• Collaborate with SW Quality team members outside the immediate team to work toward an integrated testing strategy with best possible coverage and resulting quality

• Analyze source code and work with developers to propose appropriate test approaches for all parts of our software; this includes providing feedback on how to make our code more test-friendly

• Explore novel approaches to testing RHEL AI software, focusing on all aspects ranging from usability, unwanted behaviors to performance and scalability

• Develop and work on the design of test automation frameworks and tools and their integration with the development workflow

• Regular communication and feedback about progress to various project stakeholders, such as other Red Hat AI Engineering teams, product managers and management

• Participate in upstream AI/ML communities with a focus on learning more about the various technologies and how they might be used within our offerings

What you will bring:

• Experience as a Software Quality Engineer, preferably in a project that uses Python and works with an upstream community, which includes developing test plans

• Solid experience scripting and creating automation using Python and Bash

• Basic experience with automation in GitHub/GitLab, such as GitHub actions or similar continuous integration tools

• Experience with container technologies, such as Kubernetes/OpenShift and Podman

• Work experience with DevOps methodologies, scrum and tools, such as Jira

The following will be considered a plus:
