Requirements - Direct experience with IBM Cloud Pak for Data, IBM Watson, or IBM Fusion/Fusion HCI appliances. - Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration (RHCSA/RHCE + OpenShift certs). - Experience with Ansible for configuration management and automation. - Familiarity with IBM Storage Fusion / IBM Spectrum or similar hyper-converged infrastructure. - Experience managing vendor support relationships (Dell ProSupport, IBM Support, Red Hat subscriptions). - Prior experience in a regulated or high-availability environment where uptime and data locality (private, non-cloud hosting) are critical.
