Remote Django Jobs in Raleigh, NC (NOW HIRING)

The Red Hat Cost Management team is looking for a skilled Senior Software Engineer to drive the evolution of our cost-tracking solutions across both SaaS and On-Premise environments. In this role, you will be instrumental in building, maintaining, and scaling features that serve our diverse customer base, whether they operate in the cloud or within self-managed clusters.

You will focus on maintaining a high-performance Python/Django codebase designed to run efficiently in multi-tenant SaaS environments as well as localized customer deployments. This role requires a developer who can bridge the gap between cloud-native flexibility and the robust reliability required for on-premise software. You will ensure our PostgreSQL-centric data models are performant across all deployment profiles and leverage Kubernetes/OpenShift tooling to deliver a seamless user experience regardless of the underlying infrastructure.

What you will do:

• Write high-quality, maintainable code that powers both our global SaaS platform and our self-managed on-premise offerings, ensuring feature parity and architectural consistency.

• Implement and refine the data access layer within Python/Django to ensure maximum performance and scalability for PostgreSQL databases in both cloud and local contexts.

• Develop, test, and maintain deployment artifacts, including Helm charts and Operators, to streamline application provisioning and lifecycle management across OpenShift/Kubernetes environments.

• Contribute to the end-to-end delivery lifecycle by enhancing CI/CD pipelines and designing robust unit and integration tests to build, validate, and distribute high-quality container images and release bundles for both SaaS and on-premise environments.

• Partner with Product Managers and Owners to translate requirements into code, while assisting in resolving complex performance or deployment issues across the full product spectrum.

What you will bring:

• 5+ years of experience developing production applications with Python/Django and managing asynchronous tasks with Celery.

• 3+ years of experience with PostgreSQL, including schema design, migration management, and advanced SQL query optimization.

• 2+ years of experience with containers (Docker/Podman) and Kubernetes/OpenShift, including hands-on experience with Helm charts or Operators.

• Proven experience implementing microservices and integration design patterns to build scalable, decoupled systems.

• 3+ years of experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab, GitHub Actions) and Git-based workflows within an Agile environment.

Preferred Plus

• Experience building or adapting applications to run in on-premise, air-gapped, or highly constrained environments.

• Expertise in writing custom Kubernetes Operators or advanced Helm templates.

• Deep knowledge of relational database internals and a track record of solving complex performance tuning challenges at scale.

• Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Sourcery) to accelerate delivery and enhance code quality.

The salary range for this position is $118,600.00 - $195,680.00. Actual offer will be based on your qualifications.
