• Strong understanding of core OpenStack components (Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Keystone, Glance), Linux systems, distributed systems, networking, and storage from a strategic, operational perspective.
• Demonstrated ability to lead high-severity incidents, escalate appropriately, and communicate effectively with executives and engineering teams.
• Ability to provide architectural guidance and strategic recommendations, including OS, hardware, and platform upgrades, balancing operational, technical, and business considerations.
