ABOUT THE TEAM
This is a critical role that will evolve configuration management into a cloud-native operator model on Kubernetes. This role will lay important foundations as Wind River Cloud Platform replaces legacy configuration (e.g. Puppet) with a declarative configuration model based on Kubernetes operators. Designed for production grade support, these operators encapsulate existing business logic, upgrade support, security, observability, performance and scaling, and lifecycle management.
The right candidate will possess maturity in Kubernetes, ideally building operators, with proven software engineering skills to deliver robust applications that scale, and a quality automation mindset. Maturity, impeccable judgment, and the ability to influence and lead are essential to success in this role.
The candidate will have also contribute to the linux applications that integrate with the Kubernetes operators, in domains such as host management, service management, and fault management.
This is an exciting opportunity to have a big impact on cloud-native configuration management and contribute to open-source software that is heavily used at scale in critical 5G Edge solutions.
Responsibilities:
- Develop leading edge, high-performance cloud and container technologies for the Edge.
