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.
• Develop Kubernetes operators and supporting automation, observability, security, resilience and scale concerns
• Work with the most dynamic and exciting open source software projects today – Kubernetes (K8S), Helm, OpenStack, and related projects
• Work as part of a team focused on containerization, virtualization and fault tolerance/carrier-grade development.
• Contribute actively to StarlingX, an open source project under the OpenInfra Foundation - a fully featured cloud for the distributed edge (https://www.starlingx.io/).
• Develop and deliver high-quality design and code.
• Develop automated tests, enabling faster design and test cycles.
• Investigate and resolve issues reported during product verification and customer integration.
• Participate in all aspects of the software development process using agile development.
• Develop solutions for configuration management across multiple linux hosts
• Develop solutions for process monitoring and recovery of services running in linux
• Develop solutions for configuration and state information backup and retrieval to restore systems to a previous point in time.
• Diagnose issues related to linux processes in high availability, process monitoring, system active standby failover and configuration management
