Software Engineering Internship - Go (Brno office, Czech Republic)
Are you passionate about software development and eager to dive into the world of Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies? The Red Hat Observability Intelligence team is looking for an intern with experience in Go to join us in the Czech Republic. In this role, you will help develop Kubernetes operators that collect health data from OpenShift clusters, enabling predictive analytics to prevent issues before they arise.
This internship will provide hands-on experience in Go, Kubernetes operators, Git, and more. You will collaborate with engineers across multiple teams, improving your communication, negotiation, and presentation skills. You'll also work in a diverse, global environment, learning how to navigate different cultures and accents. Additionally, you will be mentored on-site by an engineer who was once in your shoes as a successful internship program alumnus.
This is an excellent opportunity to gain industry experience, sharpen your programming skills, and contribute to an innovative open-source ecosystem while working in an agile team environment.
At Red Hat, you’ll work in an environment that welcomes diverse perspectives, values great ideas, and empowers individuals to contribute meaningfully. Freedom and courage are two of our core values — which means you’ll have the space to take risks, explore the unknown, and grow your strengths. But being a Red Hatter is not just about bravery; it’s also about commitment and follow-through.
