TL;DR · Lead Associate Principal, Kubernetes Services

As the Lead Associate Principal, Kubernetes Services, you will join the team to manage the design, support, and automation of the virtualization environment. You will be responsible for maintaining existing and future computing and VDI architectures while enhancing security postures through vulnerability remediation. Your daily work involves developing scalable infrastructure-as-code for bare-metal and virtualized systems, integrating software-defined storage with ACM and Red Hat Satellite, and building cloud-native developer platforms. You will utilize a technical stack including VMWare VSphere, OCP, KubeVirt, IBM MQ, Gradle, Quest, Jenkins, and Ansible to automate pipelines and manage migrations. Additionally, you will develop REST API integrations and custom IDE configurations for tools like RStudio and JMeter. This role solves complex problems regarding systems integration, platform compatibility, and infrastructure lifecycle management across both Kubernetes and non-Kubernetes environments.

What you'll do

  • Design, support, and automate the virtualization environment including VMWare, VXRail, and OpenShift platforms.
  • Develop scalable infrastructure-as-code for bare-metal and virtualized lifecycle management using software-defined storage.
  • Create cloud-native REST API integrations and automation frameworks for end-to-end pipeline execution across Kubernetes environments.
  • Build cloud-native developer platform environments including custom IDE configurations and automated deployments via ArgoCD.
  • Formulate virtualization and migration strategies between VMWare vSphere and OpenShift using KubeVirt and IBM MQ.
  • Remediate security vulnerabilities and develop baselines to enhance the overall security posture of computing architectures.
  • Troubleshoot production performance issues, system integrations, and multi-platform compatibility problems.
  • Provide disaster recovery testing support and maintain technical documentation for policies and procedures.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related field.
  • At least five years of experience as a software developer, solutions architect, lead developer, or related role.
  • Experience designing and developing scalable infrastructure-as-code for bare-metal and virtualized infrastructure life cycles.
  • Experience with software-defined storage and integration with ACM, Red Hat Satellite, and Infinidat/Cloudian CSI drivers.
  • Experience developing cloud-native REST API integrations and automation frameworks using Gradle, Quest, Jenkins, or Ansible.
  • Experience building custom IDE configurations, workspace images, and automating deployments using DevSpaces, OpenShift, and ArgoCD.
  • Experience formulating virtualization strategies for VMWare VSphere and OCP, including migration strategies and event-driven messaging integrations.
