About the Role:

Rumble Cloud is seeking a Kubernetes Engineer to support our team in rolling out and operating our next-generation Kubernetes platform. This role will focus on our new CAPI/CAPO-based Kubernetes solution, which is designed to be compatible with our existing OpenStack Magnum API and will be deployed across our public cloud. You will help run the day-to-day operations of the Kubernetes service, assist with migrations and onboarding from our current Magnum-based offering, and act as an escalation point for complex customer issues that go beyond front-line support. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys debugging difficult problems, improving reliability, and working closely with both platform engineers and customer-facing teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Operate and maintain Rumble Cloud’s Kubernetes platform, including our new CAPI/CAPO-based installation and its integration with the OpenStack Magnum API.
• Assist in the rollout, migration, and upgrade processes as customers transition from the existing Magnum-based solution to the new platform.
• Serve as an escalation point for customer support, troubleshooting complex Kubernetes and cluster lifecycle issues.
• Monitor the health, performance, and capacity of Kubernetes clusters and underlying infrastructure; assist in incident response and root cause analysis.
• Implement and maintain day-2 operations processes, including backup/restore, scaling, patching, and cluster upgrades.
• Collaborate with the Kubernetes Architect to implement standards, best practices, and reference patterns for cluster configuration and operations.
• Help manage and integrate container registries, identity, networking, and storage components required for the Kubernetes platform.
• Automate repetitive operational tasks using scripting and infrastructure-as-code tools.
• Contribute to and maintain runbooks, documentation, and knowledge base articles for both internal teams and customer-facing support.
• Provide feedback from operations and customer interactions to influence platform improvements and product roadmap.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Extensive experience in Linux systems engineering, cloud engineering, or platform/SRE roles, including hands-on work with Kubernetes in production environments.
• Practical experience with installing, operating, and troubleshooting Kubernetes in production environments.
• Experience working with Kubernetes on OpenStack or other cloud providers.
• Familiarity with Cluster API (CAPI) and/or Cluster API Provider OpenStack (CAPO), or strong willingness to ramp up quickly.
• Strong understanding of Linux, containers, and container runtimes (e.g., Docker, containerd).
• Experience with Kubernetes networking, storage, and ingress concepts (CNI, CSI, load balancers, ingress controllers).
• Hands-on experience with scripting and automation (e.g., Bash, Python, or Go) for operational tasks.
• Familiarity with configuration management and IaC tools such as Ansible and Terraform.
• Experience with monitoring and logging in Kubernetes environments (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/Graylog, or similar).
• Strong troubleshooting skills, clear written documentation, and effective communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have (Preferred Skills):

• Experience with OpenStack Magnum and its Kubernetes integrations.
• Experience operating Kubernetes on other public cloud platforms (EKS, AKS, GKE).
• Knowledge of Ceph, S3-compatible storage, and their use with Kubernetes.
• Understanding of application architectures on Kubernetes, including microservices and 12-factor applications.
• Exposure to CI/CD toolchains (e.g., Git, GitLab/Jenkins, Artifactory, etc.) for containerized workloads.
• Experience with security hardening and best practices for Kubernetes (RBAC, PodSecurity, network policies, image scanning).

Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience operating production Kubernetes clusters and working as part of a cross-functional cloud/platform team.
• Ability to work effectively under pressure, handle escalations, and maintain a strong customer-focused mindset.
• Passion for continuous learning in Kubernetes, cloud-native tooling, and automation.

• Lead our efforts in Kubernetes (EKS) architecture, cluster management, and deployment strategies.

• Collaborate with application and platform engineering teams to optimize microservices deployment, CI/CD workflows, and service orchestration.

• Define and implement infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools like Terraform or AWS CDK.

• Drive observability and performance monitoring strategies using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or CloudWatch.

• Champion DevOps culture across the organization and mentor other engineers on cloud-native best practices. 

• Develop and maintain disaster recovery and business continuity strategies. 

• Conduct architecture reviews, performance tuning, and capacity planning.

• Stay up to date with industry trends and emerging technologies, proactively recommending improvements.
   

What You'll Need

• 8+ years of experience in infrastructure, DevOps, or site reliability engineering roles.

• Strong expertise with AWS services (EC2, ECS/EKS, IAM, VPC, RDS, S3, etc.).

• Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS) in production environments.

• Proficient in infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform, Pulumi, or AWS CDK.

• Experience with microservices and distributed systems architectures.

• Strong scripting and automation skills (e.g., Python, Bash, Go). 

• Proven experience with monitoring, logging, and observability systems.

• Solid understanding of networking, security, and cloud infrastructure best practices.
