Summary: We are seeking a Platform Engineer focused on container image creation and governance to build and operate an enterprise "container image factory". The role emphasizes automation-first delivery through Git Hub, CI/CD pipelines, and GitOps workflows, with strong alignment to security controls and vulnerability management. You will partner with application teams and security stakeholders to standardize image practices, reduce risk, and accelerate modernization.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build and maintain custom container images using Dockerfile/Containerfile, with clear standards for layering, dependency pinning, and reproducibility.
- Deliver and manage enterprise base images and runtime images (e.g., language runtimes, web/middleware stacks) designed for broad reuse across teams.
- Maintain image versioning strategy (semantic tags, immutability, lifecycle/deprecation) and publish to enterprise registries with controlled promotion across environments.
- Ensure images are compatible with Red Hat OpenShift security and runtime requirements (least privilege execution, non-root patterns, file permissions, SCC expectations as applicable).
- Provide reference patterns for developers to consume approved images and reduce custom-image sprawl.
- Integrate security scanning and policy checks into pipelines (CVE scanning, configuration checks, dependency analysis), and drive remediation via rebuild/release workflows.
Key Skills:
- Experience with Docker and container image creation.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows.
- Understanding of security controls and vulnerability management.
- Knowledge of Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes platforms.
- Ability to collaborate with application teams and security stakeholders.
