Opticca Consulting is seeking a highly experienced Senior OpenShift Engineer to design, deploy, secure, operate, and continuously improve enterprise Red Hat OpenShift environments.

The role requires a hands-on engineer who can move comfortably between platform architecture, installation, infrastructure integration, automation, day-2 operations, and complex production troubleshooting.

Lead or support cluster installation, expansion, configuration, upgrades, patching, lifecycle management, and disaster-recovery readiness.
Engineer highly available control-plane, infrastructure, ingress, compute, and storage-node topologies aligned with workload and failure-domain requirements.
Integrate OpenShift with enterprise networking, DNS, load balancers, firewalls, proxies, registries, identity providers, PKI, secrets-management, and storage platforms.
Configure and troubleshoot cluster networking, routes, ingress controllers, network policies, service connectivity, certificates, and east-west/north-south traffic flows.
Implement platform security controls, including RBAC, Security Context Constraints, compliance profiles, image governance, vulnerability management, audit logging, and cluster hardening.
Build repeatable platform deployment and operational workflows using Ansible, GitOps, Terraform, Helm, operators, and CI/CD pipelines.
Establish monitoring, logging, alerting, capacity management, backup, recovery, and operational runbooks using enterprise observability tooling.
Diagnose complex incidents involving etcd, operators, nodes, containers, networking, storage, performance, scheduling, and platform dependencies.
Produce architecture documents, implementation plans, configuration standards, as-built documentation, and knowledge-transfer materials; mentor client and internal teams.

Five or more years of Linux infrastructure experience, including at least three years of hands-on OpenShift or Kubernetes platform engineering in enterprise environments.

Deep practical understanding of Linux, containers, TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, load balancing, firewalls, routing, and software-defined networking.
Experience integrating enterprise storage through CSI; familiarity with block, file, object, and software-defined storage patterns.
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot high-impact production issues methodically and communicate findings clearly to technical and business stakeholders.
Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code, configuration management, scripting, source control, and automated delivery practices.
