• Configure OpenShift for the application suite across all three clusters, including storage classes, ingress and routes, certificates, and operator catalogs.

• Apply tenant security hardening to the platform baseline across all environments.

• Install and configure the Maximo Application Suite core platform across three environments, including the platform data store, license service, and certificates.

• Provision and configure the integration messaging layer.

• Deploy Maximo Manage and required components across all environments.

• Integrate the deployed solution with platform monitoring, logging, backup, patching, and security services.

• Configure backup and validate application-consistent restore across the full stack.

• Author the Disaster Recovery Plan and execute tested recovery validation.

• Produce as-built documentation and hand the operational platform over to the application team.

• Must have 6, or more, years of directly related experience in cloud platform engineering, DevSecOps, or Kubernetes platform administration.

• Must have hands-on experience provisioning and operating Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

• Must have experience with AWS, including deployment into a government or restricted cloud region.

• Must have experience with infrastructure as code and automation tooling such as Terraform, Ansible, Helm, or Bash.

• Must have experience installing or operating a containerized enterprise application platform, including operators, certificates, and persistent storage.

• Must have experience with container hardening to Department of Defense compliance standards.

• Must have experience configuring backup and validating restore for stateful workloads.

• Must have a current DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification (for example Security+).

• Must have an active DoD Secret Security Clearance.

• Must be a U.S. citizen residing in the continental United States.
