**About Us**:
MulticoreWare is a global software solutions & products company with its HQ in San Jose, CA, USA. With worldwide offices, it serves its clients and partners in North America, EMEA and APAC regions. Started by a group of researchers, MulticoreWare has grown to serve its clients and partners on HPC & Cloud computing, GPUs, Multicore & Multithread CPUS, DSPs, FPGAs and a variety of AI hardware accelerators.

MulticoreWare was founded by a team of researchers that wanted a better way to program for heterogeneous architectures. With the advent of GPUs and the increasing prevalence of multi-core, multi-architecture platforms, our clients were struggling with the difficulties of using these platforms efficiently.

We started as a boot-strapped services company and have since expanded our portfolio to span products and services related to compilers, machine learning, video codecs, image processing and augmented/virtual reality. Our hardware expertise has also expanded with our team; we now employ experts on HPC and Cloud Computing, GPUs, DSPs, FPGAs, and mobile and embedded platforms. We specialize in accelerating software and algorithms, so if your code targets a multi-core, heterogeneous platform, we can help.

**Role Overview**:
**Key Responsibilities***:

- ** Cloud Platform Architecture**
- Design and implement a scalable cloud platform covering compute, storage, and networking layers.
- Define architecture for **multi-cluster Kubernetes environments**, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security.
- Build core services such as **identity & access management, service discovery, observability, and API gateways**.
- ** Networking**
- Architect multi-tenant networking for VPC/VNet equivalents, load balancers, firewalls, and service meshes.
- Implement **SDN solutions (Calico, Cilium, OVN, etc.)** and network policy enforcement at scale.
- Optimize inter-cluster and inter-datacenter connectivity.
- ** Storage**
- Design and manage distributed storage solutions (Ceph, Rook, OpenEBS, MinIO, Lustre).
- Architect persistent storage for Kubernetes (CSI drivers, snapshots, backup/restore).
- Ensure data availability, durability, and compliance with SLAs.
- ** Kubernetes & Orchestration**
- Design **multi-tenant Kubernetes platforms** with advanced scheduling, security, and RBAC.
- Automate **provisioning, scaling, and upgrades** using operators, Helm, and GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux).
- Integrate with monitoring/logging (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK).
- ** Automation & Infrastructure-as-Code**
- Implement full stack automation with **Terraform, Ansible, or Pulumi**.
- Build self-service capabilities for internal teams.
- ** Security & Compliance**
- Design security at all layers (network, storage, workloads).
- Implement secrets management (Vault, External Secrets, KMS).
- Ensure compliance with data governance and regulatory requirements.
- ** Leadership**
- Collaborate with product and engineering teams to define roadmap and priorities.
- Mentor and guide platform engineers and DevOps teams.
- Evaluate new technologies and contribute to open-source where applicable.

**Required Skills & Experience***:

- ** Networking**: Deep knowledge of TCP/IP, routing, load balancing, DNS, SDN (Calico, Cilium, Istio/Linkerd).
- ** Storage**: Hands-on with distributed storage (Ceph, MinIO, Gluster, Rook) and Kubernetes storage orchestration (CSI).
- ** Kubernetes**: 5+ years experience, expert in multi-cluster deployments, operators, controllers, service mesh.
- ** Cloud & Infra**: Strong background in virtualization (KVM, VMware, OpenStack) and bare-metal automation (MAAS, Ironic, PXE, IPMI/Redfish).
- ** IaC & Automation**: Proficiency in Terraform, Ansible, GitOps tools (ArgoCD, Flux).
- ** CI/CD**: Experience with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD.
- ** Programming/Scripting**: Proficiency in Go, Python, or Bash.
- ** Monitoring/Observability**: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK, Jaeger.
- Strong knowledge of **distributed systems, high availability, and fault tolerance**.

**Preferred Qualifications***:

- Experience designing cloud platforms at scale (e.g., internal private cloud, hyperscaler background).
- Contributions to open-source Kubernetes ecosystem (CNCF projects).
- Familiarity with **service billing, quota management, and multi-tenancy at scale**.
- Exposure to **bare-metal cloud orchestration (Metal3, Tinkerbell, Equinix Metal, Ironic)**.
- Strong leadership and architectural decision-making skills.
