Principal Software Engineer - Container Tools (EMEA)

Job description

Red Hat Engineering is looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join the Container Tools  team with a focus on security management.  In this role, you’ll be part of a distributed team and will coordinate work with other engineers, product managers, product owners, scrum masters, and community members to write new features for a rapidly changing container ecosystem.  The role involves working in an agile environment on feature enhancements, bug fixes, and test automation.  You will help define the architecture of new projects or features, and develop those from inception through to adoption.  Expect to write code, review pull requests, fix bugs, update docs, and work with other teams to design complete solutions.

Since container technology is still evolving, it’s not expected that every candidate will come in with the experience required to start submitting pull requests on day one.  This is a great opportunity to learn how to work in a fast paced environment.  You’ll get to work on many emerging technologies, such as podman, skopeo, sigstore and the efficient and secure distribution of AI models and other artifacts. You will be expected to work autonomously, as documentation for emerging technologies can sometimes be sparse. However, support from team members is always available.
