In this role, you will work with a group of talented software engineers, software quality engineers, and contributors across the globe. You’ll work on new features and address existing defects and bugs in our projects. You’ll also help us ensure a smooth customer experience in connecting RHEL to the Hybrid Cloud Console. The position will also allow you to learn the inner workings of Linux and improve your Python and Go language skills. Our team is international - you’ll work with both Czech and international colleagues, and there will be plenty of opportunities to improve your English and communication skills. The team has several great engineers located in Brno, and they will help you with onboarding.

Some of the projects we maintain include:

To be successful as a Client Tools Engineer, you need to have motivation, curiosity, passion for problem-solving, and experience with Linux, Python (understanding of – or interest in – Go is a plus), and open source. We are looking for an open-minded person who can think creatively, adapt quickly, and contribute to our future automation efforts.

What will you do:

• Develop customer-facing tools in Python and Go
• Develop integrations between various services from Red Hat’s Hybrid Console services with RHEL stack
• Participate in the implementation of unified client tools by adding support for a more modernized registration, data collections and remote management options.
• Contribute to unit and integration test development and work with quality engineers to ensure the highest level of product quality
• Participate in design sessions side by side with the quality engineers and product management to scope and prioritize new features
• Stay up to date with the latest technologies and development methodologies
• Prototype and present your ideas; communicate with other team members
• Work in a cross-functional team together with other software engineers, quality engineers, product and project managers to apply the implementation of those features and processes to the specific software products.

What will you bring:

• Experience working in a Linux environment with at least one language like Python or GoLang
• Proficiency in Linux operation and administration - understanding of the linux architecture, services, configuration, logging, etc.
• Appropriate git skills (feature and release branches and remotes, rebasing, user-level knowledge of GitHub, GitLab and other git forges)
• Detail-oriented thinking, understanding customer perspective, good debugging and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment
• Ability to work as part of an agile team, follow clean code practices, and quickly absorb new knowledge
• Proficient written and verbal communication skills in English

The following are considered a plus

• Involvement in some upstream open source project

• Experience with cloud technologies

We don't expect you to check off all of these areas to join our team. Instead, we prefer to build around your strengths and provide opportunities for you to grow your skills.
