Jonathan Arrance is a Senior Cloud Technical Lead with 13 years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native platforms, from founding an OpenStack HCI appliance startup to leading solutions and engineering teams at enterprises like Chronosphere, Sysdig, and SAS. He blends technical depth in OpenStack, Kubernetes, Terraform, and DevOps practices with customer-facing skills—having worked directly with C-level executives to translate business needs into deployable solutions and sales enablement materials. Jonathan has repeatedly delivered custom integrations and ETL pipelines, automated provisioning toolkits, and production-grade backends (Cassandra, Kafka) while improving operational efficiency and regulatory compliance. He also brings applied AI/ML experience from building a LangChain/Azure OpenAI RAG chatbot to streamline vulnerability research and helpdesk workflows. Comfortable toggling between code, cloud architecture, and leadership, he is as effective shipping automation scripts and SDKs as he is negotiating strategic technical direction with senior stakeholders. Based in Cary, NC, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with enterprise-scale delivery.
