  • Be expected to work in‑office (Seattle / Bellevue).

About you :

  • Have 5+ years of experience in deeply technical roles in engineering functions.
  • Have a deep passion for all things Kubernetes and the broader container orchestration ecosystem.
  • Can navigate and pick up new technologies quickly.
