Job Summary The Red Hat Ecosystems Engineering group is seeking a Principal Software Integration Engineer to bridge the gap between cutting-edge partner accelerator 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, Kubernetes 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 edge accelerators are seamlessly orchestrated within Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat OpenShift and Virtualization environments and Red Hat AI platforms. If you are a "problem solver" who enjoys debugging the complex layers between a physical and a virtualized AI workloads, this role is for you. At Red Hat, our commitment to open source innovation extends beyond our products - it’s embedded in how we work and grow. Red Hatters embrace change – especially in our fast-moving technological landscape – and have a strong growth mindset.
