Software Engineer - OpenShift Workload Availability

Join the Workload Availability team as a Software Engineer in Ecosystem Engineering. Your core mission is to safeguard the stability and availability of mission-critical workloads on our OpenShift by developing and integrating robust proactive and reactive remediation mechanisms. You will focus on the complex challenges of node health checking, automated fencing, and self-healing within the cluster, ensuring these critical availability features integrate seamlessly with the diverse ecosystem of third-party hardware, cloud platforms, and infrastructure providers.

What You Will Do

Maintain critical components, controllers, and operators (primarily in Go) responsible for detecting, diagnosing, and automating the recovery of unhealthy cluster nodes on OpenShift.

Become responsible for the quality of our offerings, participate in peer code reviews and continuous integration (CI), and software release process using Konflux CI/CD system.

Develop intelligent node mechanisms to accurately
