At Oxide, it’s our mission to love our customers: We recognize that our customers take a risk on us, and we love them for it. We work to deliver products that they will love in turn – and if and when our products fall short, our love for our customers trumps our own ego. Our customers depend on the integrations we build to successfully deploy, operate, and use Oxide. As our customer base grows, so does the surface of integrations we need to build and maintain. We’re seeking a solutions software engineer with deep experience in Go or Rust and broad experience with cloud native and on-premises infrastructure to own the integrations between Oxide and the third-party systems our customers rely on. As a Solutions Software Engineer working at Oxide, you will: Use your Go or Rust expertise to develop, document, and maintain seamless integrations with customer and third-party systems (e.g., SDKs, Kubernetes integrations, IaC plugins, OpenTelemetry components). Own integration issues from report to resolution, working directly with customers to understand their environment and unblock them, whether the root cause is in our code, a third-party system, or the interaction between them. Understand the use cases of current and prospective customers to discover new integration opportunities and propose enhancements to existing integrations. Collaborate with current and potential software partners (e.g., platform providers, application providers, service providers) to ensure their offerings work well on, and with, Oxide. Contribute changes to Oxide when a current or future integration requires it, providing a better customer experience and a strong foundation for future work. Run your own workloads on Oxide to learn the product, develop customer empathy, and provide feedback to shape the overall product roadmap. You will thrive in this role if you: Are comfortable context switching across different codebases, APIs, and ecosystems, often within the same day. Have broad experience with public cloud providers (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and on-premises infrastructure providers (e.g., VMware, Nutanix, Proxmox). Have deep experience with Kubernetes, including deploying and operating clusters and extending Kubernetes via controllers and plugins. Have demonstrated experience developing, extending, or integrating with container platforms (e.g., OpenShift, Rancher, Omni). Are experienced with infrastructure-as-code tooling, including building or contributing to providers and plugins (e.g., Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, Ansible). Have experience with enterprise storage and networking technologies (e.g., S3-compatible APIs, SMB, iSCSI, NVMe-oF, VPCs, HAProxy, MetalLB). Have worked with observability platforms and understand how to instrument systems for operators (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Honeycomb). Enjoy reading and writing technical documentation, tailoring it to the audience — whether that’s a customer, a teammate, or a future contributor. Are very comfortable at a Unix terminal. Don’t mind coworkers getting really excited about decades-old computers. Before applying for this role, you should: Listen to Solutions Software Engineering with Matthew Sanabria to learn about our approach to engineering the integrations that customers need. Watch the following Cloud Field Day presentations to understand the product, its value, and see a demonstration of the integrations built by fellow Solutions Software Engineers.
