GitKubernetesDevOpsCiscoArgo CD
About the role
- Akuity was founded by Hong Wang, Jesse Suen, and Alexander Matyushentsev - the original co-creators of Argo CD and the Argo Project.
- Open source isn't a strategy for us - it's who we are.
Responsibilities
- Build contributor pathways that lower the barrier to entry: contributor guides, onboarding documentation, and regular office hours with maintainers
- Own and operate community programming: contributor summits, virtual deep dives, GitOps Monthly webinars, live Q&As, and conference co-located meetups
- You'll work alongside the people who built Argo CD and Kargo - the communities you'll manage are ones our founders created and still actively maintain
Requirements
- 5-8 years of community management or developer relations experience in an open source or developer tools context
- Familiarity with the Kubernetes and cloud-native ecosystem - you know what GitOps means, you've heard of Argo CD, and you're not intimidated by a YAML file
- Proven track record of growing a technical open source community in a meaningful, measurable way
Nice to have
- You've used Argo CD or Kargo in a real environment, or contributed to either project
- Active presence in CNCF, OpenSSF, or related cloud-native communities
- You've spoken at KubeCon, ArgoCon, or a comparable developer conference
- You've run community programs around a CNCF-graduated or incubating project
Skills
- Nurture relationships with the CNCF, power users, active contributors, community maintainers across GitHub and related social channels
- Help shape how we communicate across both communities - release notes, changelogs, contributor newsletters, and GitHub Discussions
- Argo CD is one of the most deployed CD tools in cloud-native infrastructure.
Compensation
- Competitive salary, equity, and benefits
