The AI Platform Core Components organization, part of AI Engineering, is looking for individuals with passion for fostering an agile culture and helping grow the impact of Red Hat’s AI offerings for our customers and the community. The focus of our rapidly growing engineering organization is to productize Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI and to provide independence for AI Engineering on implementing AI accelerators and core layers of the stack. In the position of Agile Practitioner, you will have an exciting opportunity to encourage generative AI innovation through open source, contribute to the agile development of RHEL AI, and be at the forefront of the exciting evolution of AI. You will join an ecosystem that promotes collaboration, continuous improvement, and professional development.
If you enjoy working in a dynamic environment where each day provides interesting challenges and opportunities, this might be just the place for you. As a part of the RHEL AI’s team of agile practitioners, you will have the opportunity to support the agile culture of an entire organization. You will engage with stakeholders and engineering teams to promote and cultivate an agile mindset, and as an individual contributor, you will coach and mentor a subset of teams and ensure consistent application of agile best practices and tools. Just as importantly, you will be collaborating closely with like-minded agile professionals working with teams of their own as we build out an open organization that fully lives into the agile values and principles, and where everyone’s contributions and thoughts are valued and encouraged. At Red Hat, we focus on respectful adoption of agility through the identification and resolution of existing challenges rather than implementation of specific frameworks.
