Senior Software Engineer (REMOTE)

Upbound builds Intelligent Control Planes (based on Kubernetes and Crossplane) to help platform and infrastructure teams provision, operate, and adapt cloud-native systems. We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help design, build, and operate Upbound Spaces — the multi-control-plane management software — focusing on scalability, reliability, and customer-facing production support across cloud and on-prem environments.

Skills

  • Strong Go programming experience and code ownership.
  • Deep knowledge of Kubernetes controllers, reconciliation loops, and API interactions.
  • Proven experience operating production cloud services at scale (monitoring, alerting, incident response).
  • Experience with observability stacks: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing.
  • Distributed systems debugging and performance troubleshooting.
  • Familiarity with multi-tenant SaaS environments and enterprise deployments.
  • Comfortable working directly with customers and diagnosing customer-managed deployments.
  • Experience with CI/CD, automation, and production deployment workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain Go services that interface with the Kubernetes API (operators, controllers, add-ons).
  • Operate Upbound Spaces in production: monitoring, incident response, troubleshooting, and post-incident improvements.
  • Design and deliver high-impact features requested by customers, from design docs through deployment and support.
  • Investigate and debug complex multi-control-plane and reconciliation issues in customer environments.
  • Deploy, manage, and troubleshoot Kubernetes-based services using metrics, logs, and traces.
  • Build operational tooling for debugging control plane health and automating incident response.
  • Author documentation, runbooks, user guides, and post-incident reviews.
  • Participate in on-call rotation and directly engage with customers to reproduce and resolve issues.

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Relevant hands-on experience with cloud-native architectures and Kubernetes preferred.

Benefits

  • Remote-first work with flexible hours and distributed team culture
  • Competitive salary, equity / stock options, and performance-related compensation
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401(k) or equivalent retirement plan
  • Generous paid time off and parental leave
  • Professional development budget and open-source contribution support
  • Home office stipend / equipment allowance
  • Opportunity to work on leading open-source projects (Crossplane) and cutting-edge cloud infrastructure
