  • Demonstrable experience contributing to Open Source projects (ideally Ceph or Rook.io) and interacting with their communities in a leadership role. 

  • Experience with continuous integration and writing tests for your code. 

  • Ability to document and automate common tasks with a goal to automate everything. 

  • Ability to understand and resolve complex problems by developing enterprise-grade solutions. 

  • Experience with developing software for complex distributed systems.

  • Highly proficient in English (written and verbal). 

Nice to have: 

  • Master's degree in Computer Science (or equivalent) and 7+ years related work experience. 

  • Experience working in globally distributed teams. 

  • Experience with Ceph or other distributed storage solution. Experience with CephFS, DriveGroups, RGW, or Object Storage preferred. 

  • Experience with container orchestration engines; knowledge of Kubernetes would be a plus. 

  • Experience with Docker, Podman or other Linux-based container technologies. 

  • Experience with Configuration Management tooling (Salt, Ansible, Chef). 

  • Experience working directly with sales and assisting with both pre-sales presentations and post-sales guidance for customers. 

  • Experience with Cloud Computing (OpenStack, AWS, or Azure.) 

Our Offer: 

  • Direct contact with representatives of free/open source software projects worldwide. 

  • Regular hack weeks and opportunities to attend conferences and workshops. 

  • We offer a competitive package & employee benefit that are commensurate with candidate's experience and qualification
