About this role

This Staff Software Engineer role at vCluster — Kubernetes Tenant Isolation for AI Infrastructure offers an opportunity to architect core platform tools within the United States on a remote basis. The position suits a self-driven backend expert with deep container orchestration knowledge who wants to define next-generation multi-tenancy models.

Role Overview

As a core architect of the vCluster Platform, the chosen engineer will navigate complex container orchestration internals to build tools for leading engineering teams.

Write high-performance, resilient backend logic using Go to support core platform functionality.
Own the complete development lifecycle for features, managing tasks from initial technical design to final release.
Participate in community engagement and contribute to open-source projects to shape scalable isolation solutions.
Solve difficult systems architecture challenges that require deep technical resourcefulness.

Requirements

Deep, advanced expertise in container orchestration internals, including architectural patterns, networking, and storage.
Strong programming proficiency in Go, with the ability to translate architectural understanding into efficient code.
A demonstrated builder mindset with active personal projects, experiments, or open-source work.
High agency, autonomy, and the ability to independently identify and resolve problems.
Experience in high-growth startup environments with comfort around ambiguity.

Nice to Have

Previous contributions to upstream container orchestration projects, such as documentation updates, pull requests, or participation in special interest groups.
