Dell provides the technology that transforms the way we all work and live. But
we are more than a technology company — we are a people company. We inspire-
challenge and respect every one of our over 100-000 employees. We also provide
them with unparalleled growth and development opportunities. We can`t wait for
you to discover this for yourself as a Community Manager on our Unstructured
Data Storage team in Seattle. The Software Engineering team delivers next-
generation software application enhancements and new products for a changing
world. Working at the cutting edge- we design and develop software for
platforms- peripherals- applications and diagnostics — all with the most
advanced technologies- tools- software engineering methodologies and the
collaboration of internal and external partners
The world has changed fundamentally in the past decade with applications tha
process data and extract critical insights in near real-time. The softwar
technologies that enabled such applications have sparked the creation of a
unprecedented number of popular applications and continues to do so. Ove
time- however- the complexity of applications has increased so much that
existing software stacks are not able to accommodate current requirements of
volume- elasticity- consistency- and parallelism. Pravega is a project that
has been conceived to satisfy such demanding requirements and builds on the
storage expertise developed over the years at Dell EMC. Pravega is storage for
streams: it exposes stream as a storage abstraction and a slick API to
manipulate streams. Pravega streams are unbounded and elastic while
guaranteeing strong consistency.
Key Responsibilities
Pravega is a young open-source project licensed under the Apache License 2.0-
with no additional clauses or restrictions based on utilization. We are
interested in growing a community around the project (http://pravega.io).
Being open source is core to our strategy. Open collaboration and the
innovation that follows from it is a pillar upon which we build our product-
and having a growing- healthy- diverse- and thriving community is core to that
strategy. A community manager is- consequently- a key individual responsible
for promoting the project in various ways- with the mission of building and
maintaining a healthy community. The specific responsibilities of a community

To organize events- such as meetups.
To interact online with the members of the community- encouraging external participation.
To encourage engineering teams internally to participate and advocate for more open-source projects.
To produce content to post online to promote the project (e.g.- blog posts and short technical videos).
The ideal skillset for this position is the following:
Able to communicate effectively- both verbally and in writing
Proven record of open-source participation
Ability to persuade and influence others to join the community
Creative and passionate about open-source
Capable of developing code
Knowledgeable of open-source data analytics technologies
