About the Role

~1 min read

Build and operate infrastructure that powers open source software at scale. You will work directly with client engineering teams to design, deploy and maintain production platforms. Kubernetes is central to how we work and a tool we are investing in heavily, but the role spans the broader infrastructure landscape.

This isn't passive infrastructure management. You will be solving real operational problems, recommending open source solutions that genuinely fit the problem and helping clients build platforms they can own and maintain long term.

This role combines deep technical work with collaborative consulting. You will partner with client engineering teams to solve their toughest infrastructure challenges, develop genuine platform expertise and grow into technical leadership over time.

Some days are deep technical work, others involve more client communication. You will balance both based on project needs and your strengths.

We respect your time and provide a clear, structured process.

Even if we do not move forward, we will tell you why

We are committed to building a diverse team and inclusive environment. We encourage applications from people under-represented in tech.

We evaluate candidates based on skills and contributions, not pedigree. If you are unsure whether you qualify, apply anyway. Imposter syndrome is real and you might be exactly who we are looking for.

We recognise that the combination of deep infrastructure expertise and consulting skills is rare. If you have strong Kubernetes and platform experience and are newer to the consulting side of the role, or vice versa — we want to hear from you. We can develop one if the other is solid.
