Senior Platform Engineer

About the Assignment
Our client is building a new, enterprise-grade OpenShift container platform deployed on Bare Metal infrastructure. This initiative requires a highly skilled engineer with end-to-end experience in designing, integrating, and delivering OpenShift platforms, not just maintaining them.

The challenge lies in the seamless integration of multiple advanced technologies, including:

• Security: AquaSec

• Observability: Splunk

• Storage: Portworx

• Networking: CISCO components, Load Balancers, and BGP

• Platform Management: ROSA (Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS), Advanced Cluster Manager

Responsibilities

• Build and deploy a fully integrated Bare Metal OpenShift platform ready for production use

• Lead the technical integration of critical components (security, storage, monitoring, networking)

• Collaborate across teams to ensure alignment with enterprise infrastructure standards

• Establish clear benchmarks for platform performance, observability, and reliability

• Troubleshoot complex platform issues from design through to operations

• Contribute to future-proofing and continuous improvement of the platform

Must-Have Skills

• Extensive hands-on experience in building OpenShift platforms from scratch (Bare Metal preferred)

• Deep technical expertise with ROSA, Advanced Cluster Manager, Portworx, Splunk, AquaSec

• Strong understanding of enterprise networking (including BGP, ACI) and infrastructure integrations

• Demonstrated ability to define monitoring and performance standards for container platforms

• Strong analytical skills, proactive attitude, and innovative thinking

Why This Opportunity Is Unique
This is not a traditional platform maintenance role. Our client is looking for someone who can lead the build of a complex OpenShift environment from the ground up, someone who brings depth, initiative, and architectural thinking to the table.

Additional Insight
CVs often list tools and technologies at a surface level. We're seeking professionals who can demonstrate deep implementation experience, such as:

• Configuring BGP routing in a Bare Metal OpenShift cluster within an ACI network

• Deploying and managing Advanced Cluster Manager on ROSA for Bare Metal environments

• Setting up and standardizing platform performance monitoring and alerting
