Job Description
ArangoDB is the leading native multi-model NoSQL database, with more than 4 million downloads. It combines the power of graphs, with JSON documents and a key-value store. ArangoDB makes all of our clients data models accessible with a single declarative query language. Developers can build high-performance applications using a convenient SQL-like query language or JavaScript extensions. ArangoDB itself is written in C++, but a lot of our tools surrounding it are written in Go. Oh, and did we mention it is open source?
We are looking for an experienced Kubernetes Engineer to lead the development of our Kubernetes Operator. Our goal is to make working with data easy. And because we want to make it simpler for others, we have to work on solving complex problems like the simple deployment of ArangoDB in cluster environments. As a part of our dynamic team you will work on various components that integrate deeply into Kubernetes that make running stateful and resilient databases as easy as possible for our customers.
Our headquarter ArangoDB Inc. is in San Francisco (US), our secondary location is in Cologne (Germany) and our diverse team includes workmates at remote locations worldwide. So do you prefer your desk at home or do you want to join our modern family at one of our locations? Your choice.
About the Role
You build and improve our Kubernetes operator to run and deploy our ArangoDB database
Work closely with Customer Care to provide technical support and integrate client feedback into the product lifecycle
You help produce user guides and documentation in cooperation with Marketing
Help the open source community and our clients with best practice
You help with the design, development and maintenance of our tools around ArangoDB that are written in Golang
Your Skills
Kubernetes is your thing and you feel at home in the Open Source world surrounding it
You have hands-on experience developing for and working with large scale distributed systems
Besides Kubernetes you have more than heard of Mesos (DC/OS), Docker (Swarm), Cloud Foundry
Development experience with more than one programming language, including Go
The over 40 minds of ArangoDB come from 4 different continents and over a dozen countries. Diverse backgrounds enable us to see new solutions. We love this diversity and encourage everyone who is curious and visionary to join the multi-model movement.
The Omni Team's goal it to solve the multi-cluster multi-cloud Kubernetes challenge! Building on top of concepts from cluster federation it tries to shift the paradigm in Kubernetes usage patterns and how it is being used when many clouds are involved. And while doing this to enable CAST AI customers to realize significant AAA savings for our customers.
To give you a glimpse into the complexities we navigate:
We’ve successfully proven that you can do more with Kubernetes compute resources in the ways people didn't think was possible.
We are building on top of giants, by leveraging OpenSource technologies like wireguard and controller-runtime.
We write custom Kubernetes operators to orchestrate every component, related to multi-cluster operations in the clusters.
Manage OpenSource project usage by maintaining stability, security, flexibility and independence.
We strive for minimal APIs and user experience with the goal to make multi-cloud not only a buzzword, but reality.
We're breaking new grounds of networking, Kubernetes operators and cloud provisioning at CAST AI.
The above examples merely scratch the surface of what we've achieved. Consider that these efforts are magnified by the range of cloud providers we support - and each one presents its own unique challenges. Each development sprint uncovers new hurdles and learning opportunities. We consider ourselves fortunate to operate in a cutting edge technological landscape.
Here are some of the technologies we use in the stack:
GoLang is our language.
Kubernetes is our core product.
AWS, GCP, and Azure are the clouds we operate.
Postgres and cloud object storage for persistence.
Temporal for our scheduling needs and executor.
VirtualKubelet and ControllerRuntime for our operators stack.
Terraform for IaC.
GCP PubSub for messaging.
GRPC and REST APIs.
We use GitLab CI with ArgoCD as our GitOps CD engine.
Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Tempo for observability.
Deployment charts are written in Helm.
Having experience with these tools is not a strict prerequisite for the ideal candidate, but it does offer a competitive edge.

Golang Developers Ambassador Labs Remote $160,000 to $180,000 a year
February 2022
2 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
This job posting is no longer available
Job Description
Ambassador Labs (formerly Datawire), the cloud native developer experience leader, enables developers to code, ship, and run applications faster and easier than ever. Maker of top Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) open source projects, including Emissary-ingress and Telepresence, Ambassador Labs delivers a developer control plane for Kubernetes that integrates the development, deployment, and production infrastructure for developers and organizations worldwide including Microsoft, PTC, NVidia, and Ticketmaster. Ambassador Labs is backed by top investors including Insight Partners, Matrix Partners, Trinity Ventures, and Four Rivers Group.
We are looking to hire engineers that care as much about empowering developers as we do and have embraced the cloud native phenomenon that is taking over the world. We strongly believe that Ambassador Labs’ success is dependent on hiring a diverse team. Diversity means a broader spectrum of opinions, ways of working and approaches to solving problems; we feel it is critical to helping drive the creativity, innovation and sound decision-making our customers love us for!
About the Job
As an engineer at Ambassador Labs, you will be working on products aimed at drastically improving the way cloud native developers work. Your impact will be felt by thousands of users at companies like Epic Games, Microsoft, PTC, Ticketmaster, Cisco and Unity Technologies. This is a rare opportunity to join a growing team of smart and empathetic software engineers. The role is focused primarily on development of new products and services.
We have loosely adopted Basecamp’s Shape-Up approach to development by undertaking well-shaped projects in six-week cycles. As a team, our focus is firmly on products that help users make the shift to the cloud with Kubernetes, front and center.
Here’s a bit more insight into what your work life will be like as an engineer on the Edge Stack team at Ambassador Labs:
Our products comprise multiple services and those services are written in various languages (the best language for that particular task), but as a member of the Edge Stack team you’ll work primarily in Golang and Python.
You’ll work on Linux or Mac: some of us work on one platform, some on the other, each choosing whichever platform makes us the most productive.
You’ll also use your favorite IDE or editor; although we use different ones, we’re oddly free of those silly “mine is the best” discussions :).
You’ll work on our API gateway and ingress products on a distributed team building a feature, or reviewing open source community PRs, or improving performance, etc., in six-week development cycles, and then you’ll cool down between cycles doing self-directed learning, improving your tools, or maybe even hacking up a demo of an exciting new idea of yours.
You and your team will use GitHub issues and Notion or GitHub Projects to track and plan your work, Markdown for documentation, GitHub Actions for continuous integration, Docker Hub and GCR for the resulting images, and of course Slack and Zoom. You’ll have a weekly all-company (Zoom) meeting to stay current on all the things, but we try hard to minimize the number of scheduled meetings in order to maximize focus time.
Note that on-call responsibility is shared among all engineers in the organization, currently one week every three months.
About You
You are an engineer who enjoys developing products and you consider yourself a networking and distributed systems aficionado. At the core, you are motivated by figuring out ways for developers (your people!) to own their work through the power of microservices and Kubernetes. You’re driven by understanding customers and their problems. You move with purposeful action and, most importantly, you pride yourself on execution.
We’re looking for candidates with a strong track record of putting Golang and Python to use to bring products to life. You’ve already had some direct exposure to Kubernetes and have a passion for creating WOW experiences while at the same time making continuous improvements. Have a great idea? Act on it! You don’t have to go through layers of bureaucracy to get things done at Ambassador Labs (first of all because that’s against our philosophy, and secondly because we don’t have layers of bureaucracy!).
Ambassador Labs is a remote-friendly company with “pods” in Boston, Portland and Montreal. Our pods are a way of bridging the gap between being 100% remote and working in an office. Eventually, when it is safe to do so, we will have physical offices in each of these locations for team members to go to on a part-time basis to fuel their creativity through brainstorming and watercooler conversations. This is our way of creating the best of both worlds. For now, everyone is 100% remote.
How to Apply
We are looking forward to hearing from you. We move quickly and decisively. We don’t need to talk to 20 other candidates to make a decision, so if the fit feels right on both sides, you can be part of the team as soon as next week! The first step is speaking to our People Person, followed by the engineering leadership, and then a few of your future colleagues/team members. Interviews are typically 30 - 45 minutes, all remote. We’ll talk through your background, your approach to work, and dive into your technical knowledge. No algorithms, no off-the-cuff coding sessions, or brainteasers: we want to hear about your real-life experience and successes, especially the users that you’ve made happy.
This is a demanding application process and a significant career move that’s well worth considering. We appreciate you giving us that consideration, and we promise to give you our full attention in return. Talk to you soon!
