As a Staff Engineer on the NOVA Cloud team, you'll lead the architecture for our cloud platform, designing service boundaries, APIs, and plugin infrastructure.

- Evolve our Kubernetes-based infrastructure
- Experience in developing helm charts, GitOps
- Define how services communicate, authenticate, and scale
- Bring structure to complex technical problems and take others along with you
