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.
Subject Matter Expert 1 - Strategy CMC Implementation (DOE/LANL)
Location: Los Alamos, NM | Remote
Compensation: $75-$85 hr
Schedule: 1-Year Contract
Citizenship: U.S. Citizenship Required
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.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the installation, configuration, and production deployment of Strategy Customer Managed Cloud
- Deploy and configure Strategy CMC within a Red Hat OpenShift environment
- Configure the new CMC environment to support existing on-premises Strategy reports, dashboards, security, and application functionality
- Validate application functionality, performance, connectivity, and production readiness
- Perform CMC configuration, tuning, patching, upgrades, troubleshooting, and ongoing operational support
- Maintain the Strategy CMC application and supporting containerized infrastructure post-deployment
- Develop operational procedures, documentation, and best practices for long-term support
- Mentor LANL middleware personnel on administering both OpenShift and Strategy CMC, providing full knowledge transfer
- Collaborate with infrastructure, security, and application teams to ensure a reliable, secure production environment
