Red Hat, LLC is an enterprise software company specialising in open source technology. Its flagship product, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), is a widely deployed enterprise operating system, and the company has since expanded into a broad portfolio of hybrid cloud platforms and open source technologies spanning the datacenter, cloud, and edge environments. Its technical work covers AI, virtualisation, edge computing, application development, automation, and container orchestration, including Kubernetes.
The company operates across 40+ countries with over 100 offices and a workforce of more than 19,000 employees. It is a subsidiary of IBM. Rather than developing technology in isolation, Red Hat works alongside a community of contributors, customers, and partners, applying what it describes as "the open source way" - an approach built on shared development and open collaboration.
For technologists, Red Hat's work sits at the intersection of several high-demand domains: enterprise Linux, hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure, container platforms, and increasingly, AI and automation tooling. Its positions tend to require experience with open source ecosystems and enterprise-scale environments, and the company's scale means roles exist across engineering, product, consulting, and global operations.
