Also see: https://www.reddit.com/r/openstack/comments/im11py/available_openstack_jobs/ for a detailed description of the vision as well as some Q/A about the position.

The architect position is a senior position, and we are looking for ~4-5y of experience running a production OpenStack cluster at scale. Pay is DoE, but figure 120k-150k USD/year before fringe. Would NOT require a move for the right candidate.

You would be working for a university on an OpenStack cluster focused on security research and education/training.

Other members of the team include the director (me), a buildmaster (someone who works on pipelines and writing tests/developing things to make the deployment more unique/useful) and a bunch of paid interns doing various things.

Job(s) are very low pressure, we do not do 24x7 ops (nor have any plans to do), so once you're off, you're off.

Looking for those who have the experience running OpenStack at scale with very bursty workloads (the APIs may be idle for days, and then they get asked to launch 1000 instances in an hour).

Head to https://careers.hprod.onehcm.usg.edu/psp/careers/CAREERS/HRMS/c/HRS_HRAM_FL.HRS_CG_SEARCH_FL.GBL?Page=HRS_APP_JBPST_FL&Action=U&FOCUS=Applicant&SiteId=12000&JobOpeningId=217726&PostingSeq=1 and follow the instructions there.

We are looking for a storage engineer to run a distributed team of 3-4 engineers, maintaining the storage infrastructure of a global cloud services provider.

If you decide to join us, you'll be working on several things:

• We run City Cloud, an OpenStack based global public cloud that covers 7 distributed data centers. 4 of those regions already run fully on Ceph; your team would be responsible for the maintenance and development of these Ceph clusters. This includes upgrades, performance tuning, and improving observability.
• The remaining public City Cloud regions are in the process of being migrated to Ceph; you and your team would take the lead in completing this migration.
• We also run two separate OpenStack based cloud environments for our Compliant Cloud customers; your team would be responsible for those Ceph clusters as well.

Your team's work is currently being handled by our existing engineering team. A deliberate effort to make that team less monolithic and more distributed is ongoing; your storage team will take over the Ceph agenda from the existing engineering team.

How's work at City Network?

We are a fast growing company both in terms of customers, revenue, and head count. This is all a good position to be in, but to be candid, just like any other company in that situation, we're not perfect. As a company, we strive to improve and perfect the structure of how we collaborate and communicate, but we're not quite where we want to be in that regard. (We do have to set a pretty high bar here for ourselves, given that our role in the market comes with a great deal of responsibility.) So, we are actively looking for people who come with an open mindset, a willingness to go the distance, and an eagerness to help us all get better. As is true for our customers, if you have specific technical expertise on an issue that another team of colleagues is working on, you should expect to be asked to contribute your knowledge to solving the problem — just as you will expect to get that same support from them, when you have an issue of your own to resolve.

What employment conditions apply?

This is a full time position, either in our Karlskrona HQ, Stockholm office or remote, with 6 weeks' vacation. We have a company policy that specifies a 6-month probation period.

We'd like to hear from you! And we have a few additional questions we would like to ask you. Some of those are about your existing skills and strengths, but if one of them happens to leave you stumped, don't fret! That's totally OK. We don't expect you to bring everything to the table, we'd just like to know what we should prioritize in training.
