Senior Golang Engineer

Senior Golang Engineer – Kubernetes Controllers & Secrets Management

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Golang Engineer to join a cloud platform engineering team building highly automated, secure and scalable cloud-native infrastructure.

This role sits at the intersection of Kubernetes engineering, platform automation and cloud security .

You will work hands-on developing Kubernetes Controllers and Operators in Go , automating the lifecycle of platform services and cloud resources, while contributing to secure Secrets Management and Key Management (KMS) capabilities used across the platform.

This is not simply a role operating Kubernetes. We are looking for engineers interested in building and extending Kubernetes itself through APIs, Controllers, Operators and automation .

What You'll Be Doing

Kubernetes Controllers & Platform Engineering

• Design, develop and maintain Kubernetes Controllers and Operators using Go/Golang .
• Build automation around Kubernetes resources using CRDs and Kubernetes APIs .
• Automate the provisioning, configuration and lifecycle management of cloud and platform resources.
• Build reliable reconciliation and control-loop logic for distributed systems.
• Contribute to multi-cluster Kubernetes environments and platform orchestration.
• Develop internal platform capabilities that enable engineering teams to consume infrastructure and services through automated, self-service workflows.
• Improve CI/CD, GitOps and Infrastructure-as-Code processes.
• Troubleshoot complex Kubernetes and distributed-system issues in production environments.
• Help ensure the reliability, scalability and observability of platform services.

Secrets Management, KMS & Security

• Design and develop services for secure Secrets and Key Management within Kubernetes and cloud environments.
• Integrate secrets-management capabilities with Kubernetes workloads and platform services.
• Work with KMS, IAM, TLS/certificates and secure service-to-service communication .
• Implement secure key lifecycle processes including generation, storage, access and key rotation .
• Contribute to platform and Kubernetes cluster hardening.
• Apply security best practices across highly automated and distributed environments.
• Work with cryptographic concepts such as envelope encryption, DEK/KEK and encryption at rest/in transit .

What We're Looking For

Core Requirements

• Strong professional experience developing software with Go / Golang .
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments.
• Experience developing Kubernetes Controllers, Operators or Kubernetes-native automation .
• Good understanding of Kubernetes APIs and Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) .
• Experience designing or working with distributed systems and cloud-native architectures .
• Strong understanding of software engineering principles and API design.
• Experience with CI/CD, automation and Infrastructure as Code.
• Comfortable troubleshooting complex Kubernetes and platform-level problems.

Security & Secrets Experience

Experience in some of the following areas would be highly valuable:

• Secrets Management
• Key Management Systems / KMS
• IAM
• TLS and certificate management
• Kubernetes security and cluster hardening
• Key rotation
• Encryption and applied cryptography
• Secure communication between distributed services
