Architect(Migration from VMware to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization)

We are looking for a senior hands-on virtualization architect/SME who has actually migrated VMware workloads to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization in production. This is not a general VMware, Kubernetes, or OpenShift administrator role.

🔴 Absolute Must-Haves

• VMware → Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization migrations — direct hands-on migration experience is the #1 requirement.
• MTV / Forklift — Migration Toolkit for Virtualization experience.
• KubeVirt administration and troubleshooting.
• Strong OpenShift Virtualization / OCP experience.
• OpenShift Platform Plus (OPP) experience.
• Advanced Migration Management (ACM) experience.
• ArgoCD + GitOps for managing OpenShift environments.
• Experience with multi-site / multi-cluster migration programs.
• Migration automation using Ansible, Python, Bash, or similar.
• Experience executing production cutovers, validation, rollback planning, and post-migration support.
• Operational readiness — preparing engineering/operations teams to support the migrated environment.
• Strong knowledge transfer/documentation experience, including MOPs, migration procedures, diagrams, runbooks, and training.
