Job Summary
Job Title: OpenShift DevOps Engineer
Job Summary: As an OpenShift DevOps Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, implementing,
and managing containerized infrastructure using Red Hat OpenShift. You will work closely with
development, operations, and security teams to streamline the deployment pipeline, automate
processes, and ensure the reliability and scalability of applications hosted on OpenShift. Your
expertise in containerization, automation, and cloud-native technologies will be instrumental in
driving continuous improvement and innovation in the organization's DevOps practices.
Key Responsibilities:
1. OpenShift Administration: Configure, deploy, and maintain Red Hat OpenShift clusters in
on-premises or cloud environments. Install updates, patches, and upgrades to ensure the
security and stability of OpenShift infrastructure.
2. Container Orchestration: Design and implement container orchestration strategies using
Kubernetes, leveraging OpenShift's features for managing containerized workloads, services,
and networking.
3. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): Set up and optimize CI/CD
pipelines for automating the build, test, and deployment processes of containerized
applications on OpenShift. Integrate OpenShift with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or
Tekton.
4. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define infrastructure configurations and deployments as code
using tools like Terraform, Ansible, or Helm charts. Implement version-controlled
infrastructure changes and ensure consistency across environments.
5. Monitoring and Logging: Implement monitoring and logging solutions to monitor the health,
performance, and availability of OpenShift clusters and applications. Utilize tools like
Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack for monitoring and log aggregation.
6. Security and Compliance: Implement security best practices for containerized
environments, including image scanning, network policies, RBAC, and compliance checks.
Ensure adherence to security standards and regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, PCI-DSS).
7. Capacity Planning and Scaling: Monitor resource utilization and performance metrics of
OpenShift clusters, and plan capacity upgrades or scaling operations based on workload
demands and growth projections.
8. Disaster Recovery and High Availability: Design and implement disaster recovery strategies
and high availability solutions for OpenShift clusters to minimize downtime and data loss in
the event of failures or disasters.
9. Collaboration and Documentation: Collaborate with development, operations, and security
teams to troubleshoot issues, resolve incidents, and implement improvements. Document
architecture, configurations, and processes for knowledge sharing and future reference.
10. Research and Innovation: Stay updated with the latest trends, technologies, and best
practices in DevOps, containerization, and cloud-native computing. Evaluate new tools and
methodologies to enhance the organization's DevOps practices and infrastructure.
Qualifications and Skills:
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field; relevant certifications
(e.g., Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration) preferred.
• Proven experience as a DevOps Engineer or Systems Administrator, with at least 3-5 years of
experience in managing containerized infrastructure and orchestrating workloads with
Kubernetes/OpenShift.
• Deep understanding of containerization concepts and technologies (Docker, Podman) and
container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift).
• Experience with automation tools and frameworks (e.g., Ansible, Terraform) for
infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and deployment automation.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Bash, Python) for automation and tooling
development.
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD principles and practices, with experience in setting up and
optimizing CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar tools.
• Familiarity with monitoring and logging solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack) for
monitoring containerized environments and applications.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively in a
fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally
and communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
This job profile outlines the key responsibilities, qualifications, and skills required for an OpenShift
DevOps Engineer position. Successful candidates will play a critical role in designing,
implementing, and managing containerized infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines using Red Hat
OpenShift and related technologies
