Job Description

Kubernetes engineer for Edera focusing on deep Kubernetes internals and integration. Working with teams to build orchestration primitives and enhance Kubernetes' capabilities.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the deep CRI/kubelet integration for our runtime.
  • Debug pathological cluster behavior involving kubelet, scheduler, CRI, and CNI.
  • Work with the Hypervisor team to align VM lifecycle with pod semantics.
  • Build new orchestration primitives for secure multi-tenancy.
  • Be the technical authority for how Kubernetes and Edera interact.
  • Help define the right abstractions so Kubernetes “just works” on a VM-per-pod runtime.

Requirements:

  • Core Kubernetes Depth:
  • Strong understanding of API server storage/watches, informers, and controller reconciliation.
  • Deep knowledge of scheduler filtering/scoring and admission chain behavior.
  • Experience with GC, finalizers, and ownerReference mechanics under load.
  • Expert in pod lifecycle and kubelet expectations.
  • Strong understanding of kubelet cgroups, QoS, pressure/eviction signals, and CRI lifecycle.
  • Clear mental model of probes, logs, exec/attach flows and node-level networking/storage behavior.
  • Runtime Integration Basics:
  • Knows where Kubernetes assumes shared PID/net/ipc namespaces.
  • Understands how CRI relies on Linux container semantics.
  • Familiar with device plugins, topology hints, and resource guarantees.
  • Strong understanding of CNI IPAM, routing, and teardown behavior.

Benefits:

  • Competitive Salary
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Equity
  • 100% medical coverage for you and your eligible dependents
