About the job you're considering

We are seeking a Kubernetes Engineer to design, deploy, and operate Kubernetes-based hosting platforms across edge and embedded systems. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring our platform is secure, scalable, and resilient—supporting multi-tenant services and orchestrating workloads across aircraft and ground-based environments. This is a high-impact role for engineers who thrive in cloud-native ecosystems and are passionate about automation, security, and performance optimization. Experience in the telecom domain and networking is a strong plus.

Your role

  • Integrate Kubernetes with Linux-based infrastructure bootstrapped via PXE, OTA, and other provisioning methods.
  • Deploy and configure K3s clusters across heterogeneous hardware (bare metal, ARM/x86 nodes, and accelerators).
  • Automate cluster provisioning, node registration, and upgrade workflows.
  • Monitor platform health using Prometheus, Grafana, and Kubernetes Events.
  • Enforce network policies, RBAC, secrets management, and container security best practices.
  • Optimize Kubernetes performance on constrained hardware and air-gapped systems.
  • Troubleshoot container runtimes, DNS resolution, and overlay networking (e.g., Calico, Flannel).
Your Skills and Experience
  • 5 years of experience managing Kubernetes platform components and lifecycle operations.
  • Understanding of multi-node hybrid clusters across x86, ARM, and accelerators.
  • Proficiency with Helm charts and Argo CD for application and platform deployment.
  • Strong skills in Go, Bash scripting, YAML/JSON configuration, and REST API development.
  • Deep understanding of Kubernetes CNI plugins and network policy management.
