Our customers include leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors.

Our engineers are carefully selected from applicants globally, with a focus on brilliance and motivation to advance open source. Engineering managers help teams achieve more and feel proud of the results.

Engineering Managers should be outstanding developers who are comfortable reviewing patches or software design specs. They are trusted engineers who understand the importance of a whole-team effort in creating great products and who enjoy seeing colleagues develop. They should contribute code to set the standard, while recognizing that their influence on team direction, focus, and delivery is more significant than the code they write. We grow management skills and train engineers who are interested in soft skills to be managers.

A typical first-level software engineering team is based in a single time zone (e.g., EMEA, Americas, or APAC) with an Engineering Manager and a Senior Engineer dedicated to a single product, working together to shape the roadmap, technical strategy, code, documentation, and community engagement.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English
• A love of developing and growing people and a track record of it

We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognise outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus. We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.
