Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Open Shift Platform Engineer to design, deploy, and operate enterprise-grade Red Hat Open Shift container platforms running mission-critical workloads across on-premises and cloud environments. In this role you will own the end-to-end platform lifecycle — from cluster provisioning and hardening, through workload onboarding and developer enablement, to ongoing operations and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in Open Shift and Kubernetes internals, strong Linux fundamentals, and a security-first mindset, and will partner with application teams, security engineers, and infrastructure stakeholders to deliver a stable, secure, and developer-friendly container platform.

• Architect, provision, and operate Red Hat Open Shift clusters across on-premises, virtualized, and major cloud environments, applying best practices for high availability, scalability, and security.
• Design and implement multi-tenant Open Shift platforms with appropriate project isolation, network policies, quotas, RBAC, and security context constraints.
• Automate cluster lifecycle operations — installation, upgrades, scaling, and decommissioning — using Open Shift installer, Git Ops tooling (Argo CD, Open Shift Git Ops), and IaC frameworks.
• Onboard application development teams to the platform, providing clear self-service patterns, project templates, CI/CD integrations, and supporting documentation.
• Operate Open Shift networking, including SDN/OVN-Kubernetes, ingress controllers, routes, network policies, and integration with enterprise firewalls and load balancers.
• Manage Open Shift storage strategies (block, file, object), including dynamic provisioning, Open Shift Data Foundation, and integration with external storage platforms.
• Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and tracing using the Open Shift observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, EFK, Tempo) and integrate with enterprise SIEM and APM tools.
• Harden the platform in collaboration with security teams, including image scanning (Quay/Clair), runtime protection, secret management, and continuous compliance with regulatory frameworks.
• Design and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines on Open Shift using Tekton, Jenkins, Git Lab CI, or Argo Workflows, enabling safe and frequent application deployments.
• Develop disaster-recovery and backup strategies for cluster state, etcd, and persistent workloads, validated through regular failover and restore drills.
• Plan, test, and execute cluster upgrades across minor and major versions with minimal disruption to workloads, including pre-upgrade validation and rollback strategies.
• Partner with application teams to right-size workloads, manage resource quotas, and tune cluster autoscaling for predictable performance and cost efficiency.
• Continuously evolve platform tooling and developer experience, capturing feedback from internal users and translating it into roadmap improvements.
• Mentor junior engineers and act as an Open Shift subject-matter expert across the broader…
