Job Description

Cloud Telemetry Platform Engineer:

• About the Role

This is a Cloud Telemetry Control‑Plane + Observability Platform role.

It is NOT Linux OS and NOT basic telemetry agent support.

This role focuses on Kubernetes‑native telemetry platforms running at cloud + edge scale.

MUST‑HAVE (Customer Mandated)

• Strong experience with Go (Golang)

• Hands‑on programming against the Kubernetes API

• Experience with at least ONE of the following:

• Kubernetes Controllers

• Kubernetes Operators

• Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) platform development

Key Cloud Telemetry Highlights:

Core Focus Areas:

• Kubernetes control plane & CRDs

• Telemetry routing & management APIs

• High‑throughput cloud telemetry (logs, metrics, traces)

• Edge / air‑gapped environments

• Google Distributed Cloud (GDC)

Strong Technical Expectations:

• 5+ years Kubernetes ecosystem & telemetry infrastructure

• Open Telemetry + Prometheus

• Envoy, service mesh, telemetry proxies

• Store‑and‑forward architectures

• Go (mandatory) | C++ / Java / Python (secondary)

Nature of Work:

• Building Kubernetes‑native management layers

• Programming controllers / operators for telemetry routing

• Translating telemetry intent → runtime configs

• Designing scalable control planes (not agents only)

• OSS contribution is a strong expectation

Explicitly NOT Required:

• • Linux kernel / driver engineers

• Support‑only observability profiles

• DevOps / SRE profiles without controller/operator experience

Note:

• “This role requires Go development, Kubernetes API usage, and controller/operator experience. Linux OS or driver development is NOT required. Experience with GDC is highly preferred.”
