We are currently seeking a IBM Open Shift ACE to join our team in Bangalore, Karnātaka (IN-KA), India (IN).

Core Technical Expertise

• Strong hands-on experience in OpenShift (OCP) environment management, including:

• Understanding of ACE and APIC architecture and components
• Ability to deploy, configure, and operate ACE and APIC on OpenShift
• Familiarity with containerized ACE/APIC setups (e.g., images, configurations, runtime concepts)
• No requirement for flow or API development expertise; focus is on platform enablement and operations.

Platform & Operations Skills

• Experience with:
• CI/CD pipelines related to OpenShift-based deployments
• Configuration management and environment promotion (DEV / QA / PROD)
• Monitoring, logging, and basic troubleshooting in containerized environments

• Exposure to hybrid or cloud-native integration landscapes
• Familiarity with GitOps concepts or tools
• Experience supporting mission-critical integration platforms in enterprise environments.

Role Positioning (Optional – for clarity)

This role focuses on OpenShift-based integration platform operations and enablement, ensuring that IBM ACE and APIC runtimes are deployed, stable, and scalable. It is not a development role but a platform and runtime operations role supporting integration product teams. Willingness to provide extended support when required, including making additional effort outside regular working hours to resolve critical production issues is a big Plus.
