About this role
Astronomer is hiring for a Staff Software Engineer, Platform Infrastructure role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.
Requirements

- Kubernetes at operator depth. You know what happens inside the scheduler and the control loop when things go wrong, because you’ve been there. You’ve operated clusters under real load, not just deployed workloads onto t…
- Strong Go proficiency. The platform team writes production Go. You should be fluent: you’ve built and shipped systems in it, and you have opinions about what good Go looks like.
- Multi-cloud experience, not just multi-cloud exposure. You’ve made considered architectural decisions across AWS, GCP, and/or Azure — not just consumed managed services, but evaluated tradeoffs between them and lived wi…
- Experience defining requirements and driving technology choices across an engineering organization. You’ve been the person in the room who frames the decision correctly, not just the one who executes it.

- Experience with storage primitives at the system level — you’ve reasoned about when to reach for a relational store vs. an object store vs. something else, and you have real opinions informed by real failures.
- Experience working on a SaaS/PaaS product across multiple cloud providers.
