YOUR ROLE

We are looking for a highly skilled Cloud-Native Software Engineer to join the Unified Cloud Platform (UCP) program, its next-generation sovereign cloud initiative.

You will work across several Product Units, including Bare Metal, Provisioning, IAM, Storage, and Networking, contributing to the development and operation of critical cloud services. This is a hands-on technical position for professionals who thrive in DevOps-driven environments and enjoy working at the intersection of software engineering and platform operations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop cloud-native solutions in Go, including Kubernetes operators, controllers, APIs, CRDs, and automation tools.
  • Build and operate large-scale Kubernetes platforms, ensuring security, scalability, reliability, and operational excellence.
  • Implement Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/OpenTofu) and GitOps practice using tools such as Helm, ArgoCD, and Flux.
  • Develop and automate S3-compatible object storage services, including bucket management, IAM policies, lifecycle management, and multi-site replication.
  • Drive production reliability through SRE best practices, including observability, monitoring, alerting, incident management, and SLO management.
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity, testing, and documentation.
  • Participate in code reviews, mentoring, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement initiatives within the squad.

YOUR PROFILE

  • Strong experience with Go development, ideally including Kubebuilder and controller-runtime.
  • Deep expertise in Kubernetes administration and operations.
  • Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, and CI/CD practices.
  • Strong understanding of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) concepts, including observability, monitoring, incident management, and SLOs.
  • Experience with S3-compatible object storage solutions such as MinIO, Ceph, SeaweedFS, Garage, or similar.
  • Knowledge of distributed storage concepts including replication, erasure coding, consistency, and sharding.
  • Experience with security, encryption, and key management solutions (KMS).
  • Understanding of Kubernetes networking (CNI) and bare-metal infrastructure environments.
  • Strong communication skills, autonomy, adaptability, and a collaborative mindset.

NICE TO HAVE

  • Experience in sovereign cloud environments.
  • Exposure to compliance frameworks such as NIS2 or SecNumCloud.
  • Background working across multiple cloud platform domains (IAM, Networking, Storage, Bare Metal).

  • Join a multicultural and inclusive team environment.
  • Enjoy a supportive atmosphere promoting work life balance.
  • Hybrid work.
  • Your career growth is central to our mission. Our array of career growth programs and diverse professionals are crafted to support you in exploring a world of opportunities.
