  • OpenStack Team: Delivering Charmed OpenStack, OVN/OVS, and Ceph, bringing cloud platform technologies to large-scale computing environments.

We seek system-level developers proficient in C/C++, Golang, Rust, and Python to work on security-critical, performance-oriented, and mission-critical code, emphasizing software delivery, containers, security, sandboxing, and application orchestration. Our teams are driven to make a significant impact on modern cloud computing technologies.
