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. In this role, you will support one of the most advanced internal developer platforms in the world, powering systems used by more than 5,000 developers. You will work at the intersection of Go engineering, CI/CD automation, Kubernetes, and monorepo tooling, solving deeply technical problems that shape the developer experience at a massive scale. 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. Apply tot his job
