Infrastructure Engineer (OpenShift)

Location: Jersey City, NJ Duration: 6+ Months (Contract to hire) Open to relocate will work

Job Description: We are seeking a highly skilled Infrastructure Engineer (OpenShift) with strong engineering and design experience. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of virtualization technologies and Kubernetes platforms, with the ability to design and build scalable infrastructure solutions from the ground up. This role is focused on engineering and product development, not day-to-day operations or CI/CD implementations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and build core infrastructure platforms to support enterprise applications and services.
• Architect and implement new Kubernetes clusters, with a focus on space planning, scalability, and performance.
• Lead the design and setup of virtualized environments using OpenShift (on KVM hypervisors) and VMware ESXi.
• Define and implement infrastructure best practices and standards across the organization.
• Work closely with application architects and product teams to align infrastructure design with business needs.
• Provide subject matter expertise in Linux-based infrastructure and automation where required (without a DevOps focus).

Required Skills and Experience:

• Strong engineering background in infrastructure architecture and systems design.
• Hands-on experience with building Kubernetes infrastructure (not just operating it).
• Deep knowledge of OpenShift in engineering/design context, including usage on KVM hypervisors.
• Expertise in VMware hypervisor environments (ESXi).
• Solid experience with Linux systems engineering.
• Proven ability to design and build platforms/products—not just support or deploy them.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

Nice to Have (Preferred):

• Experience integrating infrastructure with CI/CD pipelines (as an advisor, not executor).
• Familiarity with hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environments.
• Exposure to infrastructure automation (Terraform, Ansible) at an architectural level.
