Enterprise Architect - Virtualization

Enterprise Architect -Virtualization Practice Area Enterprise Architecture -Virtualization Horizon VDI architecture is a plus. Open

Shift: Open Shift Container Platform (OCP) architecture and installation (IPI/UPI), cluster networking (SDN/OVN‑Kubernetes), and multi‑cluster design. Open

Shift Virtualization: Kube Virt‑based VM‑to‑container consolidation strategy and implementation. Open

Stack: Red Hat Open Stack Platform (RHOSP) architecture, deployment, and lifecycle operations.

Automation: Red Hat Satellite and Ansible Automation Platform for lifecycle and configuration management.

Containers ability to run technical workshops and own low‑level design documentation to a professional‑services standard.

Architecture Governance VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP) strongly preferred.

Red Hat Certified Specialist in Open Shift Administration required; Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA) strongly preferred.

Red Hat Certified Specialist in Open Stack Administration -required or clearly demonstrated equivalent experience.

Adjacent Technical Skills (Beneficial, Not Required) Depth in the specialist area above is mandatory.

Experience in the following adjacent domains is a strong plus and will be valued in candidate evaluation, since it enables broader solution ownership across engagements.

Public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), particularly hybrid and cloud‑adjacent private cloud designs.

Networking (routing/switching, data center fabric) given the tight coupling with NSX/OVN‑Kubernetes design.

Storage architecture beyond v SAN/Ceph, including traditional SAN/NAS platforms.

Security architecture, particularly micro‑segmentation and platform hardening.

AI infrastructure exposure, as GPU‑enabled virtualization and Open Shift AI are an increasing share of client demand.

Backup and DR platforms (Veeam, Rubrik, or equivalent).
