Responsibilities
- Build and maintain developer tooling across the platform, including CLIs, TUIs, and SDKs. •
- Develop and improve integrations such as Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, and GitHub Actions. •
- Prototype new platform capabilities such as sandboxed environments and remote builds.
Requirements
- experience for a generational cloud platform — the CLIs, SDKs, integrations, and dashboards that every user will touch the moment they meet Unikraft.
- You’ll be building the surface through which developers actually use it, and the glue that connects it to the ecosystems they already live in: Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub Actions, and beyond.
- If you care deeply about craft in developer tooling, enjoy moving fluently between Go, systems-level code, and product surfaces, and want your work to have a measurable impact on a fast-growing platform, this is your role.
- Solid engineering fundamentals and the ability to contribute across backend and tooling, specifically in Go. • Interest or
- experience in building developer tools, CLIs, or system utilities. •
- Experience working with APIs and integrations. •
- Experience with C or systems programming. •
Benefits
- Ability to manage complexity and adapt to a fast-moving platform. • [BONUS]
- Experience contributing to open source projects. • [BONUS]
- [BONUS] Familiarity with cloud-native tooling such as Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD systems.
- The Standard Stuff: Competitive salary, 6 weeks of vacation, development opportunities.
Additional details
- 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.
- You’ll work closely with world-class systems engineers, with direct ownership over the tools, integrations, and self-serve experiences that turn raw platform capability into something developers love.
- Work with APIs and integration points to make the platform feel native inside existing developer workflows.
- Contribute to the frontend and backend systems powering the dashboard and overall self-serve experience. •
- Help deploy and monitor all our external-facing services — from our website, to our dashboard, to our packaging and installation infrastructure.
- Work on lower systems-level components that directly interface with our low-level platform. •
