Sr. Software Engineer (Backend)

vCluster Labs is a venture-backed tech startup pioneering Kubernetes virtualization for the AI era. As a Sr. Software Engineer (Backend), you will be responsible for architecting the vCluster Platform, diving deep into Kubernetes internals, and writing high-performance Go code to enhance container orchestration tools for leading engineering teams.

Responsibilities:

• Kubernetes Deep-Dive: Work intimately with Kubernetes internals to push the boundaries of container orchestration
• Go Development: Write high-performance, resilient Go code to power the core logic of the vCluster platform
• End-to-End Ownership: Take full ownership of your work. You are self-driven and capable of managing feature development from technical design to release without needing constant oversight
• Open Source Innovation: Engage with the community and contribute to our open-source projects. You will help define the next generation of tenancy models, creating scalable solutions for isolation and resource sharing beyond simple namespaces
• Technical Problem Solving: Tackle hard engineering challenges where the solution isn't always on ChatGPT, requiring a deep understanding of systems architecture

Requirements:

• Deep expertise in Kubernetes internals
• Strong programming skills in Go
• Ability to translate Kubernetes knowledge into clean, efficient Go code
• Active GitHub projects, experiments, or open-source contributions
• Highly technical and self-driven
