Senior Software Engineer - AI Workflows & SDLC

Job Summary

The Red Hat AI Platform Core Components (AIPCC) team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our site in Ra’anana, Israel.

In this role, you will act as an internal pioneer, helping shape how Red Hat engineering teams use AI-assisted and agentic software development practices. You will step into an early-stage, high-context environment to turn emerging AI development patterns into practical workflows, reusable skills, and guidance that engineering teams can adopt at scale.

You will partner with existing internal "Tiger Teams" to move beyond proofs of concept, identifying where AI tools, agents, testing automation, and workflow improvements create measurable value. If you thrive on learning quickly, navigating high context-switching, and turning unclear problems into reliable engineering practices with minimal supervision, you will excel here.

What you will do

• Partner with engineering teams to identify, design, and improve AI-assisted workflows across coding, testing, review, documentation, and delivery.

• Build and refine reusable AI skills, agent workflows, prompts, MCP integrations, and automation patterns that can be shared across the organization.

• Evaluate emerging AI development tools (including coding agents and AI-assisted review) and integrate them into an agentic software development lifecycle (SDLC).

• Guide the transition of successful experiments into repeatable, secure, observable, and production-ready engineering practices.

• Contribute improvements to repositories, tooling, and internal enablement materials to help teams adopt AI-first practices.

What you will bring

• Experience using AI-assisted development tools (such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) in real engineering workflows.

• Practical understanding of agentic development concepts, including skills, agents, MCP servers, tool use, and LLM-based workflow automation.

• Proficiency in Python, Go, or a similar programming language.

• Experience with RHEL or other Linux distributions

• Experience with containerization and orchestration using Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift.

• Ability to evaluate developer workflows, handle high context-switching, and work comfortably in an emerging area with changing requirements.

• Solid communication skills to collaborate with engineering teams, understand their constraints, and guide practical technology adoption.

The following is considered a plus:

• Experience with developer productivity, developer experience, or platform engineering

• Experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, CUDA, ROCm, GPUs, or AI/ML infrastructure

• Contributions to upstream AI/ML open source communities

• Experience with agile development, test-driven development, CI/CD, or software supply chain practices
