If you want to join an established leader in the cloud infrastructure industry and the global open source community, keep reading, because you can now join a team of exceptionally passionate and talented colleagues whose mission is to help the world's leading enterprises to implement their next-generation edge and cloud strategies. We are hiring!

We are currently looking for a Kubernetes Engineer (Rancher & RKE2 Specialist) to join us in Europe as part of our team developing the next-generation management platform for the Cloud-Edge Computing Continuum.

Job Description

Kubernetes & Cloud Integration Engineers are responsible for designing, integrating, deploying, and maintaining large-scale cloud-based solutions built on Rancher-managed RKE2 clusters across cloud and edge environments. They work on end-to-end lifecycle management—from architecture and automation to operations and optimization—ensuring that Kubernetes platforms are secure, scalable, reliable, and aligned with industry best practices.

These engineers play a key role in building production-grade cloud-edge infrastructures, integrating certified CNIs/CSIs, automating multi-cluster deployments, and ensuring consistent, stable operations across distributed environments. They troubleshoot complex multi-layer issues, collaborate with engineering teams, and support customers adopting advanced cloud-edge architectures
