What’s this team like at Etsy?
The Core Kubernetes team works closely with many teams across Etsy, helping them build, deploy, release and observe applications transparently on Google Kubernetes Engine. They work on 15+ Kubernetes clusters with hundreds of nodes running services with low latency requirements. They build and support the CI/CD platform (Buildkite) used by more than a few hundred engineers to deploy their workloads to GKE.This team also standardizes cluster and application security with Gatekeeper admission policies and container vulnerability scanning, as well as SLI/O creation for all services across Kubernetes Platform.
Here’s a sneak peek into our Roadmap for the next year:
Enable service mesh across GKE and enable a native way of accessing services across the stack.
Standardizing cluster and application security with Gatekeeper admission policies and container vulnerability scanning (both during build and run time)
Standardize SLI/O creation for all services across Kubernetes Platform
What does the day-to-day look like?
Coordinate GKE clusters and automate operations like provisioning and service observability.
Support the partner teams running their workloads on the Kubernetes Platform.
Collaborate with multi-functional engineering teams to improve the adoption of Kubernetes and increase efficiency.
Build paved paths for wider product engineering with codelabs, documentation, automation and self-service portals to develop, deploy and operate services on GKE.
Participate in an on-call rotation and seek opportunities for reducing toil and avoiding technical debt to reduce support and operations load on the team.
Of course, this is just a sample of the kinds of work this role will require! You should assume that your role will encompass other tasks, too, and that your job duties and responsibilities may change from time to time at Etsy's discretion, or otherwise applicable with local law.
