Role Overview

You will be the cloud domain architect and lead the design and evolution of Openshift, cloud and large-scale Kubernetes-based platforms, working at the intersection of architecture, engineering, and strategy. This role goes beyond defining solutions — you will drive how platforms are built, scaled, and operated, partnering closely with engineering teams while influencing key technical decisions across domains. You’ll play a central role in pushing forward a Kubernetes-first, cloud-native vision, ensuring systems meet the highest standards of resilience, scalability, and performance, while remaining pragmatic and production-ready.

Responsibilities

• Own and drive the architecture of Openshift, Kubernetes-based platforms, from design to real-world production.
• Translate complex business and product needs into clear, scalable technical solutions (HLD/LLD).
• Set direction and best practices across cloud-native, containerized environments.
• Act as a technical leader, influencing decisions and guiding engineering teams.
• Support teams on implementation, optimization, and troubleshooting in production.
• Continuously improve platform capabilities across CI/CD, observability, and security, ISTIO.

Qualifications

• Senior-level architect with strong experience designing and running cloud-native distributed systems at scale, with deep expertise in Openshift, Docker and Kubernetes in production environments.
• Combines hands-on technical depth with strategic thinking, comfortable in complex environments where performance, reliability, and scalability are critical.
• Strong expertise in Kubernetes, containers, and cloud-native architectures, hands on experience in Openshift with troubleshooting knowledge, ISTIO.
• Experience with distributed systems and microservices at scale.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD (ideally GitOps), Linux, networking, and security.
• Proven ability to influence technical decisions and lead through expertise.
• Exposure to telecom platforms, service mesh, observability tools, or infrastructure as code is a plus.
