Red Hat – Core Business Platforms | Data Platform & Data Products

Red Hat Core Business Platforms is seeking a Data Reliability Engineer (DRE) to help build and operate a reliable, AI-ready data platform that powers both business operations and advanced AI initiatives.

This role is focused on ensuring that data is trustworthy, observable, and resilient by design. You will work across data pipelines, data products, and AI systems to embed reliability as a first-class concern, enabling both human users and AI agents to confidently consume and act on data.

What You Will Do

Own Data Reliability End-to-End

• Define and operate data SLIs/SLOs (freshness, completeness, accuracy, availability).

• Build automated data quality, anomaly detection, and observability frameworks.

• Implement proactive alerting, incident response, and root cause analysis for data issues.

• Continuously improve system reliability through post-incident reviews and systemic fixes.

Build and Evolve Reliable Data Products

• Develop and maintain high-quality, production-grade data products (code + data).

• Transition pipelines toward efficient, scalable ELT architectures, including real-time capabilities.

• Enforce separation of source-aligned vs. aggregate data products to support domain ownership and governance.

• Ensure data products are composable, joinable, and reusable across the organization.

Design AI-Ready, Agentic Data Systems

• Build data products optimized for ML models and AI agents, including:

  Feature consistency and reuse

  Data versioning and lineage

  Reproducibility for model training and inference

• Enable agentic workflows (ADLC) by:

  Defining data contracts and logic in machine-readable specs (MD/DSL)

  Ensuring data products are self-describing and agent-consumable

Operationalize Data + AI Workloads

• Partner with data scientists to productionize models and AI agents with strong reliability guarantees.

• Deploy and operate data and AI services on MCP (Microservices, Containers, Platforms) using Kubernetes.

• Ensure systems meet high availability, scalability, and low-latency requirements.

Governance, Security, and Trust

• Classify and tag data assets to enforce responsible usage and compliance.

• Apply masking, access controls, and RLS at the data product layer.

• Maintain rich metadata and catalog entries to support discoverability and reuse.

Enable InnerSource & Platform Adoption

• Contribute to a high-velocity InnerSource model for data product development.

• Promote best practices in reliability engineering across teams.

• Drive adoption through well-documented, discoverable, and trusted data products.

What You Will Bring

• 2+ years of experience in Data Engineering, Software Engineering, SRE, or DRE.

• Ability to work ON-SITE in Lowell, Massachusetts

• Strong SQL skills and proficiency in Python, Java, or Scala.

• Experience with modern data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, S3/MinIO).

• Solid understanding of:

  Data modeling (dimensional, data vault, domain-driven design)

  Batch and streaming architectures

• Hands-on experience with:

  Data quality and observability frameworks

  SLIs/SLOs and production operations

• Experience with CI/CD, testing, and version control.

• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-native systems.

• Strong communication skills and ability to drive a culture of reliability and ownership.

Bonus Points

• Experience with AI/ML systems in production (feature stores, model reliability).

• Familiarity with agentic frameworks or AI agents (e.g., LangChain, MCP integrations).

• Experience with streaming technologies (Kafka, Spark Streaming).

• Experience with data governance platforms (catalogs, lineage).

• Background in SRE/DRE/AIRE operating models.

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

The salary range for this position is $110,940.00 - $177,280.00. Actual offer will be based on your qualifications.
