Cloudkite.io is a kubernetes services and software engineering company. This position is a 50/50 split of SRE/DevOps for our clients and also working on building our internal tooling (which are awesome and will be open sourced). Because we work with clients on a wide variety of software, I am looking for T-shaped individuals.
Desired skills:
- linux
- networking
- docker
- kubernetes (or the ability to pass the CNCF CKA exam within 3 months -https://www.cncf.io/certification/expert/)
- python
- golang
- bash
- js (nice to have)
Emails containing a link to a PR where you fixed a bug or added reasonable documentation to an open source project would be highly considered.vtrac | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2017)

I live in Austin, so there's only a few months out of the year that this will be useful, but I can only imagine how glorious it will be to walk barefoot on warm tile in the winter. :)
