 All right, thank you for joining us and welcome to Open InfraLive. The Open Infra Foundations, only weekly show. And we are doing this every single week at 1400 UTC. And today we are excited to talk about jobs. And this show is something that, you know, we put together earlier this year. And it's been incredible that the response we've seen thousands of people every week watching each of these episodes. So the community has really turned out with ideas and participation. And everyone has been joining and asking questions. So feel free to do that throughout the show today. Comments, questions, let us know where you're joining from, et cetera. It's really exciting to see how global the participation is from around the community. And today on the show, before we jump in to bring in the guests, I wanted to start with a little bit of breaking news. So in the hottest news off the presses for Open Infra these days, we just learned this week that Microsoft is joining the Open Infra Foundation as a Platinum member. So thank you to Microsoft. And really, I think this is just an amazing reflection of all the work everyone of you have done in the community for many years working on open source projects that really matter for infrastructure and seeing Microsoft come in as a Platinum member, I think really reflects well on everybody's work for many years. And Ryan Van Wick, who's been involved in OpenStack and Airship and other parts of our community for a long time, has a nice quote here about why this is important to the next decade of Open Infra that we are embarking on together as the Open Infra Foundation. So hopefully others of you, if you aren't already members or involved, we'll learn more about it today and get involved. So with that, I actually want to talk about today's episode and our main topic. This is round two of our jobs episode. So one of the amazing things about open source is that you can participate and anyone anywhere in the world can participate and you can even get paid to do it. So today we're talking about jobs in open source. And so I want to bring in our panelists and have everybody introduce themselves. So welcome everybody to Open Infra Live. And so first I'll go to Titus. Why don't you introduce yourself? Thank you, Mark. Hello everyone. This is Titus Kurek. I'm a product manager at Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu. And I'm mostly focused on the data center part of our business, including Ubuntu Server and OpenStack. I've been involved in OpenStack since the Grizzly release. So I've seen a lot of iterations moving forward. That's great. Thank you for being on the show and for being involved since Grizzly. That's many, many releases for those of you who haven't been following along with the crazy pace of OpenStack. So next let's go to Suresh. Can you introduce yourself? Yeah, hi. Thank you, Mark. I'm Suresh. I'm based here in Portland, Oregon. I'm a senior principal engineer at Intel. And these days I'm focusing on cloud software. And that includes a lot of infrastructure, everything from the orchestration layer to the networking layer to runtime execution in the pod. So happy to be here. Great, great. So Suresh from Intel and Titus from Canonical. Now we're going to go to Ken. Hey, thanks, Mark. Ken Savage. I am the North America infrastructure practice lead for Red Hat. I came to Red Hat from Rackspace actually after nine years at Rackspace. So I've been kind of involved with all the infrastructure stuff for quite some time. I also lead a group of sort of elite OpenStack hackers at Red Hat as well. And happy to be here. Well, I spent a little time at Rackspace myself. So good to hear your background there. And Ken from Vexos, why don't you introduce yourself? Hi, I'm Ken Nasser from Vexos. I'm the business development director here at Vexos. And that we're an infrastructure as a service provider with public clouds in North America and Europe. And we also deploy private clouds for companies a little bit all over the world at this point. Great. Wonderful. Well, thank you all for joining us. As I said, Open Source is all about participation. And if you can participate and get paid, all the better, right? And so today we're going to get to know each of you and a little bit about your backgrounds and your companies. And then after the discussion for a bit, we will go into letting each of you share your current job openings. And hopefully everybody out there in the audience will get involved, post questions, comments, let us know where you're joining from from around the world. And we'll try to get the audience involved as we go. And so with that, let me start with the first question, which was how did you get involved in Open Source personally? And why don't we go to Suresh for that one? Thanks, Mark. Great question. So I got involved by just starting to participate in the community. So I initially opened some issues, right? Which I thought were important that led to a lot of discussions. And then I suggested that I could make some core contributions, right? And people encouraged that. And I started to write some PRs. And then there was lots of feedback. I didn't quite anticipate all the details of the feedback. And I'm quite amazed at how much people take the time to do all those things. And that's kind of how I got started is just starting in the community, right? And opening some things up in the community, see what engagement people kind of got, and then being able to make some actual kind of core contributions. And one of the things about Open Source that I really kind of enjoyed was these conferences provide you an opportunity to get started, right? So it could be getting started on a simple kind of like issue, which may be a test kind of like bug, something that might only take you half an hour. So communities are very welcoming. So I encourage everyone to start small and then you can keep growing. That's great. Yeah, I think that's very good advice. And it brings to mind actually that the Outreachy program, we have been a big supporter of that at the Open Infra Foundation for many years and some incredible talented folks have gotten their start at Open Source through that program. And some of those interns or ex interns are working in the community now and some of them may be tuning in. So let's make sure that we support that effort. So next question I wanted to ask was really about your company's culture. What are the people out there that may be trying to decide where to apply or who to follow up with? And Titas, why don't we go to you and ask kind of what's unique about Canonical's culture? Absolutely. So at Canonical we believe that talent is distributed equally across the entire world, right? And this kind of impacts our culture in terms of jobs and hiring and how we structure the company, right? So what's unique about Canonical is that we actually don't have like big offices where people come and work like from the office, but most of our employees are distributed across the entire world, right? And most of us work from home. I am actually working from home at the moment, which is great opportunity, right? We obviously have our headquarters in London and a couple of satellite offices, but we have employees from more than 50 countries. They're mostly working from home, and we're just meeting on regular basis for sprints or various other internal events. COVID has slightly impacted that, but we hope we're going to get back to traveling soon. That's great. And I think, you know, this is such an important question that I might actually ask everybody to answer it. So get ready. But I don't know if, Hind, would you like to jump in and talk a little bit about Vexhost and kind of the company culture? So I think this is something people really want to know more about. Absolutely. So at Vexhost, our entire infrastructure stack is based on open source tools. So we take a lot from these communities. That's why we feel like it's super, super important for us to be giving back. And there's a few ways that we do this. There's a few ways that you could be doing this if you were to join the Vexhost team. So I think the most important one is contributing code back. At Vexhost, we don't do things locally. Any changes, bug fixes, features that we feel could benefit either us or our clients. We try to push that upstream to help the entire community. Things like volunteering our time to have different roles within different communities. So whether it's project team leads or helping out someone who needs help, we feel, again, super important that that's something that we need to do. As well as, like you were saying earlier, the different events, we really enjoy attending these events, but we feel like these are, this is a great way for us to contribute back to the community. So if you're part of the technical team and there is a tool that you use and are super passionate about, or you have a lot of knowledge about, and you feel like you want to give talks and share your knowledge with the team, with the rest of the community, that's something that we are huge advocates of and we like to do here at Vexhost. That's great. And you mentioned that the project team leads. So for those of you who are not really immersed in OpenStack, those are very important elected positions within each of the sub-components or projects within OpenStack. And the other projects within the OpenInfo foundation have similar concepts. And so that elected leadership is really earned through community engagement. And at the same time, it's really important that employers really support those people in those roles because those are very important. And so having employers saying, yeah, we're going to let you put a lot of your time into that, that kind of work really benefits the community. And so I think maybe I'll go to Ken next. Suresh, maybe reconnecting here. So Ken, what would you say is, you know, kind of unique about your company culture over at Red Hat? Well, that's a good question. I think, you know, ultimately, you know, Red Hat has been around, you know, has been open for about 28 years now. And it kind of really permeates the culture. Always has. At Red Hat, you don't really, there's not really a concept of, oh, you're now going to go work on open source stuff. Because it's such ingrained. It's so ingrained in everything that we do. That it's just part of everything. It's a true meritocracy as well. And that the best part of it is that it's so ingrained in everything that we do. That it's so ingrained as well. And that the best ideas always win. And I think that, you know, at the end of the day, this is the way the company was designed, the way it started, and the way that it'll always continue to be. Awesome. Well, let's go to Suresh. I think he's, he's rejoined us. What's unique about your company culture at Intel? Yeah, thank you, Mark. Sorry, I had to drop. Distinguishes Intel is innovation is very much in our, in, in, in our culture. And there's a lot of opportunities provided for, for innovation. Right. So engineers have the opportunity to take like an idea from like a concept to an open source project. So one I would like to highlight is that's part of open infra is a project called Cata containers that provides you secure containers. And so this is an idea that then engineer kind of like had at a, at a conference. Right. And then there was sort of support in the company to be able to bring that project and, and, and Intel is also very another aspect of our culture is there's a lot of decisions that are driven through data. So everything is kind of so data, data driven and open source is a key ingredient that enables all our silicon to have the magic that, that everyone is able to create on top of it. That's, that's great. And, you know, a couple of things that just, just jumped out at me. First of all, Cata containers is a super exciting project. And we have had past episodes. You can go back and find those on YouTube and rewatch them about Cata containers. And I'm sure we'll have future episodes, but really cool project for secure and, and performance containers with lightweight virtualization. I'm oversimplifying. It's a very, very awesome project, but it's great to see Intel hiring, employing, investing in engineers that make that particular project successful within the open infra landscape. And the other thing I just wanted to acknowledge is we have such an incredibly diverse community that's joining graphically from all over the world and people have been popping into the chat on the live stream and talking about where they're from. So welcome, welcome. Whether it's a good morning, good evening or good night, wherever you are. This is the amazing thing to me about, about open source and open infrastructure. So that just gets me excited, but let me get back to my questions. Get back on track for just a moment. So how about this for Ken? You know, is there something about, I think it's no surprise that open source red hat. I think people know that that's not, not going to shock anybody. It's a great thing to have associated with your company business. There's something that would surprise people that they might not know about red hat. Ken. Oh boy. So I was going to say actually that all of our code is open. That always has been. I don't, I think a lot of people are shocked to know that because they, the concept of everything being open is kind of strange. You know, I guess that's the only thing I can think of at the moment. Okay. Sorry. I guess maybe I'm just been in open source so long that, that it's not a surprise to me, but I think that you're absolutely right that, that in fact, there probably are many, many people out there that just assume, okay, here's a company that's, that's out there being financially successful and having customers and, and revenue and everybody's, you know, buying the products and everything that, okay, therefore there must be some, some hidden secret, you know, what's the thing that's not open source. And so it's probably a good reminder for me that, yeah, not everybody actually does, does know that. So sorry if I messed up your, your answer there with my being involved too long. I've been, I've been in the, in the open source world so long. I've forgotten there's stuff out there, you know, that I saw a stat recently that 99% of all code is stuff some open source in them. So it's crazy how things have changed over the years, but 28 years of Red Hat doing that is, is certainly not the norm out there. So, so thank you for, for answering that one. So here's another question that we had come in, which was, you know, talk about maybe one of the more innovative projects that's going on at your, at your company right now. And, and we'll see if maybe we go to Suresh on this one. Yeah. Thank you, Mark. So innovation is very important to, to Intel. And as Mark was talking about Carta containers, we've been continuing to innovate in that, in that area. We have a project which is, which is cloud hypervisor, which is even more lighter, lighter weight ability to, to run things like function as a service and, and other kinds of things very securely and fast. So that's an open source project you can kind of check out. And in, at Intel overall, there's a lot of other innovation that's kind of going on, one that your audience might be interested in is, we just announced at the Intel Architecture Day, something called IPUs, which is infrastructure processing unit, right? And they allow you to accelerate part of the infrastructure so that the customer does not have to take on the cycles for executing infrastructure. So that's a new project and it should be releasing soon. And I think we'll need a lot of help from everyone to, to take advantage of it so that the customers are benefiting. Yeah, that's really interesting. I've been trying to follow along with, with all the things happening in the hardware world that impact the software and vice versa. And there's such a rich set of, you know, innovations going on there that I don't think people would have predicted 10 years ago and we thought cloud was going to play out a certain way. And now you see, you know, new forms of processing units coming on, on the scene that are optimized because that's how big cloud edge is now as a market. It's actually influencing the hardware, not just the software and they work in concert. So on this note of, you know, innovative stuff that's happening at different, different companies, why don't we go to Tidas? Do you want to share some light on Canonical's work in this, this kind of area? Sure. So I think that's a very important question for everyone applying for jobs in open source. And the first thing I want to say is that Canonical is just one big R&D company as most of the companies that are here on this call, by the way. So everything we are doing is innovative and is exciting and if it was not, I wouldn't be there, right? But if I was about to choose like the most interesting project, one thing that we've been working for a while and we committed to continue working moving forward is that when it comes to open source, we don't see a challenge anymore in terms of, you know, how the open source software is available, how is it packaged, how we can get it installed. We managed to figure that out, right? With various Linux distributions and so on. The challenge we see, though, is how do you operate the software once you actually install it? What about your day two operations? How do you integrate it? How do you upgrade it? And there's been a very interesting concept that was mostly dominant in the Kubernetes space for now, which is the concept of operators. So a software that basically encapsulates the operations code for another software. And we are really willing and committing to leverage this concept and we are building a portfolio of operators for the most popular open source applications. And a lot of the engineering time we are running is on creating those operators. So if this is something you would be willing to work on, then I guess we would love you to welcome on the board. Great. Well, that's awesome. And I think this question, probably a good one for anyone else that wants to jump in. Ken, do you have something you want to jump in on this one? Yeah, I think in terms of innovation, you know, Red Hat recently announced that we are building an automotive Linux distribution. And I think that's a pretty innovative product. I think it's going to be. They also made some comments about it being eventually something that would go into manufacturing as well. So I think that's a really cool project to be part of. And there's a lot of really cutting edge stuff in that. And that's really interesting, you know, in talking with lots of companies all around the world that are using open source, you know, for infrastructure, I think one of the biggest trends we've seen is just that particular kind of whether you call it industrial industrial IoT or the automotive space just manufacturing. Some people call it industry 4.0. I'm kind of throwing a lot of buzzwords at everybody at once here, but it does seem like that is an area where innovation is going on and kind of open source is being looked to for that innovation. And anytime we see kind of giant massive industries like that around the world turning to open source, of course we're always excited about that. So there was a question that came in from the chat and so I'm just going to mention it here and we can bring it up on screen hopefully, but I think someone was asking about they said most open source jobs are located in America or Europe and don't accept applicants from the Asia Pacific or APAC region despite being remote. So does anybody want to I don't have anybody in mind here, but I believe that many of you do hire have had employees in Asia Pacific. Does anybody want to jump in and answer this one? Yeah, I can, you know, for Red Hat's part, you know, we have quite a few folks in APAC. We have offices in APAC and we absolutely do hire an APAC for sure. Good. Intel too, so we have lots of opportunities. In fact, a lot of our open stack developers are in APAC and we have lots of opportunities in APAC for open source efforts. But as people find the specific kind of requirements on the job portal, so requisitions are tied to locations and some requisitions will say that they are fully remote, right? And those are opportunities that people anywhere in the world can apply for. Yeah, that's great. And I think that first of all, I appreciate that everyone who is tuned in live and for questions. I'm sure that that is frustrating at times when you see companies, you know, post a remote job and it actually doesn't, you know, you're not necessarily fitting the requirements if you're in Asia-Pacific region. I think one of the great things about open source and open stack with Kata and a lot of these projects that we're working on is these are truly global communities and the companies that hire for positions, many of them really do hire anywhere in the world. I mean, we have 110,000 individual members of the Open Infra Foundation in over 180 countries and but it's a good reminder that that's not the way the whole world works. As I said earlier, I've been in this so long I probably have blinders on a little bit to not realizing, you know, just how unusual that is in open source, open stack being you know, the exception but hopefully over time more of the world will work like that. That's, I would say, you know, distributing the future more evenly every day. That's why I work on the stuff. So let me get back on track off my soapbox if I can here. So let's see some of the other questions that we had what are the kinds of skills that are important or necessary to succeed in your company and why don't we go to Titus for this one? Sure, absolutely. So at Canonical we are looking for people who are passionate and talented and really want to work on the projects they get assigned. So we appreciate passion more than the actual skills and when it comes to certifications and learning, we believe people can quickly get up to speed and if there are any gaps on their side like in terms of skills, they can quickly fill in those gaps. So what we curb most is whether they are passionate about the technology about open source and whether they are really willing to work at Canonical and move the projects forward. That's what we're looking for. Okay, great. So does anybody else want to jump on this one or should I go to the next question? Mark, I can jump on this one too. Go ahead, Suresh. Yeah. So I think the aspect of innovation continues to be very key and could you remind me the original question again, Mark? What are the kinds of skills that are important or necessary to succeed in your company? Yeah. So there are basically three aspects that I would say are very important. One is if you are participating in a community to get recognized in the community, to be recognized either as a committer in the community to get recognized as a steering committee member or something like that. That's one aspect which is more external facing. And then the one that is internal facing is to be able to get a good understanding of what is the hardware and what is the product. Intel is a manufacturing company that makes a lot of hardware and our software enables that hardware to shine. And then the third aspect which is very critical to success is to be able to often hear from customers about their problems and about their pain points is to be able to address those pain points. And very often they will want some solution that has been sort of upstreamed into a particular kind of like community. And so doing those external community facing internal hardware and then external customer. All those three things are really critical. Good. Thank you. And Ken, do you want to jump in on this as well? Sure. Yeah. I think, you know, ultimately at Red Hat it really just takes, it's about passion. There is, you know, the basis of experience that you've got to have with whatever, you know, role you're going to go into. But at the end of the day we want everyone to be passionate about their work willing to learn. We have a really robust internal programs for learning and, you know, all of our associates at Red Hat take advantage of that. So, you know, I'd echo a lot of what Tita said, you know, it's just, it's more about, you know, do you love what you're doing? Are you passionate about it? And are you willing to collaborate to the end of the world, right? I love it. I once did a keynote called Collaborator Die, which might be a little overhyped, but, you know, we believe in collaboration. So I think it is really important and I love seeing the common threads here across all the companies. I think, you know, collaboration, culture, passion, just really believing in these projects. You know, I think I know I keep talking about the magic of open source, but it really does bring together people that are working on a common mission at many, many different companies and countries and I think it's one of the things that's really awesome. And I think in terms of, you know, how we do come together in the face of adversity, this kind of brings me to my next question, which is about COVID, right? This is, we'd be remiss if we didn't acknowledge that this has been a very hard 2020. Are we still in 2020? I don't know, but it's been a hard year and a half. It's been a long experience, keeps going. So, Hen, why don't we go to you on this one? So kind of how has COVID impacted your teams and your company? So before COVID, our remote versus not remote teams were pretty split. So anyone who was working on the technical side engineers, they were all spread a little all over the world. They've always had the task to work from home. But everyone else, so in terms of marketing, sales management, we had remote, sorry, in-person offices in Montreal, Canada, which we love. And there was always this debate whether working from home is better or working at the office and getting to see your colleagues. And then once COVID hit, we had no chance to actually start working from home for everyone. And that's when we realized it's, there's so many more advantages to working from home. So we actually, a few months ago decided that we're going to be a remote only company. And that was to actually expand the pool of people we could start working with and personally over the last year, I've had the chance to work with people on my team that without the remote, I would not have had the chance to work with. There's so much talent around the world. And I guess the silver lining of this is that we got to hire more people from around the world and get to work with the different people from around the world. Thank you. That's a great answer. And I think that it is important to see the silver linings and it certainly has kind of forced, I would say, many, many companies pretty much out there in the whole tech landscape to, they weren't remote first, they had to learn it in a hurry. So I think that there are definitely silver linings to that. So I've got a couple more questions, but does anyone else want to address that one or should I jump on? I can address it. For my team, my direct team, we were all remote already as Red Hat has a lot of remote associates and but it has kind of forced the issue on some things in some ways it's been more it's been easier for us to collaborate on projects with customers because we all can just kind of virtually go in and do it as opposed to flying there and dealing with the logistics of being in person and everything. But it's also kind of, we've also had to work very hard at trying to have some kind of normalcy. One of the things that my team does is that we have a happy hour every Friday at the end of the day which kind of gives us some sense of normalcy in these crazy times that we're in. Good. Well, yeah, Tidas. Yeah, I'd like to jump into this one if I can Mark as well. Please, please do. I'd say it can be called the same as for Red Hat for example. I think we are very well set for COVID as we all most remote. So most of our employees are working from home as I said at the beginning. So this did not really impact us but I think it created a culture so that as we were meeting on regular basis still since we are traveling for some internal events. So many times like our culture was like let's figure it out once we meet in person. Now we know we have to solve things because we don't know where are we going to meet. I think it impacted our culture slightly but in a very positive way. And obviously we can't wait until travels are getting back again so that we could see each other hopefully next year. Yeah, that's great and I think it certainly has impacted from the foundation community organizing standpoint we haven't been able to have in person summits which has been the hallmark of our communities ultimate getting together face to face and we've had 20 some odd summits and we've not been able to be in person for a bit and we're hoping that if everything goes well we'll be able to do that again next year but it impacts you know cross companies, cross communities in all those ways as well we would traditionally be getting back together. So one of the questions that came in from chat was about where somebody might get started if they don't already have open source experience and I think that Suresh, I might throw this one to you simply because you kind of mentioned earlier how you got started in open source but if anybody else wants to jump in yeah no I think there's a great question and one I think a lot of people have some fear about right and so I so I didn't tell as some of the other companies have also been kind of like mentioning the specific skill of like being a top committer on an open source project is not a requirement right we also hire a lot of recent college graduates who very often we see in the college curriculum they don't really have this aspect of open source or doing things in the community so that's kind of not really a requirement and I think in terms of to get started I would definitely start with like something that's kind of very easy you can always like fix like a documentation issue right you can start from there or you can build a test out or you can take like an open issue right and say that hey I kind of want to support this right these are all things that you can kind of do but start with something that's kind of very easy and then also some communities have some office hours and other kinds of like times where they're all mentors might be available and you can actually get some support from some community members on the area that you're looking to go into. So one last question I'll throw this one to Ken and then we can actually talk about the job openings of every company hopefully all of you want to get the word out and everybody in the audience wants to know what you're hiring for I think they've got a lot of people tune in for that but last question before we go to the slides with the postings I'll ask Ken so how important are certifications and training to open source positions? You know I don't think they're that important I think that it's it's good to have when I hire folks I don't look at how many acronyms they have on their resume though so it's great to have them it depends on what the role is but again you know experience it trumps certifications for sure in my mind and just you know I like there's so many different ones some of them you see them in resumes and you're like what I don't even know what that is I gotta look it up so I think I'd say at the end of the day it's good to have them but not a requirement. Great I love that answer I think and it kind of marries well appears well it's a rest set about if you're trying to get started like look at the documentation fix a small you know typo fix anything that helps you learn kind of the tool tool chains and how the community operates you don't have to jump in the deep end as far as something super technical it can simply be just getting yourself familiar with community and having the community kind of know who you are and there are a lot of things you can start with basic issues to kind of get your feet wet and I think that's a great way to get started and often times you build that experience up and it may actually be more important than you know how many acronyms you have on your resume and so I like that answer so now we're actually going to tell you who is hiring and what they're hiring for so we're going to start with Tidus and who we've got some slides and so Tidus why don't we throw it to you and tell us what's going on at Canonical with your job openings Absolutely thank you Mark so let's get started so if you are still wondering why you should join Canonical let me just briefly recap what we've been basically talking about what I've been talking about here for a while right so first of all Canonical equals to open source like everything we do is open source and all the projects we are driving are 100% open source so if you want to work in an open source company we're that company basically right we work on a variety of cutting edge technologies including Cata containers as well in our case distribution operators IoT basically everything from public cloud to the edge so there is a variety of job openings I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find something that matches the best for your skills and if you want them we're happy to help you on that path as well you'll have an opportunity to work with great and talented people like basically everyone who works at Canonical says people here are great so there must be something in it right like if everyone is saying that then that's probably true since we're not a very big company we have a pretty cloud organizational structure so if you have some very interesting ideas in the open source space if you'd like to bring them to the product team or even to the CEO you'll get this opportunity I think this is unique about us as well we give our employees a lot of freedom in the workspace we're not micromanaging them we all work from home I think 95% of our employees work from home so this is also an amazing opportunity if you don't want to

the open and for live for this opportunity so I'm Suresh Rinivas I'm a senior principal engineer at Intel and a lot of people think of Intel as a hardware company so I kind of want to talk a little bit about how software is a very critical part of Intel's success so we have 15,000 or so software engineers and we lead a lot of open source projects and contribute in meaningful ways in these open source projects and we also work on a lot of innovative use cases where the Intel software or sometimes engineered with the customer or produced in the open source is able to unleash some aspect of the hardware and innovation so you can learn more about software you can follow the twitter link and get more information about software so let's go to the next slide the next slide yeah okay so at Intel we have opportunity to do meaningful work because a lot of us spend time at work so whatever is your passion and whatever brings you more impact and joy you're able to contribute then we also provide world class benefits with employees being able to participate in stock purchase plan and we have some outstanding benefits with even things like community matching to nonprofits of your choice and Intel engineers are always looking at supporting the community in various ways and it's a very inspiring culture and having a global impact and diversity and inclusion is also a critical part of both our culture and our future future goals Intel has set some very ambitious goals to have diversity and inclusion kind of up and down our entire hierarchy in a few years right so we are not quite there I think we've been making really good progress so if these things are kind of interesting to you you can look at open positions that are available we have positions and across all the different geographies in the US and in UK in PRC in India and Ireland and Finland so lots of different places and the specific team that I am part of I have not listed the specific open source positions that are there but you can send me a note and I'll help you navigate that through if other jobs are looking a little overwhelming so we do a lot of work in cloud software but if there are things that you are interested in AI or in IoT or in other sort of like technologies like client in the browser so there are opportunities across the entire board thank you again Mark for the opportunity. Thank you Suresh, Intel there are thousands of open source jobs and employees working on open source so I think we want to go next to Ken, welcome him back on the show to talk about the openings at Red Hat take it away Ken. Thanks Mark, appreciate the opportunity too. So our main job site for Red Hat is jobs.redhat.com you can find out a lot about what we have open source it's a great product everything that you can possibly think of it's a great site and has a really robust search engines next slide please as I mentioned Red Hat has 28 years of disruption in terms of open source it is at the core of what we do the company was born from open source everything that we do on our day to day is geared toward that open framework our associates to really exchange their viewpoints and contribute and solve problems together our core values our connection trust transparency collaboration and meritocracy and we really believe in these fundamentally so I thought I'd highlight a few open infrastructure positions I've put in some links as well as QR codes you can point your phone at those to go directly to them on our job site this first position is US remote this is actually on my team and it's for the cloud infrastructure Tiger team and as I mentioned it's an elite team of open stack hackers that go in and provide solutions for our customers it requires networking expertise you would work with key enterprise accounts red hat open stack and virtualization open shift it's remote and there is travel for that position next please so the next position is a software maintenance engineer and this one is in the EMEA region specifically Spain Italy and the Czech Republic this focuses on technical customer support it's working with key enterprise accounts again and you troubleshoot and resolve technical issues of course and there's a lot of collaboration here with both the upstream and the downstream engineering communities and there's also a good amount of reporting bugs and proposing fixes for this position we also have this one this is a senior software engineer for open stack networking this is Germany remote it is a you'd be part of a globally distributed business one working specifically on neutron in the open stack project which is the networking portion of open stack triple O which is our open source deployment method for open stack which stands for open stack on open stack and you'd write and review python code in this position and work directly with the upstream and other red hat associates we also have a position for senior software engineer and open stack networking us remote this is again a globally distributed team but this one is working on Octavia which is the low balancing service component of open stack as well as designate which is the DNS as a service component of open stack and again the triple O deployment open source project that we use for our distribution of open stack again you write and review python code and work with the upstream community as well as your fellow red hat associates this is a principal software engineer position in open stack networking this is a US remote distributed team focused on the networking projects in our distribution of open stack and specifically neutron also some work on this one in the triple O project again writing and reviewing code and working with the upstream communities as well as your fellow red hatters and was that the last one I think that was yes back to you thank you bonus points for the creative use of QR codes that seem to be making a huge comeback these days so great to see so many awesome open infrastructure jobs especially you know so many open stack ones so next we're going to bring back in from Vexos to talk about how they're hiring so at Vexos like I mentioned before we do a lot of open source our entire infrastructure stack is built on source tools so you shared a few of the ones that you could also be working on the open stacks that kubernetes so help and a lot more and these tools you could be working internally at Vexos but these are tools that you could also be contributing to their individual open source projects and for the next slide please so I shared a few of the positions that we have open currently at Vexos when it comes to open stack engineers I think at this point we always have a position open we're always expanding our open stack engineer team and it is an entirely remote position I know someone was asking earlier whether it's constricted you have to be in specific regions of the world to be able to apply that's not the case you can apply regardless of where you are same goes for the kubernetes engineer job that is at all at all times open because we're always expanding our team but some positions like a data center technician we haven't figured out a way to physically racks servers virtually so that one might have to stay in person and they also want to take a chance to mention that we also have some non-technical positions that are current that are open so even if you do want to work in open source but you don't necessarily have the technical background there's a lot of positions that you can start in and build your career from that that's it for my side back to you Mike all right thank you and thank you to everybody want to welcome everybody back on just for a moment just to thank you all for participating and for investing in open
