Role Overview
We are seeking a solution-focused Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with deep expertise in OpenShift Virtualization (KubeVirt) and bare metal foundations.
This role prioritizes architectural understanding and ownership over tool-specific experience, with a strong emphasis on on-premises OpenShift VM platforms.

Core Responsibilities

Ensure platform reliability, scalability, and operational excellence.
Act as a technical consultant, providing architectural guidance and solution design.
Collaborate with application, platform, and infrastructure teams to deliver resilient solutions.
Core Competencies
Deep knowledge of OpenShift architecture and Operator lifecycle management.
Strong understanding of application deployment patterns on OpenShift.
Hands-on experience with OpenShift Virtualization (KubeVirt) and bare metal environments.
Strong problem-solving ability in complex, on-premises environments.
Leadership & Behavioral Qualities
Demonstrates ownership and accountability for platform outcomes.
Able to navigate ambiguity and complex enterprise environments.
Acts as a trusted technical advisor and solution consultant.
Tools & Technologies (Secondary)
