The world runs on open source, and projects need more than a version or source control system to scale. The Linux Foundation has evolved a proven methodology to transform projects into category leaders. LFX operationalizes this approach, providing a suite of tools built to facilitate every aspect of open source development. Critical projects must have their finger on the pulse of their entire developer ecosystem, with tools tailored to key stakeholders driving project development, including maintainers, contributors, community managers, marketers, and more.

The Linux Foundation Cloud Operations team is looking for a Senior Cloud Operations Engineer to improve and expand the infrastructure we provide to our growing number of LFX products and Open Source projects. They will be focused on automating infrastructure management, by migrating infrastructure to code, using cloud-native tools, and building scalable cloud infrastructure. Aspects of this role are customer-facing and will include support requests from the project community, with a focus on process management, automation, and helping us streamline request management. They will also participate in a “follow-the-sun” on-call rotation.

This contractor role can be located anywhere in a US Timezone.
