Golang Developer (Kubernetes)

Cloud-Exit helps enterprises move off hyperscalers to EU-native infrastructure. We’re hiring a pragmatic Go engineer to build production-grade, Kubernetes-native software with a sharp focus on reliability, simplicity, and great developer ergonomics.

What you’ll do

• Design and ship Kubernetes components (controllers, operators, admission webhooks) using controller-runtime.
• Build safe reconcilers: health-gated rollouts, idempotent updates, clear status/metrics.
• Own CI/CD, automated tests (unit/envtest/e2e), and release engineering.
• Collaborate across platform, security, and product to turn requirements into clean APIs and code.
• Write high-quality docs and examples so users succeed without hand-holding.

Required skills

• 4+ years professional software engineering, 2+ years in Go (concurrency, interfaces, tooling).
• Hands-on Kubernetes: API machinery, CRDs, informers, RBAC, Services/Networking.
• Experience building operators/controllers with controller-runtime (or equivalent).
• Solid testing discipline (unit, property/fuzz preferred), observability (Prometheus/Grafana), and debugging.
• Strong Git workflow and code-review habits; comfort with GitOps practices.

Nice to have

• Admission webhooks, mutating/validating pipelines, and sidecar injection patterns.
• Kubernetes networking (CNI fundamentals, eBPF basics), TCP/IP, NAT traversal; VPN/WireGuard knowledge is a plus.
• Helm/Argo CD or Flux, container hardening, image signing/SBOM.
• Security-minded engineering; familiarity with GDPR/ISO 27001/DORA expectations.
• Experience in remote, fast-moving teams with high ownership.

How we work

• Kubernetes-first, declarative by default.
• Small teams, high ownership, tight feedback loops with real users.
• We value clear writing, thoughtful trade-offs, and boring, reliable solutions over clever hacks.

Benefits

• Remote-first within EU time zones, flexible hours.
• Competitive compensation, equipment budget, and learning stipend.
• Opportunity to ship widely used open source and shape core platform components.
