Summary

About the Company
Uplers is hiring on behalf of a venture backed enterprise software company ($100M Series D) that helps large organizations deploy and manage Kubernetes at scale across public clouds, private clouds and the edge. Its platform runs in commercial and federal environments, and the engineering team is small, senior and highly selective.
 
About the Role
 
Senior Software Engineer – Kubernetes & Go (Sustaining Engineering)
Employment type: Full-time
Workplace type: Remote / Hybrid (San Jose, CA preferred; open to candidates across the continental US)
 
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Sustaining Engineering team. This is not a build-from-scratch role. You'll own the engineering resolution of complex, customer-impacting issues on a Kubernetes-heavy, Go-based product: finding the root cause, writing the code fix and shipping patches and backports. Customers reach this team through Support. You'll work with Support and Product Engineering on escalations but won't run a ticket queue. You'll report directly to the Sustaining Engineering lead.
 
Responsibilities
  • Investigate and root cause complex production defects across Kubernetes clusters, control-plane components and Go microservices
  • Write, test and ship code-level fixes, patches and backports
  • Debug distributed systems issues on public cloud (EKS, AKS, GKE) and private cloud (VMware) environments
  • Work with Support and Product Engineering to turn escalations into durable fixes
  • Review code and findings, including output from AI assisted tools, and validate that they are correct before they ship
  • Contribute RCAs and improvements that prevent repeat issues
Qualifications
  • Authorization to work in the US and US citizenship (no visa sponsorship available)
Required Skills
  • Deep, hands-on Kubernetes experience in production: cluster administration or backend and internals work. A CKA certification is a strong signal.
  • Strong backend software engineering experience: you can read, debug and write production code, not just scripts
  • Hands-on Go (Golang) experience writing or debugging services
  • Production experience with at least one managed Kubernetes service: Amazon EKS, Azure AKS or Google GKE
Preferred Skills
  • VMware / private cloud experience
  • Cluster API (CAPI) experience
  • CKA certification
  • Experience supporting or sustaining a commercial software product
