Work closely with engineering, design, marketing and sales to publish release notes, iterate over documentation, improve customer onboarding, and create other customerfacing assets.
Youll synthesize feedback, weigh tradeoffs, make hard calls quickly, and move fast to get things shipped and adopted.
Drive open source and commercial success: Help define the balance between opencore features and paid product functionality, working with the founders and GTM leadership to drive maximum OSS traction without sacrificing the commercial success of the company.
Live and breathe Kubernetes: You understand the space inside outrelevant OSS technologies, multitenancy, RBAC, CRDs and controllers, networking, etcd, etc.and can talk deeply with platform teams.
Youve shipped selfhosted, enterprisegrade products used in private cloud and potentially even airgapped environments.
Understand OSS communities: You take ownership, cut through ambiguity, and push things over the finish line. You sweat the UX of the UI as much as the UX of the CLI and the underlying YAML specs. Bonus Points

Competitive Salary: We offer a competitive compensation package, including equity.
