Senior Go Engineer – Kubernetes Operator Development

About

For our client in Switzerland, we are looking for an Senior Go Engineer – Kubernetes Operator Development. We are looking for an experienced Senior Go Consultant to join our team for a high-impact project. This role is strictly focused on software engineering within the Kubernetes ecosystem (writing Operators and CRDs), rather than classic DevOps or SRE tasks.

General Information

• Start Date: asap (latest: )
• Location: CH-Basel/remote (hybrid model)

Tasks & Responsibilities

• Development: Architect and develop custom Kubernetes Operators using Go to automate complex application lifecycles.
• Integration: Extend the Kubernetes API using CRDs and implement controllers using the controller-runtime or Kubebuilder.
• Application Logic: Writing the core Go logic that manages stateful or stateless applications within the cluster.
• Best Practices: Implementing robust error handling, reconciliation loops, and comprehensive unit/integration tests for the operators.
• No DevOps Overhead: You focus on the Go codebase; our SRE team handles cluster provisioning and cloud provider management.

Must-Haves

• Expert Go Programming: Deep understanding of Go internals, concurrency, and patterns for distributed systems.
• K8s Extension Mastery: Proven track record of building and deploying Kubernetes Operators in production environments.
