Job Summary:

Seeking an experienced Cloud Platform Engineer with strong Red Hat OpenShift and Linux systems engineering expertise. This role focuses on designing, deploying, and operating enterprise-scale OpenShift platforms in on-prem datacenter environments, working closely with SRE teams and program management.

Key Responsibilities:

Platform Engineering
  • Design, deploy, and manage enterprise-scale Red Hat OpenShift clusters in on-prem datacenter environments.
  • Architect highly available, scalable, and secure OpenShift platforms.
  • Implement cluster lifecycle management (installation, upgrades, patching, scaling).
  • Configure networking, storage, ingress, and security components for OpenShift.
Infrastructure Build & Automation
  • Build and automate infrastructure in datacenter environments (compute, storage, networking).
  • Integrate OpenShift with virtualization platforms (VMware/other hypervisors as applicable).
  • Develop Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or similar.
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines for platform deployments and updates.
Linux Systems Engineering
  • Provide deep Linux system administration and troubleshooting support.
  • Optimize OS-level configurations for performance, reliability, and security.
  • Automate system configuration and compliance management.
  • Diagnose and resolve complex kernel, networking, and storage issues.
Reliability & Operations
  • Partner closely with the SRE team to establish SLOs, SLIs, monitoring, and alerting.
  • Drive observability implementation (logging, metrics, tracing).
  • Participate in incident management, root cause analysis (RCA), and remediation.
  • Ensure platform resiliency, performance tuning, and capacity planning.
Program & Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work with Program Management to drive large-scale OpenShift implementation milestones.
  • Provide technical input into roadmap planning, timelines, and risk mitigation.
  • Collaborate with security, networking, storage, and application teams.
  • Document architecture, standards, and operational procedures.
Security & Compliance
  • Implement RBAC, security policies, and compliance controls within OpenShift.
  • Harden clusters according to enterprise security standards.
  • Support vulnerability management and patch governance processes.

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of Linux systems engineering experience.
  • 3+ years hands-on experience with Red Hat OpenShift (OCP 4.x preferred).
  • Experience with on-prem infrastructure and datacenter environments.
  • Strong knowledge of Kubernetes, networking, storage, and virtualization.
  • Experience with automation tools (Terraform, Ansible, GitOps).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Red Hat certifications (RHCE, OpenShift).
  • Experience with enterprise-scale OpenShift deployments.
  • Familiarity with SRE practices, DevOps/GitOps, and monitoring tools.
