Job description

from Red Hat careers

Red Hat is seeking a Principal Software Engineer to join the CI/CD and delivery engineering team within Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA). ROSA is Red Hat's fully managed Kubernetes platform on AWS, built on a large-scale multi-tenant architecture where Red Hat operates shared control plane infrastructure while customers securely run workloads in their own AWS accounts.

About the job

This team owns the systems and practices that define how ROSA software moves from commit to production — across global AWS regions, safely and at speed. You will design, build, and operate the CI/CD pipelines, testing infrastructure, release automation, and delivery tooling that the broader ROSA engineering organization depends on every day. The stack includes Prow, ci-operator, Argo CD, Terraform, Konflux, and app-interface/qontract, with a strong emphasis on pipeline reliability, progressive delivery, automated quality gates, and infrastructure-as-code validation.. There is no separate operations team: what you build, you run — including operating across a multi-region fleet of management clusters and service clusters via OCM APIs.
