- Exposure to service mesh implementations (OpenShift Service Mesh, Istio, 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 best practices for high availability, scalability, and security.
- Design and implement multi-tenant OpenShift platforms with appropriate project isolation, network policies, quotas, RBAC, and security context constraints.
- Automate cluster lifecycle operations — installation, upgrades, scaling, and decommissioning — using OpenShift installer, GitOps tooling (Argo CD, OpenShift GitOps), and IaC frameworks.
- Onboard application development teams to the platform, providing clear self-service patterns, project templates, CI/CD integrations, and supporting documentation.

- Design and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines on OpenShift using Tekton, Jenkins, GitLab 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.
