Who we are

We're Redis. We built the product that runs the fast apps our world runs on. (If you checked the weather, used your credit card, or looked at your flight status online today, you're welcome.) At Redis, you'll work with the fastest, simplest technology in the business—whether you're building it, telling its story, or selling it to our 10,000+ worldwide customers. We're creating a faster world with simpler experiences. You in?

Who We Are

Organizations rely on Redis when every millisecond counts—whether it's powering game leaderboards, fraud detection, or conversational AI. As generative AI moves from POC to production, Redis' search, semantic caching, and flexible data structures provide agent frameworks and RAG pipelines with a fast, dependable memory layer. We're doubling down on the AI ecosystem and scaling the team, creating new opportunities to shape the next chapter of real-time, intelligent apps.

Why You'll Love This Role

You'll join an influential, high-autonomy engineering team whose work powers Redis' most visible AI integrations. One sprint you may publish a new LangGraph connector; the next you'll pair with a Fortune 100 customer to harden a pilot RAG service. Your work ships in the open (on GitHub), in conference workshops, and inside customer proofs of concept—so you'll drive immediate company revenue while also building a strong public portfolio. Come join an incredible team, ecosystem, and company working on the product that millions of developers love.

What You'll Do

Build & Maintain AI-Ecosystem Integrations

Design, implement, and release open-source SDKs, plugins, and reference apps that marry Redis with agent frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, etc.)

Triage GitHub issues, review community PRs, and guard automated test coverage

Evolve pipelines for linting, integration testing, and PyPI/NPM publishing

Drive Customer Implementations

Embed with strategic customers for short POCs or pilots; transform lessons learned into public recipes and example projects

Help bridge the gap between ideation and business value by leveraging GenAI

Collaborate Cross-Functionally

Work shoulder-to-shoulder with Redis Pre-Sales Engineering on technical evaluations, with Product Marketing and DevRel on launch content, and with ecosystem partners to co-design solutions

Close the Feedback Loop

Channel real-world performance findings, bleeding edge techniques, and feature requests back to Redis product and core-engineering teams

What You'll Need

Production GenAI Experience

— You've shipped agentic or RAG systems in Python using LangGraph, AutoGen, or a similar framework.

Demonstrated Engineering Fundamentals

— Comfortable with Git workflows, code reviews, automated testing, and containerization

Open-Source Track Record

— Demonstrable contributions through code, docs, or issue triage

Communication Skills

— Ready to explain code internals to engineers, design choices to architects, and walk non-technical leaders through a demo with targeted business value

Self-Direction & Ownership

— You set goals, unblock yourself, communicate well with the team, and surface risks early—no micromanagement required.

Nice-to-Haves

Previous experience in a

customer-facing engineering

or solutions-focused role.

Familiarity with Redis modules (Search, JSON, Gears) or other high-throughput datastores

Exposure to cloud- ops (AWS, GCP, Azure) and infrastructure-as-code

TypeScript, Java, or Rust skills for multi- demo stacks
