- At least five years of experience operating container platforms in production, including at least three years working with Red Hat OpenShift.
- Deep, hands-on knowledge of Kubernetes and OpenShift internals, including operators, CRDs, RBAC, and networking.
- Strong Linux administration skills, including networking, performance tuning, and troubleshooting.
- Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Ansible, Terraform, or Helm.
- Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines on OpenShift or Kubernetes using Tekton, Jenkins, or Argo CD.
- Strong scripting skills in Bash, Python, or Go.
- Working knowledge of cluster monitoring, logging, and tracing tools.
- Familiarity with container image security and supply-chain hardening.
- Excellent troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills.
- Must be willing to work directly as a full-time W2 employee of Bright Vision Technologies; C2C and 1099 arrangements are not accepted.
- A technical coding assessment is mandatory.
- No new H1B sponsorship is available. Candidates on a valid H1B visa who need a transfer may apply.
Nice To Haves

- Exposure to service mesh implementations such as OpenShift Service Mesh, Istio, or Linkerd.
- Familiarity with regulated environments such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, or SOC 2.
- Experience with GitOps workflows using Argo CD or Flux.
Responsibilities
- Architect, provision, and operate Red Hat OpenShift clusters across on-premises, virtualized, and major cloud environments, applying high-availability, scalability, and security best practices.
- Design and implement multi-tenant OpenShift platforms with project isolation, network policies, quotas, RBAC, and security context constraints.
- Automate cluster installation, upgrades, scaling, and decommissioning using the OpenShift installer, GitOps tooling, and infrastructure-as-code frameworks.
- Onboard application development teams by providing self-service patterns, project templates, CI/CD integrations, and supporting documentation.
- Operate OpenShift networking, including SDN/OVN-Kubernetes, ingress controllers, routes, network policies, and integration with enterprise firewalls and load balancers.

- Harden the platform with security teams, including image scanning, runtime protection, secret management, and continuous regulatory compliance.
- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines on OpenShift using Tekton, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Argo Workflows to enable safe, frequent deployments.
- Develop disaster-recovery and backup strategies for cluster state, etcd, and persistent workloads, and validate them through regular failover and restore drills.
- Plan, test, and execute minor and major cluster upgrades with minimal workload disruption, 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.
- Improve platform tooling and developer experience by collecting internal user feedback and translating it into roadmap improvements.
- Mentor junior engineers and serve as an OpenShift subject-matter expert across the organization.
