Red Hat OpenShift Engineer

About this role

Job Overview :

We are building a high-performance, multi-tenant OpenShift cluster on bare metal in our AI-optimized data center. Our goal is to offer OpenShift as a Service to private AI-focused clients who wish to host their compute-intensive workloads in a scalable, secure, and isolated environment.

We’re looking for a hands-on Red Hat OpenShift Engineer who can design, architect, and implement this platform from scratch using industry best practices. Once the cluster is built, this role will also lead the migration of existing on-prem and Azure workloads to the new OpenShift environment.

Lead and execute migration of existing workloads from on-premise and Azure environments to OpenShift

Ensure smooth onboarding for multiple AI-focused client tenants with isolated environments

Support DevOps team with advanced Linux/OpenShift troubleshooting

Implement and enforce RBAC, tenant isolation, resource quotas, and compliance controls

Optimize performance for AI-heavy workloads running on GPU-enabled infrastructure

Own operational stability, platform upgrades, and monitoring

Required Skills & Experience

5+ years of deep hands-on experience with Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes

Proven experience designing, building, and managing bare metal OpenShift clusters

Solid understanding of Linux internals, container runtimes, networking, and troubleshooting

Experience with application migration from both on-premise and Azure environments into OpenShift

Strong experience with multi-tenancy architecture, including workload isolation and security

Familiarity with storage (CSI), networking (CNI), and service mesh implementations

Proficiency in monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK)

Strong documentation and communication skills

Certifications (Required)

Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration

Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) or equivalent Linux certification

Nice to Have

Familiarity with AI/ML compute environments (e.g., GPU workloads, NVIDIA operators)

Experience with hybrid cloud or edge computing models

Exposure to enterprise-grade security, compliance, and policy enforcement

Work Hours (preferred)

Must be available daily from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM IST for core implementation and support activities
