- Proficiency in programming languages such as Java, Python, Scala, or Go is preferred. Experience with distributed computing and high-performance applications is also highly desired.
- Work across diverse environments: Hadoop, Kubernetes, Snowflake, Databricks, and multi-cloud platforms.

- Strong coding, debugging, and troubleshooting skills to resolve issues, enhance software applications, and ensure smooth deployment.
- Communicate effectively with senior leadership, presenting technical accomplishments and strategic insights.
- Strong ability to collaborate with internal teams, external contributors, and the broader open-source community.
Why Join Us

•Learning & growth: Solve problems across performance, reliability, cost, and cloud adoption.
•Flexibility: Cloud, hybrid, and on-prem - ODP is designed for today’s enterprise reality.
