We are seeking a specialized OpenShift Engineer with a minimum of 6+ years of IT experience and 3+ years of dedicated focus on OpenShift and Kubernetes. In this role, you will be responsible for the architecture, build, and administration of OpenShift Container Platform clusters at our Edge locations.

A key focus of this position is OpenShift Virtualization (OSV). You will leverage Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to automate cluster provisioning, manage capacity, and ensure high availability for both containerized applications and virtual machines.

Key Responsibilities :

1. Cluster Engineering & Virtualization (Edge Focus) :

- Build & Deploy : Design, build, and configure OpenShift Virtualization (OSV) clusters at on-premise Edge locations.

- Infrastructure Management : Manage the underlying infrastructure, including Network and Storage configurations required to set up robust clusters.

- Capacity Planning : Manage cluster capacity, tenant provisioning, and resource isolation to ensure optimal performance for distributed workloads.

2. Infrastructure Automation (IaC) :

- Automation Development : Develop and maintain robust automation scripts to build and manage platform capacity using Ansible, Terraform, and Bash/Python.

- CI/CD Integration : Design and implement Tekton pipelines for continuous integration and delivery, automating the lifecycle of the container platform.

- Scripting : Write clean, maintainable code (YAML, Python, Node.js) to support system administration tasks and operational tooling.

3. Operations, Observability & Support :

- Lifecycle Management : Manage the full lifecycle of the platform, including installation, upgrades, hotfixes, and patching of OpenShift clusters.

- Observability : Implement and manage monitoring solutions using Dynatrace, Grafana, and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) to ensure system health.

- L2 Support : Provide Level 2 engineering support, conducting root cause analysis (RCA) for complex issues and performing unit testing on infrastructure code.

- Documentation : Author and maintain system documentation, runbooks, and playbooks to support the broader engineering team.

Required Skills & Technical Expertise :

- Core Platform : Deep expertise in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP), OpenShift Virtualization (OSV), and Kubernetes.

- Container Technology : Strong working knowledge of Docker and container runtimes.

- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) : Mandatory hands-on experience developing automation using Ansible and Terraform.

- Scripting : Proficiency in at least one scripting language: Python, Bash, Node.js, or PowerShell.

- CI/CD : Proven experience creating and managing pipelines using Tekton.

- Observability : Experience with monitoring tools such as Dynatrace, Grafana, and RHACM.

- Infrastructure Fundamentals : Strong understanding of Network and Storage configuration in the context of cluster setup.

Experience Requirements :

- Total Experience : 6+ years of overall IT experience.

- Relevant Experience : Minimum 3+ years of hands-on experience specifically in building, administering, and managing OpenShift container and virtualization platforms.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have) :

- Experience with NetApp Controllers and storage integration.

- Background in VMware ESX administration.

- Knowledge of Linux Cluster management.

- Experience with Splunk for log analysis.

Education :

- Required : Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
