Is Red Hat right for you?

We are an open source company leading a technological movement.

Help lead an industry

We're changing the face of the technology industry, and we’re doing it through a culture that's a little different than most other companies—one that emphasizes making your own way in a fast-paced and passionate environment.

Red Hat is a fantastic place to work, but it’s not right for everyone. Our continued success depends on finding people who thrive in our collaborative meritocracy and understand how to work in a company with this culture and commitment.

Here’s our employer value proposition—your rewards for working here, and how to realize them. The Red Hat value proposal: your rewards, our challenges

Industry leadership

Red Hat is the biggest small company in the world. Our brand and reputation far outreach our size.

Our work is challenging. We're competing against companies with many times more resources. Our customers have only the highest expectations of us.

Opportunity

You have the chance to make an impact. And a chance to challenge yourself. To grow beyond the job you were originally hired for.

Red Hat doesn't always set you on a clear career path. You have to have initiative. Make your opportunities. Seize your chances.

Passion

People at Red Hat have a lot of passion for a lot of things. It drives us. Makes us work harder and create better things for the world.

Passionate people have strong opinions. You need to take feedback gracefully. And sometimes you have to be able to stand up for your own opinions to be heard.

Fast pace

We're growing rapidly, globally. We need to move quickly and change as the market and the needs of our customers change.

If you don't like changing directions, you may become frustrated. You need to be comfortable with ambiguity. Processes and systems aren't always in place.

The way we do business

As you've probably gathered by now, at Red Hat, we have our own way of doing things. This video explains our collaborative development model.
