Platform Engineer (Kubernetes)

The Platform Engineer at Aranya Inc. will help build and evolve ClusterdOS, abstracting Kubernetes complexity while keeping its power. You’ll work closely with the founding team to design systems, GitOps workflows, and the infrastructure layer that makes multi-cluster management intuitive for developers.

What youll do

• Build and extend ClusterdOS core features using Go, including custom Kubernetes operators and controllers.
• Design and implement GitOps workflows with ArgoCD to streamline continuous deployment.
• Develop infrastructure-as-code patterns using Terraform and Helm to provision and manage clusters.
• Work on distributed storage solutions using Ceph and WEKA for high-performance, scalable storage.
• Create observability and monitoring systems with Prometheus and Grafana to surface cluster health and performance.
• Build and optimize container networking with Cilium for security and observability.
• Design and implement federated Kubernetes architectures for multi-cluster management.
• Build automation tooling to reduce operational overhead for developers running production workloads.
• Contribute to open source components and establish platform architecture patterns as an early team member.

What Aranya Inc. is looking for

• 2+ years of software development experience.
• Proficiency in Go and Kubernetes, with hands-on experience building developer tools or infrastructure products.
• Experience with distributed storage solutions such as Ceph and WEKA.
• Proficiency with ArgoCD and experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation workflows.
• Experience with Terraform, Helm, and related infrastructure provisioning tools; familiarity with Ansible or Kubespray is a plus.
• Background with service mesh technologies Istio or Linkerd, or with CNI plugins.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and their managed Kubernetes offerings.
• Strong foundational software development skills and a willingness to learn on the job.
• Contributions to Kubernetes ecosystem tools or similar open source projects.
• Experience with containerization, networking, and cloud-native architectures.
