Senior Lead Infrastructure Engineer — On Prem OpenShift Platform

We're looking for a talented, senior engineering professional ready to take

their career to new heights at one of the world's most influential companies.

As a Senior Lead Infrastructure Engineer at JPMorgan Chase within Enterprise

Technology Compute Infrastructure Platforms team, you will design, engineer, and

operate an on-premises OpenShift-based platform that hosts both containers and

virtual machines (e.g., OpenShift Virtualization / KubeVirt). You will own the

underlying infrastructure and OpenShift cluster foundations, compute, hypervisor

platforms, operating systems, networking, storage, security controls, and

reliability enabling product teams to deploy workloads safely, consistently, and

efficiently. This is an infrastructure engineering role focused on platform

lifecycle and reliability, partnering closely with hardware engineering,

networking, storage, security, identity/access, and platform consumers.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

* Design OpenShift cluster architectures (on-premises and/or hybrid) to meet

availability, scalability, security, and operability requirements.

* Build and operate OpenShift clusters end-to-end, including install, upgrade,

patching, scaling, resilience testing as well as virtualization capabilities

supporting VM lifecycle (images/templates and relevant hardware acceleration

concepts such as SR-IOV/DPDK/GPU passthrough, where applicable).

* Engineer the platform to support both Kubernetes workloads and VM workloads,

including capacity planning, performance management, placement strategies,

and HA/DR considerations.

* Own Linux platform fundamentals (e.g., RHEL/CoreOS concepts, kernel/sysctl

tuning, certificates, and identity integration basics) required for reliable

cluster operations.

* Implement and troubleshoot core networking capabilities (routing/switching

fundamentals, DNS, L4/L7 concepts, load balancing, firewalling, segmentation,

and packet-path analysis).

* Integrate storage services for container and VM workloads (block/file/object

concepts, CSI drivers, performance and failure modes, and backup/restore

approaches).

* Drive reliability practices including observability, incident response,

root-cause analysis, and preventative improvements across the platform

lifecycle.

* Develop runbooks, standards, and reference architectures; lead operational

readiness reviews and post-incident actions.

* Uses enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to

accelerate analysis of complex infrastructure signals and documentation of

mitigation options, validating outputs and handling operational data

according to sensitivity and security requirements.

* Leads reuse-first adoption of AI-assisted practices across delivery and

automation routines to reduce recurring issues, ensuring changes are

validated, traceable and auditable, and aligned to resiliency and security

expectations.

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

* Formal training or certification on infrastructure engineering concepts and

5+ years applied experience.

* Hands-on administration of Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes in production

environments (e.g., install/upgrade patterns such as IPI/UPI, Operators,

SCC/RBAC, cluster operators, ingress).

* Experience operating Kubernetes/container platforms through day-2 operations

(upgrades, scaling, troubleshooting, and platform lifecycle management).

* Experience with OpenShift Virtualization / KubeVirt (or equivalent

VM-on-Kubernetes) and VM/container co-tenancy design considerations.

* Strong Linux administration and troubleshooting experience (e.g., system

performance, certificates, OS configuration, and cluster node operations).

* Demonstrated troubleshooting depth in at least two of the following domains:

networking, storage, virtualization.

* Experience designing and operating highly available platforms, including

capacity management, incident handling, root-cause analysis, and remediation

tracking.

* Experience partnering with security/compliance stakeholders on hardening,

RBAC, secrets/certificates handling, and vulnerability management aligned to

secure-by-default configurations.

* Experience implementing infrastructure automation and configuration-as-code

practices (e.g., Ansible/Terraform/GitOps patterns) with traceability and

auditability.

* Demonstrated experience using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within

the work environment to support infrastructure engineering workflows with

strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity.

* Ability to review and validate AI-assisted recommendations before

implementation, escalating when uncertain and ensuring outcomes align to

resiliency, security, and auditability expectations.

Preferred qualifications, capabilities and Skills

* Familiarity with OpenShift observability stacks

(Prometheus/Grafana/Alertmanager, logging, tracing) and operational maturity

practices.

* Experience with service mesh, ingress controllers, API gateways, or platform

networking plugins aligned to your stack.

* Experience with enterprise storage technologies and their performance/failure

characteristics in containerized environments.

* Familiarity using generative AI tools to accelerate research,

troubleshooting, and documentation workflows (with appropriate governance).
