Platform Engineer - Openshift
About The Position
Job Purpose If your idea of “platform engineering” is more than spinning plates and reacting to alerts, we’re already thinking alike. You’ve seen it before, platforms that are technically “running,” but barely healthy. Applications deployed without visibility. Scaling treated like a gamble. Teams trying to build great software without the right support underneath them. At BuildOn Technologies, we believe platforms should empower teams, not fight them. We’re looking for someone who can make OpenShift excellence more than a talking point. Someone who wants to shape how applications are deployed, monitored, secured, and supported, and knows how to do it thoughtfully. We need a collaborative professional who understands Kubernetes concepts, observability, and real-world platform operations. If you’re still growing, we’ll help you build that expertise, but you should come ready to learn quickly and own meaningful work. Your Mission You’ll help lead the developer-facing side of our OpenShift Kubernetes platform, not just keeping it running, but making it great to use. You’ll partner with development teams, Systems, and IT to ensure applications are deployed securely, monitored effectively, and supported with the right level of performance and reliability. Primary Duties & Responsibilities What You’ll Be Doing (And Loving Every Minute of It):
Requirements
- Knowledge and hands-on experience with Kubernetes concepts.
- Familiarity with containerization (Docker, container-based workflows).
- Understanding of DevOps practices and modern delivery environments.
- Interest or experience in monitoring, observability, and telemetry.
- Someone who enjoys guiding developers and supporting better deployments.
- Curiosity, humility, and willingness to learn OpenShift deeply.
Nice To Haves
- Professional experience with OpenShift or Kubernetes in production, DevOps-oriented experience, certifications in cloud-native or Red Hat technologies
- Experience with Open Telemetry, Elastic Stack, Prometheus, or Grafana
- Familiarity with CI/CD, GitOps, or infrastructure-as-code tooling
Responsibilities
- Helping development teams build and refine OpenShift deployment configurations that actually work in production
- Using both the CLI and the OpenShift web console to support application management and troubleshooting.
- Configuring application security including RBAC, secrets management, and TLS certificates.
- Monitoring application performance and ensuring resources are allocated intentionally.
- Supporting observability by helping teams leverage Open Telemetry for meaningful metrics and tracing.
- Managing and supporting logging and metrics platforms including Elastic Stack and Prometheus.
- Configuring scaling strategies that make sense for the workload and business needs.
- Partnering with IT to ensure clusters are healthy, right-sized, and prepared for growth.
- Supporting disaster recovery readiness alongside IT leadership.
