Additional Information
Beaker is Red Hat's internal bare-metal provisioning and hardware testing platform, spanning six global data centers. You'll join a four-person ops team responsible for production reliability and platform modernization - migrating from legacy VMs to OpenShift, hardening for ESS compliance, and building automation and observability.
The role starts hands-on with operations (patching, Lab Controller deployments, ServiceNow tickets, vulnerability remediation) and shifts over time toward containerization, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and monitoring.
