  • Contribute actively to StarlingX, an open-source project under the Open Infrastructure Foundation - a fully featured cloud infrastructure software stack for the edge ().
  • Develop and deliver platform features with high quality design and code.
  • Build tooling that improves developer productivity, reduces SDLC friction, and makes engineering workflows more repeatable.

  • Plus: Experience with automation and platform tooling, including configuration management, deployment automation, artifact management, container registries, and image build pipelines.
  • Ability to work across multiple teams and drive issues to closure without needing constant direction.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with StarlingX, OpenStack, Kubernetes, or edge/cloud infrastructure platforms supporting distributed, carrier-grade, or mission-critical systems. 
  • Experience supporting source control and CI/CD modernization or migration efforts, pipeline conversion, runner strategy, repository governance, branching models, access controls, and developer enablement.
  • Experience improving observability and operational reliability through monitoring, alerting, dashboards, engineering metrics, troubleshooting workflows, and production-readiness practices.
