Senior Integration Engineer - Red Hat Ecosystems Engineering (Raanana Office, Israel)

The Red Hat Ecosystems Engineering group is seeking a Senior Integration Engineer to bridge the gap between cutting-edge Nvidia hardware and Red Hat’s open-source software stack. This is a highly technical, "hands-on" role for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of the Linux kernel, virtualization, and high-performance networking.

Rather than focusing purely on application logic, you will be responsible for hardware enablement and system-level integration. You will ensure that GPUs, DPUs, and other accelerators are seamlessly orchestrated within Red Hat OpenShift and Virtualization environments. If you are a "problem solver" who enjoys debugging the complex layers between a physical NIC and a virtualized AI workload, this role is for you.

What You Will Do

• Lead the integration of Nvidia hardware (GPUs, DPUs) into the Red Hat ecosystem, ensuring drivers, firmware, and orchestration layers work in harmony.
• Build and optimize solutions using KVM, QEMU, and libvirt to ensure high-performance hardware pass-through and abstraction.
• Design and implement robust networking paths using Advanced Software Defined Network (SDN) and Virtual Networking
• Act as the technical bridge between hardware-level drivers and cloud-native platforms like Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift.
• Develop integration patterns and "golden paths" for AI workloads, ensuring they meet strict performance and resiliency requirements.
• Work closely with Product Engineering, Partners (Nvidia), and Customers to root-cause complex issues across the entire stack (Hardware → Kernel → Hypervisor → Container).
• Create architectural blueprints and implementation guides for field engineers and lighthouse customers.
  
  

What You Will Bring

• +4 years of experience in system integration, infrastructure engineering, or specialized DevOps.
• Deep practical knowledge of server virtualization technology (ESX, Hyper-V, KVM)
• Strong understanding of Software Defined Networking (SDN) concepts.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Podman, or Docker, specifically regarding how containers consume host resources and hardware.
• Advanced proficiency in Linux system administration, kernel modules, and hardware-software interfaces.
• Practical experience implementing secured infrastructure principles (Zero Trust, Micro-segmentation, eVPN)
• A passion for "how things work together" and the ability to troubleshoot across multiple engineering domains (Network, Storage, Compute).
• Ability to work closely with diverse teams and translate complex hardware requirements into software-defined solutions.
• Excellent system understanding and troubleshooting capabilities.
• Autonomous work ethic, thriving in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
• Proficient written and verbal communication skills in English.
  
  

The Following is Considered a Plus

• Experience with cloud administration for public cloud services (AWS, GCE, Azure).
• Deep practical knowledge of KVM, QEMU, and libvirt. Experience with ESXi is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with Nvidia GPU or Networking
• Background in DevOps or site reliability engineering (SRE).
• Experience with Operators and AI workload deployments ( LLM , vLLM , inference, agents )
• Recent hands-on experience with distributed computation, either at the end-user or infrastructure provider level.
• Experience with performance analysis tools.
