  • Improve guest customization capabilities during conversion, such as automated driver installation (virtio drivers), network configuration, and bootloader adjustments
  • Debug and resolve complex issues related to VM conversion, including boot failures, network connectivity problems, and interactions with various guest operating systems and their applications (e.g., anti-virus software)
  • In a scrum model, work with Engineers on test plans and test strategies for the code you create and bring capabilities to CI based testing. Work with the Documentation team to ensure good coverage for the features and fixes you work on
  • Participate in architectural discussions of system designs, programming interfaces, and inter-dependencies of Core Virtualization Platform (hypervisor), Control Plane, Operators, CI, etc.
  • Collaborate with other engineering teams in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift for components that are used by OpenShift Virtualization and associated tools
  • Troubleshoot, brainstorm, design and deliver fixes for internal and external customers related to your area of expertise
  • What you will bring?
