OpenShift Platform Architect
About the Role
We’re seeking an experienced and motivated OpenShift Platform Architect to apply their skills within a complex and evolving Managed Services environment. Our clients are undergoing significant transformation, with operational resilience, service availability, and risk management playing a critical role in their business strategies.
As a Platform Architect, you will take ownership of the platform architecture across contracted services, evolving it to ensure it aligns with business priorities. You will act as a focal point, working closely with architects, engineers, cybersecurity teams, and stakeholders, ensuring technical integrity, regulatory adherence, robust recovery capabilities, and the continuous evolution of the platform’s capabilities over time.
Hybrid Working
The places you work from will vary, blending company offices, client sites, and your home—though you will not be able to work from home 100% of the time.
Your Role
As part of the Capgemini Architecture Community, you’ll be empowered to play a key part in shaping the future of our collective capabilities. As a member of a Service Line team, you’ll provide:
- Own and govern platform architecture across Managed Services contracts
- Develop and implement resilience strategies covering business continuity and disaster recovery
- Assess vulnerabilities across IT landscapes and business processes
- Design and assure failover and recovery solutions
- Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to embed resilience into security frameworks
- Lead resilience testing, simulations, and scenario planning
- Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements
- Provide best-practice guidance to technical teams
- Act as a trusted advisor to client stakeholders
