Senior Software Engineer - Site Reliability

Red Hat is seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to develop, scale, and operate our OpenShift managed cloud services. OpenShift is Red Hat’s enterprise Kubernetes distribution. As an SRE you will contribute to running OpenShift at scale by enabling customer self-service, making our monitoring system more sustainable, and eliminating work through automation.

On the SRE team, you will have the opportunity to influence the complex challenges of scale which are unique to Red Hat managed cloud services, while using your skills in coding, operations, and large-scale distributed system design.

Red Hat relies on teamwork and openness for its success. We are a global team and strive to cultivate a transparent environment that makes room for different voices. We learn from our failures in a blameless environment to support the continuous improvement of the team. At Red Hat, your individual contributions have more visibility than most large companies, and visibility means career opportunities and growth.

What you will do

The day-to-day responsibilities of an SRE involve working with live systems and coding automation. As an SRE you will be expected to:

• Contribute code to increase the scalability and reliability of the service

• Contribute software tests and participate in peer review to increase the quality of our codebase

• Help and develop peers’ capabilities through knowledge sharing, mentoring, and collaboration

• Participate in a regular on-call schedule, including occasional paid weekends and holidays

• Practice sustainable incident response and blameless postmortems

• Resolve customer issues escalated from the Red Hat Global Support team

• Work within a small agile team to develop and improve SRE software, support your peers, plan and self-improve
