Red Hat
About the Job
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 unique to Red Hat’s 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 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
Contribute code to increase the scalability and reliability of the service
Contribute software tests and participate in peer review to improve 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 post‑mortems
Resolve customer issues escalated from the Red Hat Global Support team
Work within a small agile team to develop and improve SRE software, support peers, plan, and self‑improve
Explore and experiment with emerging AI technologies relevant to software development, proactively identifying opportunities to incorporate new AI capabilities into existing workflows and tooling
What You Will Bring
A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field involving software or systems engineering is required. Hands‑on experience that demonstrates your ability and interest in Site Reliability Engineering is valuable and may be considered in lieu of degree requirements. You must have experience programming in at least one of these languages: Python, Golang, Java, C, C++ or another object‑oriented language, and must have experience working with public clouds such as AWS, GCP, or Azure. You must also be able to collaborate troubleshoot and solve problems in a team setting.
As an SRE you will be most successful if you have experience troubleshooting an as‑a‑service offering (SaaS, PaaS, etc.) and experience working with complex distributed systems. Direct experience with Kubernetes or OpenShift is a plus. We like to see a demonstrated ability to debug, optimize code, and automate routine tasks. A basic understanding of Unix/Linux operating systems is required.
Desired Skills
5+ years managing Linux servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, or Fedora hosted at a cloud provider such as AWS, GCE, or Azure
3+ years with enterprise systems monitoring; knowledge of Prometheus is a plus
3+ years with enterprise configuration management software like Ansible by Red Hat, Puppet, or Chef
2+ years programming with at least one object‑oriented language; Golang, Java, or Python preferred
2+ years delivering a hosted service
Demonstrated ability to quickly and accurately troubleshoot system issues
Solid understanding of standard TCP/IP networking and common protocols like DNS and HTTP
Solid communication skills and experience working directly with and presenting to customers
1+ year experience with Kubernetes is a plus
1+ year experience with docker‑based containers is a plus
The salary range for this position is $111,260.00 - $183,580.00. Actual offer will be based on your qualifications.
