Principal Platform Architect (Red Hat OpenShift)
📍 Hybrid – Reading area (2 days per week on site)
💰 Up to £110,000 + Bonus
I'm recruiting for a Principal Platform Architect to take ownership of the architecture and evolution of large-scale Red Hat OpenShift platforms supporting business-critical services within complex enterprise environments.
This isn't a hands-on engineering role. It's an opportunity to define platform strategy, influence technical direction, and ensure enterprise OpenShift platforms remain secure, resilient, and scalable as they continue to evolve.
