  • Mentor and empower Staff and Senior Engineers, fostering technical growth and knowledge sharing.

  • Influence cross-functional engineering decisions and align technical initiatives with business objectives.

  • Lead innovation initiatives and guide the evolution of open source frameworks within the Apache ecosystem.

What we are looking for:

  • 10+ years of experience in software development with strong Java expertise.

  • Proven track record as a leading contributor to Apache open source projects, with recognized impact in the community.

  • Exceptional expertise in open source development methodologies, governance, and community leadership.

  • Extensive knowledge of distributed systems architecture, scalability, and advanced performance optimization.

  • Demonstrated ability to set technical strategy, influence cross-team decisions, and deliver high-impact results.

  • Experience mentoring and leading senior technical talent.

  • Advanced level of English.

  • Paid parental leave, vacation, & national holidays.
