Cloud Foundry Community Manager

The Cloud Foundry Foundation is seeking a community manager to help grow and support the global Cloud Foundry community.

Your experience has led you to embrace cloud-native application architecture and operations practices.  You seek to understand the wants, needs, and desires of developers and operations teams, and have empathy for their context as you’ve worked inside IT at global enterprises.  You have seen how difficult it is to change behavior at scale from monoliths and waterfalls to cloud-native and agile is hard, and you want to give the right cognitive tools to everyone who is driving this kind of change.

You love travel and enjoy speaking at events and meetups, demonstrating software, and teaching people your skills. In your experience there are few things as satisfying as seeing people “get it” when they are sharing their ideas and experiences about technology to solve problems.

You have written production code and lived with the results long after it shipped.  You know in your bones that engineers who carry pagers write better code.  You’ve had responsibility for building and managing production systems and empathize with IT ops professionals.

Finally, you value the power of a diverse human network to sustain and grow technology communities, and you help build lasting connections between people.  You look at a long-term, healthy global community of devs, ops and others as a meaningful legacy which you are profoundly motivated to build.  You believe that diversity of race, gender, sexual orientation, and life experience are all dimensions of a powerful community and will work to create strength through harmony.
