• Collaborate with application teams, security engineers, and infrastructure stakeholders
• Automate infrastructure and platform operations using infrastructure-as-code
• Troubleshoot complex platform and workload issues across the stack
• Document platform architecture, procedures, and runbooks

What We're Looking For

Required:

• 6+ years of experience operating container platforms in production environments
• At least 3 years of hands-on experience with Red Hat OpenShift
• Deep knowledge of Kubernetes and OpenShift internals: operators, CRDs, RBAC, networking
• Strong Linux administration skills including networking, performance tuning, and troubleshooting
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools: Ansible, Terraform, or Helm
• Proven experience implementing CI/CD pipelines on container platforms
• Strong scripting skills in Bash, Python, or Go
• Working knowledge of monitoring, logging, and tracing tools for Kubernetes environments
• Understanding of container image security and supply chain hardening
• Excellent troubleshooting, communication, and documentation abilities
