Software Engineer - Go, CI/CD, Kubernetes

Software Engineer – Go, CI//CD, Kubernetes

Domain: Go, CI//CD, Kubernetes Location: Remote | Time Zone: (Global) (Pacific timezone overlap)

About Virtasant Virtasant is a global technology services company delivering large‑scale cloud, data, and engineering solutions across 130+ countries. We partner with some of the world’s largest organizations to help them build, operate, and scale internal platforms used by tens of thousands of engineers.

The Role We are hiring a Software Engineer specializing in Go with strong DevOps experience. This role is approximately 70% Go engineering and 30% DevOps. You will build Go‑based tooling, deliver reliable CI/CD pipelines, stabilize Kubernetes developer workloads, and improve monorepo build systems. You’ll navigate a complex ecosystem of custom internal tools, requiring fast learning, strong debugging, and a high degree of autonomy. This is a hands‑on engineering role supporting a platform used by thousands of developers.

Key Responsibilities

Go Development & Internal Tooling

• Design and implement Go‑based tools, automation, and internal services.
• Build solutions that directly support developer workflows across a massive ecosystem.
• Maintain high‑quality, scalable, and reliable code for internal platform operations.

CI/CD Pipeline Engineering

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines from scratch , not just configure them.
• Work with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or equivalent tooling.
• Improve pipeline reliability, speed, and developer experience at a global scale.

Kubernetes Engineering (Developer‑Level)

• Manage, support, and troubleshoot Kubernetes workloads for developers.
• This is not Kubernetes admin‑level work , but strong user‑level troubleshooting is required.
• Debug deployments, configs, secrets, scaling issues, and runtime behaviors.
• Participate in incident response and on‑call (rotational, low frequency).

Monorepo Build System (Bazel)

• Support and optimize the Bazel‑based monorepo build environment.
• Improve build performance, stability, and developer productivity.
• Contribute features and fixes to the monorepo tooling used across the organization.

Production Debugging & Operational Excellence

• Investigate and resolve production issues with structured root cause analysis.
• Work with internal observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or custom).
• Learn and leverage the extensive custom tooling provided by the client.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong production‑level Go programming skills.
• Hands‑on experience building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.).
• Strong Kubernetes troubleshooting at a developer‑facing level.
• Proven production debugging experience across distributed systems.
• Containerization expertise (Docker).
• Working knowledge of Terraform and Helm.
• Ability to learn and adapt quickly to complex custom tooling.
• Strong systems thinking, debugging depth, and autonomy.

Nice‑to‑Have Skills

• Experience with monorepo build systems, especially Bazel.
• Exposure to TypeScript, Node.js, or Vite.
• Kubernetes deployment patterns, observability, or cluster optimization.
• Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or similar systems.
• Broader DevOps / platform engineering experience.

Why This Role Is Exciting

• You will build and operate systems used by 5,000+ developers at a global‑scale company.
• You will become fluent in a wide ecosystem of advanced tooling, infrastructure, and internal platforms.
• You will work at the intersection of Go, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and monorepo build engineering.
• You will learn extremely fast; the complexity and scale are unmatched in typical engineering orgs.
• You will solve deep, meaningful technical problems that directly impact developer productivity worldwide.

Why Join Virtasant Freedom to Grow. Power to Deliver. At Virtasant, you’ll join a truly global team in 130+ countries, where you can:

• Work from anywhere with trust and autonomy.
• Collaborate with some of the most skilled engineers in the world.
• Work with cutting‑edge systems across clients and industries.
• Make a real impact by solving technical challenges that matter.

We’re remote‑first. Trust‑based. Proudly diverse. And relentlessly focused on great engineering.
