Senior Red Hat OpenShift Automation Engineer

Salary: $140,000 - $160,000 per year

Location:

Rockville, MD or Southern New Jersey (Atlantic City area)

Our client is seeking a Senior Red Hat Open Shift Automation Engineer to join a growing infrastructure team supporting large-scale enterprise environments. This role is ideal for someone with deep expertise in Red Hat Open Shift, Ansible Automation, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) who enjoys building scalable, automated infrastructure solutions.

The ideal candidate has hands‑on experience supporting complex production environments—not just lab implementations—and has a proven track record of designing, deploying, and automating enterprise platforms.

• Design, deploy, administer, and support enterprise Red Hat Open Shift environments.
• Develop and maintain infrastructure automation using Ansible and Ansible Automation Platform.
• Automate provisioning, configuration management, patching, deployments, and operational workflows.
• Administer and troubleshoot Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) systems.
• Integrate Open Shift automation into enterprise infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.
• Monitor platform performance, availability, and security.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to improve infrastructure scalability, reliability, and operational efficiency.
• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure and production issues across enterprise environments.
• Document automation processes, standards, and best practices.

• 7+ years of Linux Systems Administration experience.
• Strong experience administering Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
• Deep expertise with Red Hat Open Shift in enterprise production environments.
• Advanced experience developing automation with Ansible.
• Proven ability to combine Open Shift administration with infrastructure automation.
• Experience supporting large, mission‑critical enterprise systems.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills.
• Experience with scripting (Bash, Python, or similar) is a plus.
• Experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, or Infrastructure as Code is preferred.

• Red Hat certifications (RHCSA, RHCE, Open Shift, or Ansible) are highly desirable.
• Experience supporting government, aerospace, defense, or FAA environments is a plus, but not required.
• Kubernetes administration experience.
• Experience with virtualization and cloud infrastructure.

The client is not looking for someone whose only experience is running Open Shift in a small lab environment. They want a senior engineer who has supported large‑scale enterprise production systems and understands how to leverage Ansible automation to build efficient, scalable, and highly available Red Hat infrastructure.

This is a hands‑on engineering role requiring both deep Open Shift expertise and the ability to automate infrastructure at scale.
