Senior Software Engineer (Backend)

About this role

As vCluster Labs’ Senior Software Engineer (Backend), you aren’t just writing code; you are defining the future of Kubernetes multi-tenancy. In this role, you will serve as a core architect of the vCluster Platform, tasked with navigating complex Kubernetes internals to build tools used by the world's leading engineering teams.

As a Senior Software Engineer (Backend), your role will include:

• **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.

• **Kubernetes Mastery:** Deep expertise in Kubernetes internals. We value a profound understanding of how Kubernetes works (architectural patterns, networking, storage).
• **Technical Proficiency:** Strong programming skills in Go. While Kubernetes knowledge is paramount, you must be able to translate that knowledge into clean, efficient Go code.
• **Builder Mindset:** You build things outside of work. You have active GitHub projects, experiments, or open-source contributions that demonstrate your passion for building.
• **High Agency:** You are highly technical and self-driven. You thrive in environments where you are expected to identify problems and solve them autonomously.
