Description

The world creates more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day! We want to help teams to store data in open source storage on commodity hardware - safely, cheaply and simply.
Our goal is to make Ceph easy to install, manage and use - from large enterprise data center installations to half-rack edge sites.
We believe that distributed storage shouldn’t be hard - and to keep up with the increasing data storage demands, it needs to be easier than ever before.
We have a range of tools to bring to bear on the problem, and we're excited to make distributed Ceph easy enough that everyone does it.

Technical leadership experience and a background in software engineering are necessary prerequisites for this role.
You will be expected to lead, challenge, and develop strong engineers, positively influence the culture, facilitate technical delivery, and work with your team on strategy and execution.

What you’ll do:

You will lead a team building a Ceph focused software defined storage solution
You will build and manage a globally distributed team of engineers
You’ll develop your team through coaching, mentoring and feedback

Set and manage expectations with other engineering teams and external stakeholders
Advance modern, agile software development practices

Work from home with global travel up to 20% for internal and external events

Requirements
