We are a global team and strive to cultivate a transparent environment that makes room for different voices. We learn from our failures in a blameless environment to support the continuous improvement of the team. At Red Hat, your individual contributions have more visibility than most large companies, and visibility means career opportunities and growth.**What you will do**:

Direct experience with Kubernetes or OpenShift is a plus. We like to see a demonstrated ability to debug, optimize code and automate routine tasks. We are Red Hat, so you need a basic understanding of Unix/Linux operating systems.**Desired skills**
