• Provide technical oversight and review of engineering work to uphold quality, security, performance, and operational best practices.

• Collaborate with Engineering, Product Management, and Support to scope, prioritize, and deliver high-value platform capabilities.

• Work with team leadership to evaluate new project opportunities, proposing effective technical approaches, and driving solutions from concept to production.

• Serve as a point of technical escalation for complex development challenges or infrastructure bottlenecks.

• Represent the Dev Platform team in cross-functional initiatives and advocate for developer platform needs across the AI Engineering organization.

• Engage with upstream open-source AI/ML communities to inform Red Hat’s strategy and align our platform development with evolving community standards and tools.

• Collaborate with hardware partners to ensure emerging AI acceleration technologies are evaluated and integrated where appropriate.

What You Will Bring

• Deep experience with RHEL or other Linux distributions, especially in systems-level or infrastructure software.

• Advanced proficiency in at least one modern programming language (Python, Go, or similar), with a demonstrated ability to lead architecture and design efforts.

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, especially in identifying root causes and guiding teams through technical ambiguity.

• Expertise with modern container technologies, such as Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Podman.

• Proven experience owning and delivering complex features or systems, both independently and as a team lead.

• Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey technical direction and guide stakeholder discussions.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with hardware acceleration (e.g., GPUs, CUDA, ROCm) and how it supports AI/ML workloads.

• Experience working with AI/ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.

• Prior involvement in open-source projects or communities, especially related to platform tooling or AI.
