Responsibilities:

  • Mentor junior developers, sharing your expertise and experience to help them grow professionally.
  • Leverage your expertise in AI, AI Agents, distributed systems, APIs, and AI-native architectures to make the best decisions on code and systems architectures.
  • Actively engage with open source communities to cultivate strong relationships, address technical challenges, and champion the adoption of our software solutions.
  • Partner with internal development teams to ensure the seamless integration of open source contributions into our products and services.
  • Maintain exemplary standards for all open source contributions, ensuring adherence to best practices in testing, documentation, and long-term maintainability.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years in software development with significant experience in Python, Golang, and/or Rust.
  • Passion to thrive in a fast-paced, fluid environment.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot complex issues.
  • Experience and understanding of how to leverage AI-powered co-development tools such as Cursor IDE, Claude Code, Cline, Aider.Chat or similar.
  • Strong understanding of open source best practices, including code quality, testing, and documentation.
  • Bring a deep understanding of scale-out AI-native architectures such as parallel computing (e.g., goroutines), event-based distributed systems, GPU clusters, and agentic workflows.

  • CSI (Container Storage Interface): Understanding of storage orchestration and management in Kubernetes using CSI drivers, particularly with Ceph.
  • Telemetry: Experience with monitoring and observability tools to collect and analyze telemetry data from Kubernetes clusters, preferably with Prometheus and Grafana.
  • Strong interpersonal, communication and collaboration skills.
  • Exceptional problem-solving capabilities with proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues.
  • Participation in open source projects as a contributor or maintainer is highly desirable.
  • Extensive experience developing Kubernetes operators and leveraging Kubernetes client libraries.
  • Comprehensive understanding of AI infrastructure components: inference systems, Agentic workflows, autonomous AI agents, Model Context Protocol (MCP), serverless AI functions, and related technologies.
  • Polyglot with little or no bias for specific programming languages.

Benefits:

  • Work with an established Silicon Valley leader in the cloud infrastructure industry.
  • Work with exceptionally passionate, talented and engaging colleagues, helping Fortune 500 and Global 2000 customers implement next-generation cloud technologies.
  • Be a part of cutting-edge, open-source innovation.
