Kubernetes DevOps Engineer

Company Description:
A seed-stage infrastructure startup building production-grade systems for high-performance workloads, including AI and GPU-driven inference environments.

Job Description:
You will be responsible for building and maintaining production Kubernetes infrastructure from the ground up. This role involves orchestrating bare metal and cloud environments, designing custom cluster architectures for high-performance workloads such as GPU inference, and implementing robust GitOps workflows. You will ensure system reliability and performance while managing complex distributed systems at scale.

Location: San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable:

• Work on the cutting edge of distributed computing, making complex infrastructure accessible for high-growth AI and inference companies.

• Join a seed-stage team backed by top-tier technical founders from world-leading universities and supported by prominent venture capital.

• Take ownership of production environments with the autonomy to design architectures and influence the core engineering culture.

What you will do:

• Build and maintain production-grade Kubernetes clusters from scratch across bare metal, cloud, and hybrid environments.

• Design and implement automated GitOps workflows and CI/CD pipelines to manage fleet-wide upgrades without downtime.

• Orchestrate complex infrastructure lifecycles, including performance tuning for low-latency and high-throughput GPU workloads.

The ideal candidate:

• Deep expertise in Kubernetes, including building clusters from scratch and managing them using tools such as Kubespray or Ansible.

• Strong foundation in GitOps principles using ArgoCD and experience managing infrastructure-as-code in production environments.

• Proven ability to debug complex distributed systems under pressure, with experience in bare metal orchestration.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
