Job description

The Back End Developer is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining
highly available infrastructure across virtualized and hybrid cloud
environments. This role supports the automation and management of data center
infrastructure, leveraging modern configuration management and
infrastructure-as-code practices to improve scalability, consistency, and
efficiency.

In this role, you will help transform platforms, systems, and applications into
reusable, modular components using virtualization and containerization
technologies. You will work extensively with Red Hat technologies, including Red
Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenStack, to deploy, configure, and maintain cloud
environments—often within complex or air-gapped settings. This includes building
and managing Docker containers, as well as using tools like Ansible and
Terraform to provision and configure infrastructure.

You will contribute to the full lifecycle of OpenStack environments, from
installation and integration into existing networks to scaling services and
troubleshooting core system functionality. This may involve diagnosing issues at
the code level, including reviewing Python stack traces and supporting
resolution of system-level defects.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working in Agile or DevOps-oriented
environments and understands how software development lifecycle practices apply
to infrastructure and system management. Experience with CI/CD pipelines,
Git-based workflows, and configuration management tools such as Ansible, Puppet,
Chef, or similar technologies is important. A strong foundation in Python is
also expected to support debugging, automation, and collaboration with upstream
development communities when needed.
