We are looking for a Service Mesh Engineer to design, deploy, and operate service mesh platforms — primarily Istio and Linkerd — that provide secure, observable, and reliable service-to-service communication across our Kubernetes estate. The role focuses on platform engineering, mesh adoption, mTLS, traffic policy, and helping application teams reap the benefits of a mesh without paying for unnecessary complexity. The ideal candidate has operated service mesh in production, deeply understands Envoy and the data plane, and brings both platform engineering discipline and pragmatic adoption strategies.
Design and operate service mesh platforms — primarily Istio and Linkerd — across multi-cluster Kubernetes environments
Implement and operate mTLS, certificate rotation, and identity propagation across the mesh
Define traffic management policies including routing, retries, circuit breaking, and fault injection
Profile and optimize mesh performance, sidecar resource usage, and control-plane footprint, applying systematic measurement, targeted improvements, and data-driven validation to deliver quantifiable gains in throughput, latency, or resource efficiency
Develop paved-road adoption patterns and onboarding guides that make mesh adoption easy for app teams
Implement authorization policies and zero-trust patterns at the service mesh layer
Operate service mesh upgrades, control-plane lifecycle management, and configuration governance, applying disciplined release practices that keep the mesh current without disrupting workloads running on top of it
Partner with SRE, platform, and security teams on mesh policy and incident response
Troubleshoot complex networking, mTLS, and traffic issues spanning sidecar and gateway tiers
Maintain runbooks, architecture diagrams, and onboarding materials for the service mesh platform
Stay current with Istio, Linkerd, Cilium, and broader service mesh ecosystem developments
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field
Five or more years of experience in platform engineering, SRE, or networking roles
Hands-on experience operating Istio or Linkerd in production
Strong understanding of Envoy proxy internals and configuration
Deep Kubernetes expertise including networking, CNI, and ingress
Proficiency in Go or Python for tooling and automation
Strong troubleshooting skills across networking, application, and control plane layers
Experience with multi-cluster Istio or Linkerd deployments
Familiarity with Cilium service mesh and eBPF networking
Open-source contributions to service mesh projects
Exposure to zero-trust networking initiatives at enterprise scale
