Talent International is partnering with a leading technology organisation to bring on a Senior Open Shift Platform Engineer for a major enterprise platform engagement.
You won't simply be maintaining an existing Open Shift environment. You'll help automate and evolve a Container-as-a-Service platform, working across
Red Hat Open Shift, Kubernetes, Ansible, Argo CD, ZTP, ACM and advanced networking .
A key focus will be onboarding platform and cloud-native network functions (CNFs), while building the automation and standardisation needed to operate the environment effectively at scale.
You’ll work closely with architecture, network and automation specialists, giving you exposure across the broader platform rather than being restricted to one narrow area of Open Shift.
