- Working knowledge of cloud computing
- Excellent communications skills in the English language, both verbal and written, especially in online environments such as mailing lists and chat systems
- Ability to effectively interact with a diverse group of people (both technical and non-technical)
- Ability to be productive in a globally distributed team through self-discipline and self-motivation, delivering according to a schedule, and to motivate and mentor others to do the same

**Desirable skills and experience**:

- Python programming language experience
- Technical understanding of complex distributed systems
- Operational and/or development experience with Ceph
- Block and file subsystem experience within the Linux kernel
- Experience with storage performance analysis tools including fio, blktrace, perf, etc
- Delivery of scale-out service solutions
- Experience with private, edge, and/or telco cloud technologies (e.g. OpenStack, StarlingX, Airship, VMWare, HyperV, etc)
- Experience with container technologies (Docker, LXD, Kubernetes, DC/OS etc)
- Exposure to devops/system administration
- Experience working on a distributed team on an open source project - even if that is outside work open source contributions.
- Demonstrated track record of Open Source contributions
