Job Description
About the Role:
We are seeking an exceptional Kubernetes Architect to lead the design, development, and deployment of our next-generation infrastructure platform. This is a very senior-level role for someone who not only understands Kubernetes deeply but can write complex manifests, operators, and controllers from scratch
, and architect resilient, secure, and performant systems that scale to millions of users
.
As a technical visionary and hands-on expert, you will lead the evolution of our cloud-native architecture, including designing serverless systems on Kubernetes, integrating with CI/CD, and ensuring observability, security, and cost-efficiency across environments.
Responsibilities:
- Architect and implement end-to-end Kubernetes infrastructure for large-scale, cloud-native applications.
- Design and build serverless platforms on top of Kubernetes using technologies such as Knative, OpenFaaS, or KEDA.
- Develop and maintain Kubernetes custom resources (CRDs), controllers, operators, and admission controllers in Go or Python.
- Define multi-tenant, multi-region architecture supporting millions of users with high availability and low latency.
- Lead Kubernetes cluster lifecycle management (provisioning, upgrades, scaling, monitoring, troubleshooting).
- Collaborate closely with engineering teams to containerize applications
, write Helm charts or Kustomize overlays, and standardize deployment practices. - Implement infrastructure as code using tools like Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane.
- Lead efforts around observability, policy enforcement, cost optimization, and RBAC/security hardening within the cluster.
- Evaluate and integrate Kubernetes ecosystem tools (e.g., Istio/Linkerd, ArgoCD, Flux, Prometheus, Grafana, OPA, etc.).
- Mentor and upskill Dev Ops engineers and SREs in Kubernetes best practices.
Qualifications:
- 8+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, Dev Ops, or platform engineering roles.
- 4+ years of hands-on Kubernetes experience
, including deep knowledge of the Kubernetes API, internals, networking, and storage. - Proficiency in writing Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and custom Kubernetes controllers/operators (preferably in Go).
- Proven experience designing cloud-native systems that scale globally (multi-region, multi-cloud or hybrid setups).
- Experience with serverless technologies (Knative, OpenFaaS, AWS Lambda, etc.) in a production environment.
- Strong knowledge of cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- Experience with Git Ops tools (ArgoCD, Flux), service meshes, policy engines (OPA/Gatekeeper), and CI/CD pipelines.
- Deep understanding of security, compliance, and resilience in containerized workloads.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Contributions to Kubernetes open-source projects or CNCF-related tooling.
- Experience with service mesh design (Istio, Linkerd).
- Familiarity with eBPF, Cilium, or network-level observability.
- Background in building PaaS or developer platforms on top of Kubernetes.
