Staff SDET (Kubernetes & Go)

Staff SDET (Kubernetes) – Remote

Must be a Kubernetes expert—admin / operator level proficiency required. CKA

certification is a major plus.

We are seeking a Staff Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) who will lead the quality

strategy, test architecture, and automation across our Kubernetes-based products and

open-source platforms. This is a highly technical role for an experienced engineer who thrives in

startup environments and has deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes, test automation

frameworks, and CI / CD pipelines.

product reliability, scalability, and performance through automation, architecture-level quality

thinking, and hands-on collaboration across engineering teams.
