About this role
Giant Swarm is a fast-growing open-source infrastructure management platform used by modern enterprises. They are looking for a Platform Engineer specializing in Security to join their product development team, focusing on crafting managed Kubernetes platform offerings and enhancing security features and tooling.
Responsibilities:
- You will be responsible for architecting and building distributed systems, as part of our managed Kubernetes offering
- You will build Kubernetes Operators, MCP servers, and orchestration tools for popular applications
- You will use, support, and become a key expert in a variety of technologies from across the open-source community, including Falco, Trivy, Kubescape, Kyverno, SPIFFE/SPIRE, Prometheus, and Flatcar Linux
- This is not a support role, but you will regularly interact with customers to investigate issues, learn about their use cases, and provide expert guidance for the things you build
- You will take part in an on-call rotation, as part of our ‘you build it, you run it’ philosophy. This includes improving operations, such as adding metrics, or building dashboards
- You will have the opportunity to participate in company “blue team” activities, like compliance, vulnerability management, and security incident response, if you desire
Requirements:
- You have expert experience with Go, Helm, and a strong architectural background
- You have worked extensively with Kubernetes
- You are an experienced Linux user
- You are comfortable using AI tooling as part of the development process
- You deploy 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
- You are able to comfortably align parts of your workday with Europe (UTC +/- 2 hours). We offer flexible working hours, but have team members and customers across time zones, and you will need to be able to regularly communicate with them
- Bonus points if you have meaningful experience with Kubernetes security tooling, have ever maintained an open-source security project, are/were an incident responder, or have worked in a 'blue team' role
