.Who We Are: We believe that open-source software, open standards and APIs are the greatest transformational tools for organizations in the modern software development era. Our mission at Diagrid is to provide developers with APIs and tools that help them focus on their code and not on infrastructure. As online digital services need to handle more load and run on multiple clouds or on-premises environments, programming to higher level abstractions delivers consistent, secure and reliable code that is easily portable and helps organizations de-risk their projects. Diagrid is founded by the creators of theDapr and KEDA open-source projects, and who led the user experience, design and development of hyper-scale infrastructure cloud services, serverless platforms and open-source projects at Microsoft. We are backed by top VC firms and supported with industry leading investors and advisors including Joe Beda (Kubernetes Co-Founder, former Co-Founder / CTO at Heptio) Matt Klein (Creator of Envoy, Lyft), Mark Russinovich (CTO, Microsoft Azure), William Morgan (Creator of Linkerd, CEO Buoyant), Seth Vargo (Senior Staff Engineer, Google), Adam Gross (Former CEO, Heroku), Sri Viswanath (Former CTO, Atlassian), Adam Frankl (Dev Marketing Expert, Neo4J & JFrog), and Roopak Venkatakrishnan (Head of platforms, Bolt). Open Source at Diagrid At Diagrid, open source is at the very heart of our culture. We actively contribute to the Dapr open-source community, developing new features and maintaining key projects that drive our products. As Diagrid's Open Source Engineering Lead, you'll have the opportunity to lead a talented team responsible for driving major initiatives and ensuring the continued success and vitality of the Dapr open-source project, a key part of the CNCF ecosystem. Dapr simplifies the creation of distributed, cloud-native applications, particularly on Kubernetes, and is a cornerstone for developers building modern software. We're looking for someone who lives and breathes open source, cloud computing, and Kubernetes. If you have hands-on experience maintaining open-source projects, a passion for community-driven development, and a proven track record of leading high-performing engineering teams, this role is for you. About the Team We have a small talented team responsible for not only maintaining and building core functionality in Dapr, but also supporting our customers and product needs in open source. It means that team's objectives are balanced between the community and company needs, like supporting users via Discord or GitHub and providing patched images to our customers. The team has people in the U.S.A., U.K. and Portugal. #LI-Remote About the Role This role will be a player-coach engineering team lead. It is a unique role that combines hands-on technical expertise with leadership responsibilities
