Role:
As a Senior OpenShift Platform Specialist, you are the technical authority for containerised platforms that customers rely on in their daily business. Your focus is on Kubernetes and OpenShift. Here you combine solid Linux fundamentals with modern orchestration. You actively shape projects from the initial idea to the productive environment. Availability, performance, and security are not just buzzwords for you but craftsmanship.
Responsibilities:
You plan microservice architectures, advise teams professionally, and bring the services cleanly into production.
You take on the conception, setup, and configuration of Kubernetes and OpenShift environments through to ongoing operation.
Furthermore, you build data platforms based on MongoDB, Apache Kafka, and PostgreSQL and keep them stable.
You further develop complex infrastructures and make them more robust, secure, and faster.
Together with architects, project managers, and customers, you implement new solutions conceptually and technically.
In addition, you cover systems engineering tasks in your areas of expertise.
Qualifications:
A completed computer science degree at a university, university of applied sciences, or ETH forms your basis.
You have worked for at least five years in Linux systems engineering, for example with Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), or Debian, and ideally hold relevant certificates.
Container orchestration with OpenShift and Kubernetes is your lived practice.
Ideally, you automate with Ansible, write scripts in Perl or Bash, and are familiar with VMware vSphere as well as server, storage, and backup solutions.
Furthermore, you use AI-supported development tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or GitHub Copilot purposefully in your daily work.
Additionally, you have a structured, independent working style. You remain eager to learn, communicate clearly, and assert yourself even in discussions.
