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.
Key responsibilities: 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.
Interact with colleagues across projects to unblock issues, or to reach consensus on technical topics. In particular:
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...).

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.
Preferred qualifications: 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.
