About the job
The Red Hat Engineering team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Advanced Cluster Security (ACS) team. In this role, you will work on new features and core backend services of ACS, which will help our customers safely run the world's largest commercial Kubernetes clusters in private and public clouds. Our ACS engineering team is growing and that means you'll be able to make an immediate impact on the offering, APIs, architecture, and engineering processes. With Kubernetes adoption rapidly growing, the team constantly faces new challenges like simplifying our customer deployments, improving performance to support new workloads, or exposing gRPC services behind load balancers - all of this ensures our offering works for both those getting started with Kubernetes and experts alike.
The Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security (RHACS) Engineering team is responsible for building security solutions for our customers. We design workflows to secure the customer Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Kubernetes deployments across the full software development life cycle as part of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security, formerly StackRox Kubernetes Security Platform. Combined with KubeLinter, a solution to lint security and operational readiness best practices, our mission is to continue to differentiate Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform as the most secure distribution of Kubernetes. Successful applicants must reside in a state where Red Hat is registered to do business.
What you will do

• Design, build, maintain, and test core backend services and APIs for ACS
• Work across our offering, focusing on efficient data collection, event processing, storage, and persistence
• Collaborate with other engineers, product managers, and product designers to shape, build, and improve new and existing features
• Own core areas of the offering over the entire life cycle through design, implementation, and maintenance
• Assist the Customer Support team in troubleshooting and resolving customer issues
• Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes
• Build a personal brand and strengthen the company brand through technical blog posts and open source contributions
• Write high-quality, maintainable software
• Help your colleagues via code reviews and design feedback

What you will bring

• Willingness to learn new technologies, programming languages, and concepts; we work in Golang, but we care much more about your general engineering skills than knowledge of a specific programming language
• Ability to enjoy delivering high-quality software through a principled, design document-first approach
• Experience building extensible and maintainable APIs
• Experience with scalable distributed systems
• Ability to thrive in a collaborative environment working with different stakeholders and subject matter experts
• Understanding of and experience with Kubernetes is a plus
