The Red Hat Engineering team is looking for a Software Engineer to join our Advanced Cluster Security (ACS) team. In this role, you will work on new features and core backend services of ACS, which will help our customers safely run the world’s largest commercial Kubernetes clusters in private and public clouds. Our ACS Engineering team is growing and that means you’ll be able to make an immediate impact on the product, APIs, architecture, and engineering processes. With Kubernetes adoption rapidly growing, our team constantly faces new challenges like simplifying our customer deployments, improving performance to support new workloads, or exposing gRPC services behind load balancers – all of this ensures our product just works for those getting started with Kubernetes and experts alike. Successful applicants must reside in a country where Red Hat is registered to do business.

Primary job responsibilities

• Design, build, maintain, and test core backend services and APIs for ACS
• Work across our product, focusing on efficient data collection, event processing and ingestion, storage and persistence, as well as APIs and presentation

• Own core areas of the product, lead their design, and be responsible for their quality and health
• Assist our Customer Support team in troubleshooting and resolving customer issues
• Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes
• Build a personal brand and strengthen the company brand through technical blog posts and open source contributions
• Write high-quality, maintainable software
• Help your team members through code reviews

• Open to learning new technologies, programming languages, and concepts; we work in Go, but we care much more about your general engineering skills than knowledge of a specific programming language
• Enjoy delivering high-quality software through a principled, design document-first approach
• Experience building extensible and maintainable APIs
• Experience with scalable distributed systems
• Knowledge of and experience with Kubernetes
• Experience with Pod Security Policies, Helm charts, and admission controllers
