Kubernetes Platform Engineer, Infrastructure
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 5, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 2, 2026.
Location: Remote (US). Must be based in Dallas, San Francisco or New York City. Remote for now, with hybrid planned further down the road.
Pay:
L4: $184,800-$250,000
L5 (Sr.): $223,600-$302,500
Compensation is not an issue for the right person. The role pays nearly all cash: the bonus is folded into base, and there is an equity component on top.
A late-stage AI cloud company backed by NVIDIA, with a valuation in the billions, runs AI compute out of data centers around the world. It is now building a managed Kubernetes platform that turns large fleets of bare-metal compute into dedicated, isolated clusters for customers running AI training and inference. You'd be early on that platform and own components end to end, from design through running them in production.
What you'll do
Build the APIs, controllers, operators and automation that extend Kubernetes
Improve platform reliability, observability and performance
Diagnose production issues across the application, Kubernetes, network and compute layers
Handle retries, failures, concurrency and reconciliation correctly
Work with the infrastructure, inference, networking and security teams and contribute to design decisions
What you bring
Software engineering experience on production systems
Hands-on Kubernetes: controllers or operators, CRDs, cluster lifecycle, scheduling, networking
Solid distributed systems fundamentals
Comfort with code review, automated testing, CI/CD and observability
Nice to have: built customer-facing cloud or Kubernetes products; GPU or AI infrastructure; daily use of coding agents like Claude Code or Codex
