Infrastructure Engineer

Hyderabad, India Office Full TimePosted Jul 16, 2026

Overview

We are seeking a high-caliber Infrastructure Engineer to join our Security & DevSecOps squad. In this role, you will translate architectural visions into robust, executable designs for on-premises OpenShift clusters and underlying hardware abstractions. We are looking for a systems expert who can work independently to manage the complexity of bare-metal OpenShift deployments and mission-critical storage.

Our Core Infrastructure Stack

OpenShift Platform & Virtualization

  • OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) administration on bare-metal/on-prem environments

  • ·OpenShift Virtualization for managing VM-based workloads alongside containers

  • ·RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) advanced system administration and performance tuning

    Networking & Storage

  • · OpenShift Networking (Software Defined Networking / OVN-Kubernetes)

  • · OpenShift Data Foundation (ODF) for persistent, software-defined storage

  • · Load balancing, ingress controllers, and DNS management within a restricted network

    Security & Observability

  • · Cluster Security (Security Context Constraints (SCC), RBAC, Network Policies)

  • · Monitoring & Alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager)

  • · Disaster Recovery (DR) and high-availability (HA) planning for stateful workloads

  • Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Ansible/OpenTofu) for cluster day-2 operations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Convert high-level blueprints into detailed cluster specs, including IP address management (IPAM), storage topology, and VLAN tagging for bare-metal OCP.

  • Bare-Metal Administration: Independently lead the installation, scaling, and lifecycle management of OpenShift on physical hardware, including firmware updates and node provisioning.

  • Storage Orchestration: Architect and manage OpenShift Data Foundation (ODF), ensuring persistent storage is highly available and performant for simulation databases.

  • Network Engineering: Design and troubleshoot complex OVN-Kubernetes network patterns, ensuring secure and low-latency communication between simulation services.

  • OpenShift Virtualization: Lead the migration and management of legacy VM workloads into OpenShift, providing a unified control plane for the digital twin ecosystem.

  • Cluster Security Hardening: Implement and enforce strict SCC and RBAC policies, ensuring the platform complies with global security benchmarks and the squad's DevSecOps standards.

  • Monitoring & DR: Establish comprehensive monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana and independently design and test Disaster Recovery scenarios to ensure zero-data-loss targets.

  • Autonomous Troubleshooting: Act as the final escalation point for cluster-level performance issues, networking bottlenecks, or storage failures, resolving them without external guidance.

Preferred Qualifications

  • ·6 to 8 years of experience in Infrastructure Engineering or Systems Administration.

  • Expert-level mastery of Red Hat OpenShift (OCP); Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration/Automation is highly preferred.

  • Deep experience in Bare-Metal deployments and RHEL administration.

  • Hands-on proficiency with OpenShift Data Foundation (ODF) and OpenShift Virtualization.

  • Strong understanding of Kubernetes Networking (SDN/OVN) and security constructs (Network Policies).

  • Demonstrated ability to work independently on complex hardware-to-software integration projects.

Highly Desirable

  • Experience supporting high-compute Digital Twin or Simulation environments.

  • Experience with backup solutions for OpenShift (Velero or OADP).

  • Experience in managing on-premises infrastructure for global product engineering hubs.

  • Exposure to industrial domains such as Manufacturing, Logistics, or Transportation is a plus.

  • Exposure to CI/CD and platform automation tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitOps practices to better align with DevSecOps operating models.

  • Hybrid-cloud exposure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) as a preferred qualification
