Position Purpose:

DevOps who own the design, automation, and operation of our container native (Openstack & OpenShift) and virtualized infrastructure that underpins critical banking applications. The ideal candidate brings 8 10 years of hands-on experience in Openstack & OpenShift, enterprise virtualization, and infrastructure as code, with strong Python and Terraform skills, and a proven track record of delivering secure, high throughput solutions for financial institutions.

Primary Responsibilities:-

Essential:

· OpenStack Server Administration

· Good knowledge of Linux (Red Hat, Suse, Ubuntu...) and some notions on Windows operating systems.

· Skill in virtualization (KVM) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)

· Knowledge on Server Networking

· Openstack Core services Nova, Cinder, Neutron(OVN & OVS), Glance, Keystone as well as knowledge on RabbitMQ

· Physical Server maintenance on DELL or HP servers

· Scripting Skills such as Ansible, Python & Shell Scripting

· Customer service-oriented skills.

Secondary Skills (Open Shift) :-

- Develop, deploy, and manage production grade Red Hat OpenShift clusters (multi-AZ, hybrid cloud, and edge) that satisfy banking grade SLAs for availability, latency, and security.
- Design, provision, and maintain virtualized compute/storage/network layers (VMware vSphere, KVM, Hyper V, or similar) that host OpenShift and legacy workloads.
- Automate the full lifecycle of infrastructure and applications using Terraform, Python scripts, and configuration management tools (Ansible, Chef, Puppet).
- Implement CI/CD pipelines (GitOps – Argo CD, Tekton, Jenkins, GitLab CI) for containerized banking services, enabling zero downtime releases and roll backs.
- Embed security & compliance (PCI DSS, ISO 27001, RBI/CBI) through policy as code, RBAC, network segmentation, secret management, and automated vulnerability scanning.
- Monitor, observe, and troubleshoot performance (Prometheus, Grafana, Thanos, Elastic, Jaeger) across OpenShift, VMs, and underlying hardware; lead RCA and continuous improvement initiatives.

Proxmox :-

- Experience migrating workloads from VMware (ESXi) to Proxmox.
- Knowledge of Containerization (LXC and Docker/Kubernetes).
- Relevant certifications in Linux (LFCS/LFCE)



or Cloud Infrastructure.
- Experience working in highly regulated or large-scale enterprise environments.

Contributing Responsibilities

- Collaborate with application & security teams to containerize monolithic banking apps, optimize resource requests/limits, and enforce DevOps best practices.
- Drive GitOps and IaC standards across the organization; create reusable Terraform modules, Python libraries, and operator patterns for repeatable deployments.
- Mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews, and champion a culture of automation, observability, and reliability.
- Stay current with emerging OpenShift features, virtualization trends, and AI Ops tools that can add value to the bank’s digital transformation.
