Red Hat became a subsidiary of IBM in July 2019 following IBM's acquisition for approximately US$34 billion, while continuing to operate as a distinct unit and a leading contributor to upstream open-source projects. Its product portfolio includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux, OpenShift Kubernetes-based container platforms, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Red Hat OpenStack Platform, Red Hat OpenShift AI, the JBoss middleware family, and Red Hat Satellite, alongside consulting and certified-training offerings. India is one of Red Hat's largest engineering footprints globally, with major centres in Bengaluru and Pune contributing to OpenShift, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ansible, OpenStack, OpenShift AI, customer-experience-and-engagement, and customer-success functions for the worldwide business. Indian fresher and early-career hiring at Red Hat typically targets software-engineer, quality-engineer, technical-support-engineer, associate-consultant, and customer-success-engineer roles, sourced through structured campus placements at top engineering colleges and direct applications via the Red Hat Workday careers portal.
