  • Improve and maintain CI/CD pipelines of applications deployed in various environments (example: improving automated deployment to an OpenShift cluster).
  • Serve as an adviser to our stakeholders on process-related inquiries (example: advise on data model for storing CVE which impact component X).
  • Continuously improve the process of Red Hat's software delivery (example: suggest/implement automation for legal approval of components in the registry).

  • Advanced (5+ years) knowledge of the Python programming language and its ecosystem
  • Intermediate (3+ years) experience with Linux system administration
