Sr. Software Engineer

The Red Hat Cost Management team is looking for a skilled Senior Software Engineer to drive the evolution of our cost-tracking solutions across both SaaS and On‑Premise environments. In this role, you will be instrumental in building, maintaining, and scaling features that serve our diverse customer base, whether they operate in the cloud or within self‑managed clusters.

You will focus on maintaining a high‑performance Python/Django codebase designed to run efficiently in multi‑tenant SaaS environments as well as localized customer deployments. This role requires a developer who can bridge the gap between cloud‑native flexibility and the robust reliability required for on‑premise software. You will ensure our Postgre

SQL‑centric data models are performant across all deployment profiles and leverage Kubernetes/Open Shift tooling to deliver a seamless user experience regardless of the underlying infrastructure.

• Write high‑quality, maintainable code that powers both our global SaaS platform and our self‑managed on‑premise offerings, ensuring feature parity and architectural consistency.
• Implement and refine the data access layer within Python/Django to ensure maximum performance and scalability for Postgre
  
  SQL databases in both cloud and local contexts.
• Develop, test, and maintain deployment artifacts, including Helm charts and Operators, to streamline application provisioning and lifecycle management across Open Shift/Kubernetes environments.
• Contribute to the end‑to‑end delivery lifecycle by enhancing CI/CD pipelines and designing robust unit and integration tests to build, validate, and distribute high‑quality container images and release bundles for both SaaS and on‑premise environments.
• Partner with Product Managers and Owners to translate requirements into code, while assisting in resolving complex performance or deployment issues across the full product spectrum.

• 5+ years of experience developing production applications with Python/Django and managing asynchronous tasks with Celery.
• 3+ years of experience with Postgre
  
  SQL, including schema design, migration management, and advanced SQL query optimization.
• 2+ years of experience with containers (Docker/Podman) and Kubernetes/Open Shift, including hands‑on experience with Helm charts or Operators.
• Proven experience implementing microservices and integration design patterns to build scalable, decoupled systems.
• 3+ years of experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Git Lab, Git Hub Actions) and Git‑based workflows within an Agile environment.

• Experience building or adapting applications to run in on‑premise, air‑gapped, or highly constrained environments.
• Expertise in writing custom Kubernetes Operators or advanced Helm templates.
• Deep knowledge of relational database internals and a track record of solving complex performance tuning challenges at scale.
• Experience leveraging AI‑assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Sourcery) to accelerate delivery and enhance code quality.
