Hiring for Flatpak Automation


The desktop team in Red Hat has another open position. We’re looking for someone to work on Flatpak automation, for someone who enjoys working on infrastructure. Although the job description states 2+ years of experience, it’s suitable for juniors. Formal experience can be replaced by relevant open source contributions. Being onsite in Brno, Czech Republic is preferred, but not required. We’re open to hiring good candidates elsewhere, too.

If you’d like to know more about the job before formally applying, don’t hesitate to contact me on Mastodon, Signal, Matrix (@eischmann at fedora.im), or email.

I quickly read the job offer, and it didn’t seem to me that there was the answer to the following question: when you talk about “Flatpak automation”, do you talk about the possibility of automating the installation of flatpaks on an entire computer park (with the building of versions customized by the administrator), or is it a question of improving all the building process of Red Hat’s Flatpak repository?

onsite would be a clear no-go for anyone I know who's even remotely talented, even if they were within communting distance.

  • Corporations forcing people to socialize is cringe af. Either one has a good culture and people want come together or not.

Not to mention it's ableist af to any non-neurotypical or disabled person.

  • This ain't like TechSupport onsite at clients' datacenters or plumbing where it makes sense to have personnel onsite to be able to reach clients AFAP.

It's not a matter of money either. I did reject a position paying 50% higher... All I'd care is getting legally employed under German law for healthcare and tax reasons.

  • Still wishing only the best of luck and success at filling said vacancy!

I understand, but the policy isn't something I can directly influence. However, it's a very soft preference. Our engineering has always been very distributed with many people working remotely, especially the desktop team where most people work remotely. I don't think it's a major obstacle. If we have two very similarly qualified candidates, we may prefer the one who can be in Brno, otherwise we'd just pick the better one no matter where they work from.
