Red Hat Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) Consulting is looking for a Senior Architect to join our EMEA Solutions and Technology Practice team, focused on Application Development, Application Platforms, and Security. In this role, you will specialize in Red Hat’s container, application platform, and Trusted Software Supply Chain (TSSC) technologies—including Red Hat Lightwell initiatives.
You will be the primary technical guide for implementing security solutions based on Red Hat technology, such as Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security or Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite; and integrating the same with third-party tools. You will architect zero-trust, hermetic build environments that enable customers to confidently run workloads across the open hybrid cloud while meeting strict regulatory requirements (such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act and NIST Secure Software guidelines). You’ll work with our customers to understand their current and desired state of container and security application adoption. Your ultimate goal will be to help customers reach their desired state through the use of Red Hat’s technology and services portfolio.
As an Architect, you’ll need to have deep technical expertise, passion for open source, a thorough understanding of business processes, and the ability to identify and create business value at the enterprise level. In addition, you’ll need to have a solid working knowledge of agile project methodologies and DevSecOps models and technologies.
What you will do:
Implement the Advanced Developer Suite: Guide platform engineering teams in rolling out Red Hat Developer Hub, integrated with specialized TSSC layers, to abstract infrastructure complexity and enforce rigorous security guardrails.
Consume and generate SBOMs & Vulnerability Management (with TPA): Design and deploy Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer (TPA) to centralize the management of Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange (VEX) data, and CVE tracking. Enable real-time risk visibility and "Exploit Intelligence" (ExploitIQ) to eliminate vulnerability noise for development teams.
Enforce Cryptographic Provenance (with TAS): Integrate Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer (TAS) (the enterprise-ready Sigstore deployment) into CI/CD pipelines. Establish keyless and identity-based cryptographic signing (via OIDC) for code commits (gitsign), binaries, and container images (cosign), creating an immutable and queryable transaction log (rekor).
Drive Full-Lifecycle Cluster Security (with ACS): Architect Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security (ACS) to govern Kubernetes environments. Define policies that bridge build-time provenance and runtime defense, ensuring that only artifacts cryptographically signed by TAS and analyzed by TPA are cleared for deployment.
Help customers evolve from thinking about Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform as mere infrastructure to thinking of it as a technology which can drive business value; articulate potential business changes, backed by Red Hat’s technology, that can grow tangible business value
Build and follow strategic customer engagements, following Red Hat’s standard offers like the Application Platform Journey to support a risk-focused approach to modernization, based on a clear understanding of the customer’s current state architecture, key performance indicators, workloads, development environment, and lines of business concerns
Advise and set up workflows and programs for application modernization
Become a virtual member of the customer’s team, enabling and mentoring customers in the development and deployment of applications on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
Represent EMEA as a subject matter expert (SME) in global solution development sprints
Support the EMEA Regions with awareness, enablement and provide assistance in presales activities like discovery sessions, RFIs, and RFPs.
