Senior Software Engineer - Cloud Platform Developer Relations; Remote

Position

Purpose:

Our team serves as the primary technical interface between the Tiny Homes Platform and its customers, using deep knowledge of the GKE platform, Vantage networking, and the mesh/control-plane internals to diagnose and resolve deployment blockers for containerized workloads. We convert recurring friction points into reusable technologies, tooling, docs, video content, and self-service processes that scale platform adoption beyond one-on-one support. In this role as a Senior Software Engineer, you will Maintain working fluency across the full Tiny Homes technology stack — GKE, Docker, Envoy/Wayfinder mesh, Vantage, Tailscale, Flux CD, and CI/CD tooling, engage directly with customers to triage and resolve deployment blockers, and turn patterns from those engagements into documentation, tooling, or process fixes rather than one-off fixes, keep platform knowledge current as Tiny Homes evolves (new component versions, API changes, deprecations) and correct stale assumptions in customer-facing guidance before they propagate.
