The Standard Stuff: Competitive salary, 6 weeks of vacation, development opportunities.

The cloud is broken: It's wasteful, slow, awfully expensive, and burdened with legacy tech that wasn't built for today's workloads.
At Unikraft we're building a generational, truly millisecond-native, extremely scalable cloud platform that provides exponentially higher efficiency.
Are you bored with your current job? Want to push the boundaries of what's possible in the cloud to the absolute limit?
Our team consists of some of the best systems, performance, and security geeks out there, and is backed by top investors with category leaders as our customers.
We believe a focused team of exceptional people, moving fast with conviction, can rebuild the cloud from first principles and make extreme efficiency (e.g., millions of users on a few servers) available to everyone.
This is a rare opportunity to work at the very foundation of a generational cloud platform -- one that's rewriting the rules of infrastructure performance.
As an SRE at Unikraft, you won't just keep the lights on.
You'll be building the reliability and deployment machinery that underpins a product developers love and trust with their most demanding workloads.
You'll work closely with world-class systems engineers and have direct ownership over production environments, deployment pipelines, and observability infrastructure.
If you care deeply about reliability, love automation, and want your work to have a measurable impact on a fast-growing platform, this is your role. What You'll Own
