Platform Engineer – Kubernetes Operators

Who are we?

Komodor is a cutting-edge Kubernetes Platform provider. Our dev-first solution streamlines Kubernetes operations across various environments, offering application and infrastructure engineers a unified platform to optimize cost and control. We aim to simplify the developer experience, enhance efficiency, and bridge the gap between application and infra teams – all while empowering companies to focus more on innovation and less on Kubernetes management. With $67M in funding raised, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what our platform can do.

Core mission:

As a Senior Backend Developer, your main responsibility will be designing and developing Go-based services that run on our customers’ Kubernetes clusters. These include agents, operators, and controllers – components that communicate directly with the Kubernetes API and enable real-time observability, automation, and troubleshooting.

Your mission is to build robust, secure, and scalable backend systems that are the heartbeat of our product, and ensure they perform smoothly across thousands of clusters. You'll work closely with a cross-functional team of product managers, DevOps engineers, and fellow developers to take features from idea to production.

Build and maintain Komodor’s core backend systems – with a focus on Kubernetes-native components
Design and develop Golang-based agents, operators, and CRDs that interact with customer environments
Optimize performance, stability, and resource efficiency in Kubernetes deployments
Own feature delivery end-to-end: from ideation, design, to production rollout
Collaborate with your team to plan and prioritize features with the highest impact
Be part of a fast-paced, CI/CD-first environment
