We are unable to sponsor new H-1B visa petitions for this position.\n\nJob Summary\nWe are looking for a Kubernetes Service Engineer to design, deploy, and operate service mesh platforms — primarily Istio and Linkerd — that provide secure, observable, and reliable service-to-service communication across our Kubernetes estate. The role focuses on platform engineering, mesh adoption, mTLS, traffic policy, and helping application teams reap the benefits of a mesh without paying for unnecessary complexity. The ideal candidate has operated service mesh in production, deeply understands Envoy and the data plane, and brings both platform engineering discipline and pragmatic adoption strategies.\n\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign and operate service mesh platforms — primarily Istio and Linkerd — across multi-cluster Kubernetes environments.\n\nImplement and operate mTLS, certificate rotation, and identity propagation across the mesh.\n\nDefine traffic management policies including routing, retries, circuit breaking, and fault injection.\n\nIntegrate the mesh with ingress, egress, and API gateway tiers for unified traffic management.\n\nBuild observability for mesh traffic including distributed tracing, golden signals, and topology visualization.\n\nDesign multi-cluster and cross-cluster mesh topologies for high availability and tenant isolation.\n\nProfile and optimize mesh performance, sidecar resource usage, and control-plane footprint, applying systematic measurement, targeted improvements, and data-driven validation to deliver quantifiable gains in throughput, latency, or resource efficiency.\n\nDevelop paved-road adoption patterns and onboarding guides that make mesh adoption easy for app teams.\n\nImplement authorization policies and zero-trust patterns at the service mesh layer.\n\nOperate service mesh upgrades, control-plane lifecycle management, and configuration governance, applying disciplined release practices that keep the mesh current without disrupting workloads running on top of it.\n\nPartner with SRE, platform, and security teams on mesh policy and incident response.\n\nTroubleshoot complex networking, mTLS, and traffic issues spanning sidecar and gateway tiers.\n\nMaintain runbooks, architecture diagrams, and onboarding materials for the service mesh platform.\n\nStay current with Istio, Linkerd, Cilium, and broader service mesh ecosystem developments.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.\n\nFive or more years of experience in platform engineering, SRE, or networking roles.\n\nHands-on experience operating Istio or Linkerd in production.\n\nStrong understanding of Envoy proxy internals and configuration.\n\nDeep Kubernetes expertise including networking, CNI, and ingress.\n\nStrong understanding of mTLS, PKI, and certificate lifecycle management.\n\nExperience with distributed tracing and observability for mesh traffic.\n\nProficiency in Go or Python for tooling and automation.\n\nStrong troubleshooting skills across networking, application, and control plane layers.\n\nExcellent communication and collaboration skills.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with multi-cluster Istio or Linkerd deployments.\n\nFamiliarity with Cilium service mesh and eBPF networking.\n\nOpen-source contributions to service mesh projects.\n\nExperience with SPIFFE/SPIRE for workload identity.\n\nExposure to zero-trust networking initiatives at enterprise scale.\n\nHow to Apply\nWould you like to know more about this opportunity?\nFor immediate consideration, please send your resume to or contact us at (908) 505-3545.
