As our Compute & Network Engineer, you’ll architect and operate the foundational control plane and data services that power our containerized workloads—spanning EKS clusters, core addons, container registries, batch processing gateways, and inter-region networking.

• Enable batch workloads on Kubernetes by operating our Spark Gateway API and Spark Operator, and support Spark RBAC, scheduling queues, and history servers
• Build and maintain our workflow engine and related automation for orchestration of complex data and ML pipelines
• Architect and maintain network foundations—VPCs, subnets, peering, edge gateways, and Istio service mesh—to ensure secure, high-performance connectivity across regions

About You:

• 5+ years of experience in platform, SRE, or DevOps engineering roles, with a focus on Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure
• Deep expertise in AWS EKS, ECR, container orchestration (Helm, Argo), and core Kubernetes addons
• Hands-on mastery of Spark on Kubernetes (Gateway, Operator) and workflow schedulers like Flyte or Airflow
• Strong scripting and automation skills (Bash, Python, Terraform) and proficiency with Linux administration
• Clear communicator who thrives in fast-paced, collaborative environments and can evangelize best practices across teams
• Familiarity with network topology (VPCs, peering, Istio)
