MercariThis position does not have a Japanese job description available.
- Shared belief in Mercari's mission and values. - Senior-level engineering experience operating distributed systems in production at scale. - Deep understanding of Kubernetes internals - scheduler, controllers, kubelet, admission webhooks, autoscaler, network policy, workload identity - and production ownership of a managed Kubernetes environment (GKE, EKS, or AKS): cluster upgrades, incident debugging, add-on management. - Deep Terraform experience at scale - authoring custom modules, running blast-radius-aware migrations, refactoring shared IaC without breaking downstream consumers. - Strong system design and distributed systems fundamentals: consistency, replication, capacity planning, failure modes. - Track record of owning an infrastructure domain end-to-end: design, build, on-call, incident follow-through. - Professional working proficiency in English.
- Go for building k8s controllers, CLIs, and internal APIs. - Networking fundamentals - TCP/IP, Kubernetes networking (CNI, Services, ingress, network policy), DNS, HTTP/2, mTLS - enough to reason about incidents that cross the network boundary. - CI/CD platform experience (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar) - authoring workflows, custom actions, self-hosted runners. - Autoscaling / capacity-planning depth: HPA / VPA / Cluster Autoscaler internals, cost-aware autoscaling, right-sizing. - Experience building internal developer platforms - self-service tooling, golden paths, CLI / API ergonomics. - Multi-region or multi-cluster operational experience. - Exposure to Elasticsearch or other search infrastructure (helpful for cross-team collaboration, not required). - FinOps sensibility - understanding cloud spend drivers and how infra choices show up on the bill.
