Requirements

Job Description : EOS design and Architect Role.

We are seeking an experienced OpenShift Architecture and Migration Design Specialist to lead the design, planning, and execution of OpenShift architectures and migration strategies. The ideal candidate will have expertise in designing robust, scalable, and secure OpenShift environments, as well as creating and implementing migration plans for transitioning workloads and applications to OpenShift. Experience with VMware and Pure Storage is essential to ensure seamless integration with existing infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

• Design the target architecture for OpenShift, including cluster topology, networking, and storage solutions.
• Define and implement best practices for OpenShift cluster setup, including multi‑zone and multi‑region deployments.
• Ensure the architecture supports high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery.
• Migration Design and Optimization:
  • Assess existing infrastructure, applications, and workloads to determine migration readiness.
  • Develop detailed migration plans, including strategies for containerization, workload transfer, and data migration.
  • Implement migration processes, ensuring minimal downtime and disruption to business operations.
  • Identify and mitigate risks associated with the migration process.
• VMware and Pure Storage Integration design:
  • Design and implement OpenShift solutions that integrate seamlessly with VMware virtualized environments.
  • Leverage VMware tools (e.g., vSphere, vCenter, NSX) to optimize OpenShift deployments.
  • Configure and manage Pure Storage solutions (e.g., FlashArray, FlashBlade) to provide high-performance, scalable storage for OpenShift workloads.
  • Ensure compatibility and performance optimization between OpenShift, VMware, and Pure Storage.
• CI/CD Pipelines and DevOps Workflows:
  • Design and implement CI/CD pipelines tailored for the OpenShift environment.
  • Integrate DevOps workflows with OpenShift-native tools and third‑party solutions.
  • Automate deployment, scaling, and monitoring processes to streamline application delivery.
• Scalability and Security:
  • Ensure the architecture and migration plans are scalable to meet future growth and workload demands.
  • Implement security best practices, including RBAC, network policies, and encryption.
  • Conduct regular security assessments and audits to maintain compliance with organizational standards.
• Collaboration and Documentation:
  • Work closely with development, DevOps, and operations teams to align architecture and migration plans with business needs.
  • Provide detailed documentation of the architecture, migration strategies, workflows, and configurations.
  • Offer technical guidance and training to teams on OpenShift architecture, migration, and best practices.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Strong experience in designing and implementing OpenShift architectures and migration strategies.
• In-depth knowledge of Kubernetes, containerization, and orchestration.
• Expertise in VMware tools and technologies (e.g., vSphere, vCenter, NSX).
• Hands‑on experience with Pure Storage solutions (e.g., FlashArray, FlashBlade).
• Expertise in networking concepts (e.g., ingress, load balancing, DNS) and storage solutions (e.g., persistent volumes, dynamic provisioning).
• Hands‑on experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, Github, ArgoCD) and DevOps workflows.
• Strong understanding of high availability, scalability, and security principles in cloud-native environments.
• Proven experience in workload and application migration to OpenShift or similar platforms.
• Proficiency in scripting and automation (e.g., Bash, Python, Ansible, Terraform).
• Excellent problem‑solving and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• OpenShift certifications (e.g., Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration).
• Experience with multi‑cluster and hybrid cloud OpenShift deployments.
• Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., oTel, Grafana, Splunk stack).
• Knowledge of OpenShift Operators and Helm charts.
• Experience with large‑scale migration projects.
