THE OPPORTUNITY

Join a high-impact team leading one of the largest OpenShift Virtualization migrations in the federal space. As an OpenShift Virtualization Engineer, you'll help design, deploy, and operate a multi-tier Red Hat OpenShift environment while supporting the migration of approximately 10,000 virtual machines from VMware ESXi to OpenShift Virtualization across a large-scale, on-premises infrastructure. This role combines platform engineering, virtualization expertise, automation, and infrastructure modernization in a highly regulated environment.

HOW YOU'LL MAKE AN IMPACT

  • Design, deploy, and support Red Hat OpenShift clusters across a hub-and-spoke architecture, including global hubs, site hubs, and distributed workload clusters.
  • Lead large-scale migrations of Windows and RHEL virtual machines from VMware ESXi v7/v8 to OpenShift Virtualization using the Red Hat Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV).
  • Translate VMware networking, resource pools, folders, tags, and VM configurations into OpenShift Virtualization and Kubernetes equivalents.
  • Troubleshoot migration issues, perform rollback procedures when necessary, and support migration cutovers during scheduled evening or weekend maintenance windows.
  • Deploy and manage core OpenShift platform services including Dynatrace, NetApp Trident, Splunk, Commvault, and the OpenShift Compliance Operator.
  • Build and maintain infrastructure automation and deployment pipelines using Ansible, Git, Quay, AutoShift, and GitOps methodologies.
  • Integrate enterprise secrets management solutions such as HashiCorp Vault or CyberArk into the platform.
  • Troubleshoot bare-metal infrastructure, including server hardware and out-of-band management platforms such as Cisco UCS/Intersight, Dell iDRAC, and HPE iLO.
  • Participate in Agile delivery, managing work through JIRA while following formal ServiceNow change management processes.
  • Maintain migration tracking and operational reporting using SharePoint Lists and support executive reporting through Power BI and other reporting tools.
  • Partner with infrastructure, security, and compliance teams to ensure platform accreditation and regulatory compliance.
  • Create technical documentation, migration runbooks, architecture diagrams, and operational procedures while providing technical leadership and mentoring across the team.

SKILLS THAT DRIVE SUCCESS

  • Experience designing, deploying, and administering Red Hat OpenShift in enterprise environments.
  • Strong VMware ESXi/vSphere administration experience, including networking, resource pools, tagging, and virtualization infrastructure.
  • Hands-on experience leading or supporting enterprise-scale virtual machine migrations.
  • Experience with Red Hat Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV), OpenShift Virtualization (KubeVirt), or similar migration technologies.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across virtualization, networking, storage, and infrastructure platforms.
  • Experience implementing and maintaining OpenShift Compliance Operator and compliance remediation processes.
  • Proficiency with infrastructure automation using Ansible, Git, GitOps, and container registries such as Quay.
  • Experience with enterprise secrets management platforms including HashiCorp Vault, CyberArk, or similar solutions.
  • Experience administering or supporting bare-metal server platforms and hardware management tools.
  • Experience working within Agile methodologies using JIRA, ServiceNow, SharePoint, and reporting tools such as Power BI.
  • Ability to analyze large datasets to monitor migration progress, identify risks, and communicate project status.
