OpenShift Platform Engineer

Role overview

Operate and improve production OpenShift environments across hybrid infrastructure, with a focus on reliability, security, automation, and making the platform easier for application teams to use. You’ll deliver engineering work independently, lead small to medium efforts, and partner across infrastructure, application, security, and support teams to resolve complex platform issues and create reusable standards.

Responsibilities

- Deploy, configure, upgrade, scale, and maintain production OpenShift clusters. - Automate provisioning, configuration, upgrades, and recurring operations using scripts, infrastructure as code, configuration management, GitOps, or CI/CD practices. - Diagnose issues spanning Kubernetes, Linux, containers, networking, ingress, DNS, certificates, storage, compute, identity, and application connectivity. - Improve platform monitoring, alerting, health checks, dashboards, performance, and capacity planning. - Participate in incident response and root-cause analysis, and support backup, recovery, resiliency, and disaster recovery exercises. - Maintain access controls, workload security, secrets, certificates, platform policies, technical documentation, and application onboarding patterns; contribute to peer reviews and on-call support.

Requirements

- At least six years of combined higher education and/or work experience in systems design, management, or architecture. - Hands-on experience administering and supporting production OpenShift or Kubernetes environments. - Strong troubleshooting skills across container platforms and related Linux, networking, storage, compute, identity, and application technologies. - Experience automating infrastructure or platform operations and using Git workflows, peer review, testing, and controlled change practices. - Ability to deliver assigned work with limited supervision, assess technical requirements and risks, and communicate clearly across teams. - Working knowledge of high availability, observability, backup, recovery, and platform resiliency.

Nice to have

- A degree in computer science, computer engineering, information systems, or a related field; production multi-cluster OpenShift experience is also useful. - Exposure to managed Kubernetes services, Linux administration, Podman or Docker, Argo CD, Ansible, Terraform, Python, Go, or Bash. - Experience with container security, vulnerability remediation, image governance, secrets, certificates, policy enforcement, or application onboarding. - Background in financial services or another regulated environment.
