  • Package readiness engagements into reusable playbooks to accelerate the open source onboarding process for future projects.
  • Monitor community health by tracking engagement across channels and running the operational side of external events.

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
  • Experience driving adoption of open source practices across multiple engineering teams.
  • Experience crafting open source governance including contributor pathways, maintainer roles, and decision-making processes.
  • Strong software engineering skills with a track record of building automation for CI checks, PR review tooling, and metrics pipelines.
