The posting

Why the Kubernetes Automation Domain?

Kubernetes Automation is Cast AI's core: a family of product teams that turns optimization into real infrastructure. Together, they own the full loop — deciding which nodes to run and where, provisioning them across EKS, GKE, AKS, and our own Cast AI Anywhere, optimizing the workloads on top, and reshaping it all continuously as conditions change. No manual tuning: automation makes the call and makes it happen.

The scale is the point. When demand spikes, the platform brings up 15,000 nodes in a single cluster and gets every pod scheduled in under 45 minutes — and tears a cluster of that size back down in under 15 minutes — across multiple clouds at once, mixing instance types and spot capacity in a single operation. Across a fleet of thousands of customer clusters, our teams make the same high-stakes Kubernetes decisions — add this node, drain that one, move that workload, is this change safe — thousands of times a day, and each one has to land cleanly.

The problems sit at the intersection of Kubernetes internals and cloud-provider behavior, and much of the territory is undocumented. One team might be writing scaling algorithms, another reverse-engineering managed control planes, another migrating running containers between nodes without disruption. The common thread: deep Kubernetes knowledge, strong infrastructure fundamentals, and the judgment to own high-stakes automation in production. If you have that, you can lead any of these teams — you'll be matched with the team that best fits your strengths and interests during the hiring process.

Role overview

We are looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to join one of our Kubernetes Automation teams. It is a hybrid role: you will manage a team and spend at least half your time in the product code.

Responsibilities as an Engineering Manager

You own product development execution.

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of talented software engineers
  • Collaborate closely with the Product Owner and stakeholders to align on requirements and roadmaps
  • Ensure quality, scalability, and resilience in all deliverables
  • Foster a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and technical excellence
  • Be the role model and champion of Cast AI core values

Responsibilities as a Software Engineer

You will work in a highly skilled team across the full development lifecycle.

  • Take on scaling challenges at fleet level
  • Participate in feature brainstorming, requirement gathering, and solving customer needs
  • Design and architect software for scalability, maintainability, and performance
  • Write clean, maintainable, documented code using best practices
  • Ensure reliability through test coverage and local testing
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and the monitoring and alerting stack
  • Respond to incidents to resolve customer issues or service disruptions
  • Support the team's code (on-call week every few months)

Requirements

  • Proven experience managing and leading a technical team
  • Strong software engineering skills
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • In-depth knowledge of Kubernetes and experience managing multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Knowledge of cloud-native infrastructure, APIs, and cloud-provider-specific implementation differences
  • Hands-on experience with IaC tools such as Terraform
  • Proficient in designing and managing CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, ArgoCD) with a GitOps approach
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills

What's in it for you?

  • Competitive salary (up to €10,000 gross, depending on the level of experience)
  • Enjoy a flexible, remote-first global environment.
  • Collaborate with a global team of cloud experts and innovators, passionate about pushing the boundaries of Kubernetes technology.
  • Equity options.
  • Get quick feedback with a fast-paced workflow. Most feature projects are completed in 1 to 4 weeks.
  • Spend 10% of your work time on personal projects or self-improvement.
  • Learning budget for professional and personal development – including access to international conferences and courses that elevate your skills.
  • Annual hackathon to spark new ideas and strengthen team bonds.
  • Team-building budget and company events to connect with your colleagues.
  • Equipment budget to ensure you have everything you need.
  • Extra days off to help maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Why Cast AI?

Cast AI is an automation platform that operates cloud-native and AI infrastructure at scale. By embedding autonomous decision-making directly into Kubernetes and cloud environments, Cast AI continuously optimizes performance, reliability, and efficiency in production.

The old way doesn't work. As Kubernetes and AI environments grow, manual decisions don't. Cast AI replaces tickets, alerts, and manual tuning with continuous automation that adapts infrastructure as conditions change. Efficiency and cost savings follow naturally from that automation.

Over 2,100 companies already rely on Cast AI, including Akamai, BMW, Cisco, FICO, HuggingFace, NielsenIQ, Swisscom, and TGS.

Global team, diverse perspectives We're headquartered in Miami, but our impact is international. We take a global and intentional approach to diversity. Today, Cast AI operates across 34 countries spanning Europe, North America, Latin America, and APAC, bringing a wide range of perspectives into how we build and lead.

Unicorn momentum In January 2026, we achieved unicorn status with a strategic investment from Pacific Alliance Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Shinsegae Group (a $50+ billion Korean conglomerate). Our valuation now exceeds $1 billion, and we're just getting started.

Join us as we build the future of autonomous infrastructure.

This is a location-specific opportunity, we hire from: Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus; Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and Ukraine.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
