OpenShift Platform Management

Manage, maintain, and optimize multiple large, business-critical Red Hat OpenShift clusters.

Execute and automate installation, configuration, upgrades, patching, lifecycle management, capacity management, and recovery procedures.

Monitor and improve platform availability, performance, scalability, security, and compliance.

Analyze and resolve complex incidents and structural platform issues, including root-cause analyses and improvement measures.

Automation and Platform Engineering

Develop and maintain automation using Ansible, scripts, and API integrations for provisioning, configuration, and day-to-day management.

Apply Infrastructure as Code and Configuration as Code principles to make platform configurations reproducible, auditable, and scalable.

Standardize cluster configurations, operators, policies, templates, and management processes while reducing manual tasks.

DevOps and Integration

Design and manage CI/CD and GitOps processes for the controlled rollout of platform changes and application deployments.

Integrate OpenShift with network, storage, identity, monitoring, logging, and security services.

Support development and operations teams with platform guidelines, onboarding, troubleshooting, and technical standards.

Collaboration and knowledge sharing

Collaborate within the OpenShift team and with architecture, security, network, storage, and application teams.

Act as a subject matter expert on OpenShift, a sparring partner, and a mentor to fellow engineers.

Document and share architectural decisions, runbooks, configurations, standards, and lessons learned.
