Platform Engineer

The Basics

We are looking for a Platform Engineer (m/f/d). You will be a key member of a tight-knit group of talented Engineers who are responsible for building and developing our platform, using cutting-edge technologies including Kubernetes Operators and Cluster API.

Giant Swarm is a fast-growing open-source infrastructure management platform used by modern enterprises. Our vision is to empower developers around the world to ship great products.

Your Job

• You will be responsible for architecting and building distributed systems, as part of our managed Kubernetes offering.
• You will use a wide variety of open source technologies and tools from across the open-source community, including Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Flatcar Linux.
• You take part in on call, as part of our ‘you build it, you run it’ philosophy. This includes improving operations, such as by adding metrics, or building dashboards.

Requirements

• You have experience with Go and at least one other programming language, and a strong architectural background.
• You have worked extensively with Kubernetes.
• You are an experienced Linux user.
• You are used to deploying to production multiple times a day, and love to automate all the things.
• You are comfortable building and working with distributed systems – you prefer to build your applications as multiple services instead of a single monolith.
• We – and our customers – are currently distributed (mostly) around Europe. Your main timezone should be UTC +/- 2.
• We are very active in the Cloud Native / Kubernetes space. If you are as well – or just love giving talks – that will be a perfect addition.
