About The Job:
- We are seeking a highly skilled Software Engineering Manager to lead a dynamic team responsible for the software design of platform automation and customer workloads.

- Global Platform Operations: Oversee the operations of On-Prem OpenShift platforms across Enterprise Data Centers (EDCs), China Data Centers, and Manufacturing Plants.
- Operational Excellence: Align with a 24x7 support model, managing Asia/Pacific (India) hours and meeting EPEO MTT(x) metrics. Act as a primary escalation point for critical engineering or operational issues.
- Strategic Vision: Contribute to the technical roadmap for the OpenShift On-Prem platform, ensuring security, performance, and scalability for both containerized and virtual machine (VM) workloads.
- Security & Compliance: Partner with global security teams to ensure Information Security Policy (ISP) and regulatory best practices are enforced across the entire environment.

- Cloud Platforms: 3+ years of in-depth experience with Cloud-based PaaS and IaaS (GCP and Azure preferred).
- CI/CD & DevOps: 2+ years of experience with Git and CI/CD pipelines (Tekton, GitHub Actions, CloudBuild, and/or Jenkins).
- Infrastructure as Code: 2+ years working in a ‘GitOps’ IaC-driven environment using tools such as Ansible and/or Terraform.
- Programming: Demonstrable proficiency in at least one language (Golang or Bash/Shell highly preferred).
- Observability: Familiarity with monitoring tools (Dynatrace, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
- API Development: Demonstrated knowledge of RESTful API concepts and JSON formats.
- Management Experience: 3+ years directly or indirectly leading software engineering, SRE, or platform teams with full-stack responsibilities (planning, engineering, and operations).
- Global Collaboration: 3+ years of experience working within a globally distributed team.
- Methodologies: Strong experience with Agile development and paired engineering environments.
- Communication: Ability to act as a technical lead and a diplomatic escalation point for customer and operational issues.
