position

As a Member of Technical Staff III (MTS III) on Panasonic's Platform as a Service (PaaS) team, you will design, develop, test, and operate platform software and infrastructure that enables applications and services to run reliably on Kubernetes-based edge platforms. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys working across software development, cloud-native infrastructure, Kubernetes, networking, security, automation, and distributed systems.

You will work with engineers and architects across multiple platform teams to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable capabilities from cloud-based development environments to resource-constrained edge environments.

Design, develop, test, and maintain platform services and infrastructure primarily using Go. Build reliable, scalable, and maintainable backend services, controllers, APIs, automation, and platform components. Develop and operate Kubernetes-based platform capabilities, including workload deployment, lifecycle management, configuration, networking, security policies, storage, and observability. Build solutions that operate in edge and disconnected/air-gapped environments, where connectivity, compute resources, storage, and bandwidth may be constrained.

Develop and maintain Git Ops-based application deployment and lifecycle management workflows using technologies such as Argo CD, Helm, Kubernetes, and Git Lab. Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Git Lab CI/CD, containerized build environments, automated testing, security scanning, and release automation. Develop and integrate platform services with AWS services and cloud infrastructure where appropriate. Design and implement RESTful APIs and event-driven services used by distributed platform components.

Troubleshoot complex issues across application, Kubernetes, Linux, container runtime, networking, storage, and infrastructure layers. Implement platform observability using metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerting to improve operational visibility and troubleshooting. Contribute to platform security through Kubernetes security controls, admission policies, secrets management, container security, and secure software development practices. Participate in architecture and design discussions, technical reviews, proof-of-concepts, and implementation planning.

Work closely with engineers across Platform, Infrastructure, Dev Ops, Security, and Application teams to identify dependencies and deliver integrated solutions. Participate in code reviews and promote engineering practices that improve code quality, testability, reliability, and maintainability. Develop automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests and contribute to platform stabilization and performance optimization. Participate in Agile/SAFe activities including PI planning, iteration planning, backlog refinement, retrospectives, technical demonstrations, and story decomposition.

Create and maintain architecture documentation, operational procedures, troubleshooting guides, and other technical documentation. Evaluate emerging technologies and propose solutions that improve platform reliability, security, scalability, developer experience, and operational efficiency.

The wage range of $107,100 - $192,000 is just one component of Panasonic's total package. Actual compensation varies depending on the individual's knowledge, skills, experience, and location. This role may be eligible for discretionary bonuses and incentives.
