Senior Cloud Software Engineer

Openchip is building exciting new RISC-V chips with HPC and AI acceleration. As a Senior Cloud Software Engineer, you will play a crucial role within our cloud team ensuring our chips can be orchestrated, observed, and managed from the cloud by delivering Kubernetes device plug-ins, exposing to observability stacks, and integrating with cloud hosted fleet management frameworks.

1. Make independent technical contributions to help their team deliver its commitments. In particular:

• Deliver Kubernetes Device Plug-ins and extensions to ensure our platforms and microservices running on them can be orchestrated and managed from the cloud.
• Implement workload placement methods to maximise the performance of Cloud and HPC workloads on our platforms.
• Deliver cloud observability of our platforms by integrating into popular frameworks (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, etc.) ensuring our platforms meet Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) needs.
• Integrate with popular Fleet Management frameworks for managing fleets of our platforms running in Kubernetes Clusters.
• Work with eco system partners to integrate into their stacks (RedHat OpenShift, Canonical Kubernetes, SUSE Rancher, etc.).
• Utilize cloud services (compute, storage, databases, networking, etc.) to build scalable applications. Develop APIs and integrations for cloud-based services.
• Develop, test and integrate on our pre-silicon (simulators, emulation, FPGAs) and silicon environments.
• Implement and manage continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for cloud applications.
• Collaborate with DevOps teams to automate deployment processes and manage releases.
• Ensure applications and infrastructure are secure, adhering to best practices for identity and access management, encryption, and data protection.
• Stay up to date with cloud security standards and compliance regulations.
• Document technical specifications and system architecture.
• Contribute upstream where appropriate.

• Work with hardware teams, influencing hardware/software co-design.
• Work with teams developing compilers, firmware, AI stacks, and middleware, and contribute as necessary.
• Collaborate with colleagues through code reviews, bug triaging, design documents,...
• Contribute to shared team responsibilities (CI failure triaging, documentation, code fixits, rotations...).

• Bachelor or Master's degree in a relevant field.
• Experience in the relevant field (3-5yr).
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, etc.).
• Experience with Kubernetes and Kubernetes device plug-ins.
• Experience with Docker.
• Experience delivering cloud-hosted microservices at scale.
• Strong knowledge of networking, databases, and distributed systems.
• Familiarity with IaC tools (Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, etc.).
• Experience with observability tools (ELK, Open Telemetry, InfluxDB, Prometheus, Grafana, AWS Cloud Watch, etc.).
• Experience with standard tools for source control (git), continuous integration, task management (Jira).
• Team player: communicative and collaborative person who focuses on the outcome of the team above the individual needs.
• Curious about learning new technologies/stacks.
• Capable of within- and cross-team collaboration at the technical level.
• Can-do attitude, proactive and willing to step up and resolve any obstacle. Self-aware, self-starter, and self-motivated.

• Experience with service meshs (ISTIO, Envoy, LinkerD, etc.).
• Experience with lightweight Kubernetes (K3s, K0s, MicroK8s, MiniKube, MicroShift, etc.).
• Experience with RISC-V development at the assembly-language level.
• Experience with GitOps (Cluster + Apps + Policies).
• Experience with Kubeflow.
• Experience with kernel and/or device driver development.
• Experience with emulators and simulators (Qemu, Gem5, Spike).
• Experience with hypervisor technology (KVM, Xen).
• Experience with open source software development.
