Responsibilities
Drive Full Alignment: Lead the effort for the full alignment of Konflux and RHADS
Go-to-Market Execution: Position RHADS as a leading solution for improving security posture, aligning with the broader GTM strategy
Market Defense: Strategize and execute product plans to defend against competitive threats
Enforce Security by Policy: Define product requirements that leverage Konflux's foundation, where security is enforced through policy rather than documentation. Ensure the system embeds Secure SDLC activities directly into build and release pipelines, making security automatic rather than an external gate
Scalable CI/CD: Utilize Konflux’s design, which uses dedicated clusters to replace traditional concurrency limits, enabling heavy-duty teams to deliver faster and allowing for enough scale for ambitious goals, such as daily releases for supported product versions
Traceability and Artifact Management: Lead enhancements in Pipelines and GitOps to enable full traceability from Git commit, to build and image artifacts, and to supply chain security artifacts (sig, sbom, etc.). The system must be capable of generating accurate SBOMs and monitoring product releases with precision
Commercializing Upstream: Manage the delivery of a key 2026 milestone: ensuring Konflux is Deployable and Consumable Upstream for customers and community members to self-install and start using as a secure build system
Trusted Artifacts: Drive the successful delivery of trusted content, which uses SLSA Level 3 Konflux to build popular software packages
AI Integration: Determine the productization plan for bringing applied AI to Konflux as a build system and to market via RHADS
Component Strategy: Define the evolution of related supply chain products, such as incorporating Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer (NIST based assessment for regulatory compliance) and supporting the extension of Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer (including Post Quantum Crypto support)
