      Your Role and Responsibilities

      This position is for a platform engineer in the hybrid cloud team of IBM's multi-cloud virtual agent and automation products watsonx Assistant and watsonx Orchestrate. Your primary responsibility will be the implementation, maintenance, and DevOps for OpenShift platform extensions via Kubernetes operators and controllers. You will be part of a small agile team, but you will interact with and provide capabilities to several other development, site reliability engineering (SRE), and support teams.
