Emea - Engineering Enablement Specialist

**About vCluster Labs**:
We are a venture-backed tech startup striving to be the leading force in enabling platform engineers. We raised +$30M from top-tier VCs such as Khosla Ventures (first investor in OpenAI, GitLab, Stripe, Doordash) and are in a hyper-growth phase looking for motivated people to complement our team. Our headquarters are in San Francisco (Salesforce Tower), but our team is distributed around the globe and we have a **remote-first work culture**.

We're the company behind vCluster, an open-source technology for virtualizing Kubernetes (+10k GitHub stars). Open source is part of our DNA.

The adoption of our commercial product based on vCluster has grown extremely fast (multi-million dollar revenue) and our customer base includes some of the biggest companies in the world, including 6 Global Fortune 500 companies as well as some of the fastest-growing tech unicorns.

**The Role**

We’re building an Engineering Enablement function to help engineers—internal teams, external users, and customers—successfully understand and implement our highly technical Kubernetes infrastructure products. This isn’t a traditional technical writing role. We’re looking for people who’ve been in the trenches as Solutions Architects, DevOps, or Platform Engineers—who know real infrastructure inside out and enjoy making it clear and accessible for others.

As an Engineering Enablement Specialist, you’ll bridge the gap between complex infra (vCluster and vCluster Platform) and the teams who need to use it. You’ll create and maintain world-class technical documentation, and also get hands-on—deploying environments, supporting solution designs, and maintaining internal tooling.

**Key Responsibilities**
- Create technical documentation for vCluster focusing on real-world implementation scenarios
- Maintain and administer internal cloud infrastructure
- Build internal developer tools to improve documentation workflows and team velocity
- Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code for test environments
- Partner with engineering teams to understand technical concepts and translate them into clear documentation
- Test and validate all technical procedures in actual Kubernetes environments
- Maintain documentation-as-code workflows using Git-based processes
- Share knowledge and collaborate with team members on Kubernetes best practices

**Required Skills & Experience**
- **Kubernetes expertise**: Strong understanding of Kubernetes fundamentals—deployments, services, networking, and storage
- 2+ years hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production
- Experience documenting distributed systems or cloud-native architectures
- Documentation-as-code workflows and Git proficiency
- Basic ability to read code to understand implementation details
- Strong written communication skills

**What Makes You a Great Fit**
- You can navigate Kubernetes clusters, understand YAML manifests, and debug issues
- You can work with engineers to extract the information that matters
- You understand how teams adopt new infrastructure tools
- You test what you document—validating procedures actually work
- You know when to simplify without losing essential details
- You have opinions about documentation tooling and workflows

**Nice to Have**
- Experience with virtual Kubernetes clusters or namespace isolation concepts
- Proven ability to write clear technical documentation for engineering audiences
- Contributions to open-source documentation or technical blogs
- Experience with Terraform, Helm, or other infrastructure tooling
- Background in platform engineering, SRE, or developer advocacy roles
- Familiarity with CNCF ecosystem and cloud-native best practices
- Experience in fast-paced environments where documentation needs evolve quickly

**Benefits**:
We offer the following benefits:

- ** Competitive Salary**: We offer a competitive compensation package, including equity.
- ** Platinum-Level Insurance**: Health, dental, vision, and life Insurance, including plans for you and eligible dependents (benefits vary depending on country).
- ** Flexible Working Schedule**:You have a doctor’s appointment or need to head to the supermarket to get groceries at 2pm? We won’t have an issue with that. To us, results matter more than clocking in and out at the same time every day.
- ** Workplace Flexibility**: We’re very flexible about where you work. We know things can change in life and we’re happy to adjust the work environment for you along the way.

**Why join a startup like vCluster Labs?**:
Since we are a fast-moving startup, you will not be number 14,589 in our company but rather become an essential part of our team right from the start:

- ** Fast Application Process**:We will typically get back to you within a week. No need to polish your resume for us. Just send us some links (e.g. LinkedIn, etc.), answer a few questions about your previous experiences, and hop on a quick Zoom call with one of our team members to see if you’re a good fit.
