About the role

Build More Than Just a Career. Build Your Future.

At Vailexa, we’re not just hiring — we’re building thinkers, creators, and future leaders.

We believe in giving people the space to grow, the freedom to think, and the opportunity to create real impact from day one. If you’re someone who wants to learn fast, take ownership, and grow beyond limits, you’ll feel right at home here.

Targeting candidates with experience at cloud-native, DevOps, or infrastructure-focused companies such as Datadog, Cloudflare, Core Weave, Digital Ocean, Cloudera, CircleCI, Elastic, Dynatrace, or similar organizations where Kubernetes is used at scale in production environments. No targeting candidates whose Kubernetes experience is limited to UI tools, basic cluster ops, or non-engineering functions.

A Typical Day

  • Influence and coach a distributed team of engineers.
  • Deliver enhancements that drive the cost efficiency of our cloud platform.
  • Facilitate alignment and clarity across teams on goals, outcomes, and timelines.
  • Manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables.
  • Contribute to the multi-year strategy to evolve client’s Cloud Platform
  • Design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance the compute platform.

Your Expertise

  • BS, MS or Ph.D. in computer science or related field, or equivalent work experience
  • 12+ years of relevant work experience in infrastructure
  • 4+ years of expertise with a public cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure) and their infrastructure as a service offering (e.g. EC2).
  • Experience setting technical direction, planning, and successfully executing on large projects spanning multiple teams
  • Kubernetes Experience is required.
  • Istio/Envoy Experience is preferred.
