What you will do:
• Lead migration projects to move workloads from legacy platforms ( on-prem running on KVM/VMware/Openstack, on-prem Kubernetes, OpenShift 3.x) to OpenShift 4.x.
• Assess and optimize monolithic applications for containerization and microservices architecture.
• Develop strategies for stateful and stateless application migrations with minimal downtime.
• Work with developers and architects to refactor or replatform applications for cloud-native environments.
• Implement migration automation using Ansible, Helm, or OpenShift GitOps (ArgoCD/FluxCD).
• Design, deploy, and manage scalable, highly available OpenShift clusters across on-prem and cloud.
• Implement multi-cluster, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud OpenShift architectures.
• Define resource quotas, auto-scaling policies, and workload optimizations for performance tuning.
• Oversee OpenShift upgrades, patching, and lifecycle management.
The skills you bring:
• Deep hands-on experience with Red Hat OpenShift (OCP 4.x+), Kubernetes, and Docker.
• Strong knowledge of application migration strategies (Lift & Shift, Replatforming, Refactoring).
• Proficiency in cloud-native application development and microservices.
• Expertise in Cloud Platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) with OpenShift deployments.
• Advanced scripting and automation using Bash, Python, Ansible, or Terraform.
• Experience with GitOps methodologies (ArgoCD, FluxCD) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• Certifications (Preferred but not Mandatory):
• Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration (EX280)
