• Practice sustainable incident response and blameless postmortems

• Resolve customer issues escalated from the Red Hat Global Support team

• Work within a small agile team to develop and improve SRE software, support your peers, plan and self-improve

What You Will Bring

• BS in Computer Science or related technical field, or equivalent experience

• 3+ years of software engineering experience with at least one of these languages: Python, Golang, Java, C, C++ or another object-oriented language (Golang is preferred)

• 3+ years experience managing Linux-based systems in a public cloud such as AWS, GCP, or Azure

• 3+ years experience with enterprise systems monitoring; knowledge of Prometheus is preferred

• 1+ years experience delivering hosted cloud services
