Hi!  I'm Glenn, and I'm the CEO here at Cloudsmith. Thanks for digging around our careers site - that's already a good sign that you might be a future Cloudsmither!

You can get a quick summary of the career that's led me to Cloudsmith by clicking my LinkedIn profile above, so let me get a bit more personal here.  

I say often that I have 3 asks of all Cloudsmithers -

• Assume positive intent from other Cloudsmithers.
• Fix it, or delete it.  A day spent "writing" -100 lines of code, or deleting a bunch of obsolete Notion pages, is a productive day.
• Think 10x or 100x scale.  Be wary of the quick fix - will we want to live with this when we're a MUCH bigger company?

When I think of a great Cloudsmither, here's what comes to mind -

• Coder at heart.  You have a natural curiosity about how technical things work - programming languages, development and deployment tools, massive-scale cloud applications.  You peruse Datadog logs for fun.  
• Great teammate.  It's amazing what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit.
• Empathy for customers.  Our customers are mostly software developers, like us. They're trying to get a job done. When they're stuck, or we've managed to confuse them - your instinct is to set everything aside, and jump in and help.
  

My favorite moments at Cloudsmith are seeing other Cloudsmithers shine.

• When someone who definitely doesn't like public speaking, get up in front of the company at an offsite and present a 15-minute Lightning Talk.
• When a low-key Cloudsmither gets a shoutout on our #cheers-for-peers Slack channel, and there's more emoji reactions on the post than we have Cloudsmithers in total.
• When a Google Doc goes around with someone's writeup of a cool new idea, and a bunch of Cloudsmithers jump in with interesting comments, because we're all engaged and invested in making Cloudsmith better.

I love all the values in the Tao of Cloudsmith, but mainly I love the Tao because -

• It's opinionated.  These aren't generic niceties.
• It's oriented towards the mentality of software developers.
• It includes my favorite value - Collective Ownership. The company belongs to all of us; everyone is empowered to ask tough (or silly!) questions, make small improvements, shake things up.

That'll do it for now. I hope you'll consider joining us!
