About vCluster Labs
We are a venture-backed tech startup striving to be the leading force in enabling platform engineers. Our headquarters are in San Francisco (Salesforce Tower), but our team is distributed around the globe and we have a remote-first work culture.
We're the company behind vCluster, an open-source technology for virtualizing Kubernetes (+10k GitHub stars). Open source is part of our DNA.
Responsibilities
- 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.
- Technical Problem Solving: Tackle hard engineering challenges where the solution isn't always on ChatGPT, requiring a deep understanding of systems architecture.
Requirements
- 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.
- Start-Up Grit: Experience working in a high-growth environment. You are comfortable with ambiguity and eager to make an impact.
Benefits
- Competitive Salary
- Platinum-Level Insurance: Health, dental, vision, and life Insurance, including plans for you and eligible dependents.
- Flexible Working Schedule: We won't have an issue with you managing your personal life.
- Workplace Flexibility: We're very flexible about where you work.
