The Red Hat  AI (RHAI) team is looking for a Software Engineer with Kubernetes and MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) experience to join our rapidly growing engineering team. Our focus is to create a platform, partner ecosystem, and community by which our enterprise customers can solve problems to accelerate business success using AI. This is a very exciting opportunity to build and impact the next generation of hybrid cloud MLOps platforms, contribute to the development of the RHAI suite of products, participate in open source communities, and be at the forefront of the exciting evolution of AI. You’ll join an ecosystem that fosters continuous learning, career growth, and professional development. 

As a core developer for one of our AI teams, you will have the opportunity to actively participate in one of our component teams as well as the affiliated open-source communities. You will work as part of an evolving development team to rapidly design, secure, build, test, and release new capabilities. The role is primarily an individual contributor who collaborates closely with other developers and cross-functional teams. You should have a passion for working in open-source communities and for developing solutions that integrate Red Hat, open-source, and partner technologies into a cohesive platform.

At Red Hat, our commitment to open source innovation extends beyond our products - it’s embedded in how we work and grow. Red Hatters embrace change – especially in our fast-moving technological landscape – and have a strong growth mindset. That's why we encourage our teams to proactively, thoughtfully, and ethically use AI to simplify their workflows, cut complexity, and boost efficiency. This empowers our associates to focus on higher-impact work, creating smart, more innovative solutions that solve our customers' most pressing challenges.

What you will do

• Contribute to the architecture, design, development, and testing of new features and solutions for RHAI products. 
• Interact with backend components and microservices—primarily written in Golang—to aggregate data and implement business logic for the frontend.
• Ensure non-functional requirements, including security, resiliency, and maintainability, are met
• Write unit and integration tests and work with quality engineers to ensure product quality
• Collaborate with product management, other engineering and cross-functional teams to analyze and clarify business requirements
• Proactively utilize AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) for code generation, auto-completion, and intelligent suggestions to accelerate development cycles and enhance code quality.

What you will bring

• Experience developing applications in Go or Python, or other languages
• Experience in Kubernetes, OpenShift or other cloud-native technologies
• Experience building and maintaining RESTful APIs, BFF layers, or API gateways.
• Ability to quickly learn and use new tools and technologies
• Solid experience with source code management tools such as Git
• Good system understanding and troubleshooting capabilities
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

The following will be considered a plus (for all three levels):

• While a Bachelor’s degree or higher in computer science or a related discipline is valued, we prioritize practical experience and technical prowess
• Experience with development for public cloud services (AWS, GCE, Azure)
• Experience working with or deploying MLOps platforms
