Job summary: The Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization QE (Infra) team is looking for an Intern with an interest in test automation and platform engineering to join us in Israel. In this role, you will contribute to the reliability and scalability of our automated test suite for OpenShift Virtualization and work with engineers who maintain CI pipelines, shared libraries, and test environments on OpenShift. You’ll help extend and maintain Python-based tests and utilities, participate in troubleshooting failures, and support improvements to how we run and observe tests in continuous integration. As an Intern, you’ll write and refine automated tests and helpers, engage with code review and team processes, and develop a practical understanding of virtualization and cloud-native workflows on Kubernetes. This long-term internship will give you the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with enterprise-quality engineering practices, to learn how large open-source test suites are structured and maintained, and to work on real infrastructure that supports Red Hat’s OpenShift Virtualization product. What you will do: Participate in design, implementation, and maintenance of automated tests and shared test utilities in Python (pytest) and Golang (Ginkgo). Work on CI-related tasks: understanding test failures, improving stability of jobs, and contributing to quality gates (linting, typing, and test runs as applicable). Contribute to test infrastructure topics such as fixtures, resource management patterns, logging, and documentation that help the team scale the suite. Collaborate with developers and quality engineers to reproduce issues, narrow down failures, and verify fixes in a Kubernetes/OpenShift context. What you will bring: Basic experience programming in Python (coursework, personal projects, or prior internship). Basic understanding of writing and running automated tests (e.g. pytest or similar). Good written and verbal communication skills in English Must be enrolled in an accredited university program in Israel during the whole duration of the internship and eligible to begin a full-time role in 2027 or 2028 Must be available for the internship from August 2026 till July 2027 The following are considered a plus: Knowledge of containers and OpenShift or Kubernetes and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) Previous code contributions to or participation in open source projects or code samples on GitHub. Familiarity with basic software testing concepts and experience writing or contributing to test plans. Basic knowledge of data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation. Familiarity with CI tools such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins Due to the limited number of internship opportunities and the high volume of applications, we may not be able to speak with every candidate. To maximize your chances of moving forward in the process, please ensure your CV clearly outlines your education, relevant projects (link to your Github account), and extracurricular activities. Please apply for a maximum of three internship roles that best match your interests and skills.
