Platform Engineer - Openshift

Job Purpose

If your idea of “platform engineering” is more than spinning plates and reacting to alerts, we’re already thinking alike. You’ve seen it before, platforms that are technically “running,” but barely healthy. Applications deployed without visibility. Scaling treated like a gamble. Teams trying to build great software without the right support underneath them. At Build On Technologies, we believe platforms should empower teams, not fight them.

We’re looking for someone who can make Open Shift excellence more than a talking point. Someone who wants to shape how applications are deployed, monitored, secured, and supported, and knows how to do it thoughtfully. We need a collaborative professional who understands Kubernetes concepts, observability, and real-world platform operations. If you’re still growing, we’ll help you build that expertise, but you should come ready to learn quickly and own meaningful work.

Your Mission
You’ll help lead the developer-facing side of our Open Shift Kubernetes platform, not just keeping it running, but making it great to use. You’ll partner with development teams, Systems, and IT to ensure applications are deployed securely, monitored effectively, and supported with the right level of performance and reliability.

What You’ll Be Doing (And Loving Every Minute of It):

• Helping development teams build and refine Open Shift deployment configurations that actually work in production
• Using both the CLI and the Open Shift web console to support application management and troubleshooting.
• Configuring application security including RBAC, secrets management, and TLS certificates.
• Monitoring application performance and ensuring resources are allocated intentionally.
• Supporting observability by helping teams leverage Open Telemetry for meaningful metrics and tracing.
• Managing and supporting logging and metrics platforms including Elastic Stack and Prometheus.
• Configuring scaling strategies that make sense for the workload and business needs.
• Partnering with IT to ensure clusters are healthy, right-sized, and prepared for growth.
• Supporting disaster recovery readiness alongside IT leadership.

What We’re Looking For:

• Knowledge and hands-on experience with Kubernetes concepts.
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker, container-based workflows).
• Understanding of Dev Ops practices and modern delivery environments.
• Interest or experience in monitoring, observability, and telemetry.
• Someone who enjoys guiding developers and supporting better deployments.
• Curiosity, humility, and willingness to learn Open Shift deeply.

Bonus

Experience:

Professional experience with Open Shift or Kubernetes in production, Dev Ops-oriented experience, certifications in cloud-native or Red Hat technologies

• Experience with Open Telemetry, Elastic Stack, Prometheus, or Grafana
• Familiarity with CI/CD, Git Ops, or infrastructure-as-code tooling

At Build On, we’re not just another software company, we’re a trusted partner in homebuilding tech. Our platforms help builders eliminate process headaches, streamline design workflows, and deliver better experiences for home buyers and teams alike. We combine industry knowledge with software excellence, and we build systems that people rely on every day.

If you believe developers deserve tooling and support that actually works, and your career growth should be more than a checkbox, apply now!
