UI/Frontend Engineering Internship (Brno office, Czech Republic)

The Red Hat Identity Management Engineering team is seeking a Software Engineer intern with JavaScript experience to join us. In this role, you would work with a team of developers focusing on the Identity Management solution in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which delivers a centrally managed authentication and identity management infrastructure to communities and companies looking for reliable security solutions.

As a Frontend Engineer intern, your main focus will be development of the project's web user interface (see it in action at https://ipa.demo1.freeipa.org), written as a single-page JavaScript application (specifically TypeScript). From the start, you will have a great opportunity to collaborate on implementation of a new web interface, following the latest PatternFly user interface framework and ReactJS frameworks.

At Red Hat, you’ll work in an environment that welcomes diverse perspectives, values great ideas, and empowers individuals to contribute meaningfully. Freedom and courage are two of our core values — which means you’ll have the space to take risks, explore the unknown, and grow your strengths. But being a Red Hatter is not just about bravery; it’s also about commitment and follow-through.

Red Hat’s Intern Program is a collaborative effort between the Emerging Talent team and our intern managers. The program is designed to offer a meaningful and well-rounded experience — combining professional development, networking opportunities, social engagement, and impactful work. This is a paid internship based in our Brno office, typically lasting 12 months, with the possibility to extend up to 24 months. Interns work on average 20 hours per week, with flexible working hours, and the expected start date is July 1st.

What will you do:

• Implement enhancements or address issues of new and old Web UI component of the FreeIPA open source project and related packaging to Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux

• Identify system deficiencies, conduct technical research and analysis, and recommend solutions or fixes

• Contribute tests for the upstream continuous integration suite to help maintain high stability of the upstream project

What will you bring:

• You must be enrolled in a Czech university (Bachelor’s 3rd/4th year or Master’s) for the full internship duration and be able to work full-time within 2 years.

• Working knowledge of written and spoken English

• Proven track record of developing Web user interfaces (preferably using TypeScript with ReactJS or similar framework)

• Expertise in software development using at least one more system-level programming language (Python, C, ...)

• Desire to learn and solve challenging problems

The following are considered a plus:

• Working experience with a Linux-based operating system

• Understanding or working experience of Identity Management systems or related technologies (Kerberos, LDAP, PKI, Active Directory, 2FA)

Due to the limited number of internship opportunities and the high volume of applications, we may not be able to speak with every candidate. To maximize your chances of moving forward in the process, please ensure your CV clearly outlines your education, relevant projects (link to your git.hub account), and extracurricular activities. Incomplete applications may be excluded from screening. You can find helpful tips and recommendations inthis article.
