Lead the installation, configuration, and production deployment of Strategy Customer Managed Cloud within a Red Hat OpenShift environment. Mentor the middleware team and develop operational procedures to ensure long-term support and stability.
Clearance: Current or prior security clearance preferred
Why This Role
LANL is deploying a new Strategy Customer Managed Cloud (CMC) environment on Red Hat OpenShift and needs a senior consultant who has led this exact kind of implementation before. This is a lead deployment role, not general OpenShift administration. You'll own the CMC build-out, configure it to support existing on-premises Strategy reports and dashboards, and mentor LANL's middleware team to take over long-term operations.
Important: Candidates whose experience is limited to OpenShift administration without significant, hands-on Strategy CMC implementation experience are not a fit for this position.
