Job Description:
The OpenShift Engineer will be responsible for managing, deploying, and
maintaining containerized applications on Red Hat OpenShift, a leading
Kubernetes-based platform. This role involves cluster configuration,
troubleshooting, security compliance, and automating deployment
processes. The engineer will play a pivotal role in ensuring platform
reliability, security, and performance in a dynamic, fast-paced
environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Cluster Management & Deployment: Install, configure, and maintain
Red Hat OpenShift clusters, ensuring optimal performance and high
availability.

collaborating with development teams to support their workflows.
- Troubleshooting & Issue Resolution: Identify and resolve issues
related to OpenShift clusters, including networking, storage, and
application-level problems.
- Security Compliance: Implement and enforce security best practices,
including security hardening, RBAC policies, and encryption to
protect data and workloads.
- Automation & CI/CD: Develop and maintain automated deployment
pipelines using CI/CD tools to streamline application releases and
updates.
- Monitoring & Optimization: Set up monitoring solutions (e.g.,
Prometheus, Grafana, Nagios) and proactively tune system
performance.
- Documentation & Best Practices: Create and maintain comprehensive
documentation for configurations, processes, and operational
playbooks.
- Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing: Work with cross-functional teams
to ensure seamless integration of OpenShift into overall
infrastructure and development workflows.
Required Skills & Qualifications

balancing, and OpenShift networking (SDN, ingress controllers,
service mesh).
- Security Best Practices: Knowledge of container security, including
Security Context Constraints (SCC), RBAC, encryption, and
vulnerability scanning.
- DevOps & Automation: Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins,
GitLab CI), Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Ansible,
Terraform), and scripting languages (Bash, Python).
- Monitoring & Observability: Familiarity with monitoring tools
(Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack) for proactive troubleshooting and
performance optimization.
- Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving skills, collaborative mindset,
excellent communication, and ability to adapt to changing
priorities.
