Come Join CloudV Team

CloudV owns and operates standardized virtualization infrastructure (OpenStack) that enables our product teams to shine.

Our platform is early in lifecycle, so we have lots of interesting problems to solve around core functionality, tenant ux, operational process, development lifecycle, and much more.

Can you help?

Who You’ll Work With

We are a distributed and diverse team of developers and operators, united under the charter to make running virtualized workloads easy and frictionless for our tenants.

Who You Are

You are an experienced developer or operator (or maybe both), familiar with working on infrastructure and services at scale.

What You’ll Do

As owners and operators of OpenStack, you’ll work with the rest of the team to mature every aspect of the platform. That includes everything from lifecycle automation for the OpenStack platform itself through to observability and other operability improvements, through to new tenant facing functionality.

In the interest of saving everyone time, this role does have some minimum requirements to apply:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field
• 7+ years of industry experience in infrastructure, virtualization, or cloud engineering
• Experience working with a public cloud such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Experience working with Docker; and working with CI/CD or DevOps systems

Preferred Requirements

This role could be a good fit for you if you bring experience with some of:

• Management and operations of the OpenStack platform
• Design, implementation and operation of distributed software
• Infrastructure management tools such as Intersight and UCS Manager
• Network administration, Linux administration (especially Linux networking)
• Virtualization technologies, Containerization technologies e.g. Docker
• Python, Ansible, Terraform.

This role could be a great fit for you if you also bring mid-career to senior level experience, a growth mindset, and the desire to do what's best for your team.

Let's Run OpenStack together!

We Are Cisco

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box!

But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us!
