About the Role:

We are continuing to invest and grow our Cloud Engineering team at Redpanda.

There are exciting challenges to solve and opportunities to learn from the very best. Come join us to partner closely with product and cross functional engineering teams to build and design together, the very best present and future of real-time data.

You Will:

• Work with all the engineering teams on building new services to be deployed across all of our supported clouds
• Automate the infrastructure lifecycle on Kubernetes and monitor our services with the goal of offering a reliable, scalable, and high-performance SaaS
• Make resilience and observability integral to the system, enabling us to run a managed, cloud-based streaming-as-a-service with >99.9% uptime
• Build & design Redpanda’s cloud infrastructure with reliability and performance in mind
• Build tools & services to allow automated infrastructure provisioning and self-healing, including deployments and upgrades
• Participate in on-call rotations, working to keep customer workloads running and incident-free
• Build control planes based on Kubernetes for our multi-cloud, managed streaming-as-a-service offering

• Experience with Terraform and managing infrastructure as code
• Experience building SaaS products
• Willingness to participate in on-call rotation
• Comfortable working with 100% distributed engineering team
• Experience managing infrastructure predictably through GitOps and IaC.  Note that this is not a pure "devops" role; you will need more than scripting experience in order to qualify
• Excellent written communication skills

Nice to have:

• Experience building and operating an IaaS platform
• Operated and used streaming platforms either as a user or provider
• Cloud engineering experience
