OpenShift Consultant

About the role

An OpenShift Consultant is needed to deploy, manage and support enterprise Red Hat OpenShift platforms for customers in Singapore. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role covering platform implementation, ongoing operations and collaboration with customer infrastructure and application teams. The ideal candidate has strong Linux administration and Kubernetes experience.

Key responsibilities

• Install and configure Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.x on-premises or in the cloud, assess prerequisites (compute, Linux, networking, DNS, load balancing, storage, certificates) and work with IPI and UPI methods.
• Configure cluster networking, ingress, routes, storage, authentication, RBAC and Operators, then validate readiness and prepare deployment documentation and handover materials.
• Perform day-2 operations: health checks, monitoring, capacity management, upgrades, patching, node maintenance, scaling, backups and restores, and incident investigation.
• Deploy and configure OpenShift Virtualization, including VMs, templates, boot images, Multus networking, storage integration, VM live migration and migration from VMware using the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization.
• Automate deployment and maintenance tasks with Ansible, Bash or Python, and maintain documentation, SOPs and runbooks.
• Deliver knowledge transfer and support customer teams during handover.

Required profile

• 6-8 years of overall IT experience, with a strong background in Linux administration and Kubernetes platform operations.
• At least 2 years of hands-on OpenShift experience, including deployment and day-2 operations; application deployment alone is not enough.
• Clear communication and the ability to work directly with customer technical teams.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

Required skills

• Hands-on OpenShift Container Platform 4.x and OpenShift Virtualization, including KubeVirt, KVM and VM live migration.
• Linux administration, preferably RHEL, and familiarity with RHEL CoreOS.
• Kubernetes architecture and resources, cluster upgrades, Operators and production incident troubleshooting.
• Networking basics (DNS, TCP/IP, load balancers, TLS certificates) and storage concepts (StorageClasses, CSI drivers).
• Platform security (RBAC, SCCs) and command-line tools (oc, kubectl, YAML, Git).
• Preferred: bare-metal or air-gapped deployments, MTV migrations, Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management, Argo CD, Prometheus/Grafana, and RHCSA/RHCE or CKA certification.
