- Proven track record of making significant contributions to open-source projects, including submitting patches, reviewing contributions, and interacting with the community.
- Strong ability to collaborate with internal teams, external contributors, and the wider open-source community.
- Experience deploying and managing open-source solutions in both cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) and on-premise environments.
- Actively address bug reports, security vulnerabilities, and contribute to project maintenance, ensuring that software remains up-to-date with the latest standards.
