Introduction
At IBM, work is more than a job – it’s a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you’ve never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world’s most challenging problems? If so, lets talk.

Your Role and Responsibilities
Our team containerize Db2 and develop micro-service solutions based on kubernetes architecture. This entire solution is based on Redhat OpenShift and we use cutting edge technologies, for example: Building customized Kubernetes resources with Operators, leveraging cloud native storage solutions like OCS (OpenShift Container Storage) and Portwox, and creating in-depth container security solutions with OpenShift SCC and SELiunx.
