Qualifications

• 5+ years in infrastructure/platform engineering with hands-on production experience running OpenShift or Kubernetes at scale.
• Strong working knowledge of Azure core services: APIM, Service Bus, Storage, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, networking, and IAM/Managed Identity.
• Experience with Azure DevOps for pipeline design and release management.
• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code: Terraform, Bicep, Helm, or Kustomize.
• Solid understanding of container networking, ingress controllers, and service mesh concepts.
• Familiarity with securing containerized workloads (RBAC, network policies, secrets, image scanning).
• Comfortable troubleshooting distributed systems under production pressure.
• Scripting ability (Bash, PowerShell, or Python) for automation.
• Experience with .NET microservice deployment patterns and event-driven architectures (Service Bus, Kafka/Event Hubs).
• RHCSA/RHCE or Azure certifications or OpenShift/Azure certifications.

Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and maintain OpenShift clusters for production workloads.
• Architect and manage Azure infrastructure: APIM, Service Bus, Blob Storage, PostgreSQL, networking, and identity.
• Define and enforce infrastructure-as-code practices (Terraform, Bicep, or ARM).
• Own CI/CD pipeline infrastructure (Azure DevOps) supporting containerized .NET microservices.
• Manage cluster security: RBAC, network policies, image scanning, secrets management, and compliance posture.
• Troubleshoot platform-level incidents across compute, networking, and Azure PaaS services.
• Capacity planning and cost optimization across OpenShift and Azure resources.
• Drive observability: logging, metrics, and alerting (Prometheus/Grafana, Azure Monitor).
• Partner with integration developers to define deployment patterns, resource requests/limits, scaling strategies.
• Document architecture decisions and mentor engineers on platform best practices.

Job description

Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and maintain OpenShift clusters (control plane, worker nodes, networking, storage, ingress/routes) for production workloads.
• Architect and manage Azure infrastructure: APIM, Service Bus, Blob Storage, PostgreSQL, networking (VNets, private endpoints), and identity (Managed Identity / Workload Identity Federation).
• Define and enforce infrastructure-as-code practices (Terraform, Bicep, or ARM) for repeatable, auditable deployments.
• Own CI/CD pipeline infrastructure (Azure DevOps) supporting containerized .NET microservices deployed to OpenShift.
• Manage cluster security: RBAC, network policies, image scanning, secrets management (Key Vault integration), and compliance posture.
• Troubleshoot platform-level incidents across compute, networking, and Azure PaaS services - including root-causing pod scheduling issues, resource limits, and service-to-service connectivity.
• Capacity planning and cost optimization across OpenShift and Azure resources.
• Drive observability: logging, metrics, and alerting (Prometheus/Grafana, Azure Monitor, or equivalent) for both cluster and application health.
• Partner with integration developers to define deployment patterns, resource requests/limits, and scaling strategies for event-driven and API-based workloads.
• Document architecture decisions and mentor engineers on platform best practices.
