Software Engineer

About the Job You’ll be joining the team that makes sure Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and OpenShift play nice with the latest networking hardware ( SmartNICs and DPUs ). Think of yourself as the bridge between the physical hardware and the cloud software. You aren't just building apps; you’re making sure the foundation they sit on is rock solid. What you will do Write & Implement Code: You’ll spend most of your time in the flow state, writing C, Python, or Go to integrate new hardware features into our core platforms. Troubleshoot & Debug: When hardware doesn't talk to the OS correctly, you’ll dig into the drivers and the Linux kernel to find out why and fix it. Smart Automation: You’ll identify repetitive manual tasks (like testing or deployment) and write scripts to automate them so the whole team stays fast. Collaborate & Ship: You’ll work alongside senior engineers to take requirements and turn them into functional, enterprise-grade code that actually works for customers. What you will bring 3 years of professional software engineering experience Solid Linux Skills: You know your way around a Linux terminal and have a good grasp of how the kernel handles networking and drivers. You don't need to be a kernel deity, but you should know how things connect. Polyglot Coding: You are comfortable writing C (for the low-level stuff) and either Python or Go (for tooling and automation). You’re less worried about which language and more worried about does it work? A Testing Mindset: You write code that is meant to last. You understand that code isn't done until it's tested and integrated into a CI/CD pipeline. Problem-Solving Curiosity: You enjoy the puzzle of hardware/software interactions and don't mind getting your hands dirty in a complex codebase. The following are considered a plus Container Exposure: You’ve used Docker, Kubernetes, or OpenShift and understand how they interact with the underlying OS. DevOps Basics: You’ve worked with Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Ansible to automate your workflows. Open Source Mindset: You’re comfortable navigating GitHub, reading other people’s code, and contributing to upstream projects (like the OPI Project ). #LI-AJ1 The salary range for this position is $96,440.00 - $154,190.00.
