Im recruiting for a Lead Platform Architect to take ownership of the architecture and evolution of large-scale Red Hat OpenShift platforms supporting business-critical services within complex enterprise environments.

This isnt a hands- on engineering role. Its an opportunity to define platform strategy, influence technical direction, and ensure enterprise OpenShift platforms remain secure, resilient and scalable as they continue to evolve.

Were looking for someone with experience in:

• Commercial OpenShift platform architecture (essential)
• Enterprise Kubernetes platform architecture and platform lifecycle management
• Designing, evolving and governing production container platforms
• Platform engineering, microservices and cloud-native technologies
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), CI/CD and automation
• Hybrid cloud and/or on-premise platform environments
• High availability, resilience, disaster recovery and platform security
• Working within large enterprise, managed services or regulated environments

This role would suit someone who has moved beyond implementation and enjoys solving platform-wide challenges, setting architectural standards, shaping long-term platform strategy and working closely with engineering teams to evolve enterprise platforms.

Please note: Applicants must be Sole UK Nationals and eligible to obtain SC Security Clearance (active SC is advantageous).

If this sounds like something youd be interested in, or youd like to find out more, feel free to get in touch for a confidential conversation. xjlbheb
