Build an enterprise AI platform on OpenShift AI (RHOAI) We’re looking for senior consultants to design and deliver an enterprise AI platform on OpenShift AI, from the gateway and guardrails through to the pipelines that move models into production. This is a build role. You’ll turn fast-moving AI capability into secure, standardised services teams can pick up and use, rather than a string of one-off pilots. You’ll also help shape the platform from the ground up, because the AI portfolio is still being established. What you’ll work on
• CI/CD pipelines for enterprise AI platform products
• An enterprise AI gateway giving standardised access to approved models, with routing, authentication, policies and guardrails
• An AI workload factory that automates provisioning of OpenShift AI (RHOAI) resources for current workloads
• Model onboarding, validation, deployment and promotion across DEV, TEST and PROD
• AI observability, including dashboards, alerting, model performance and GPU utilisation reporting
• Security controls and guardrails through policy as code, covering harmful content, bias and toxicity
• Reusable RAG services and blueprints for LLM applications and AI agents
• A standardised developer platform, plus usage,



telemetry and cost visibility What you’ll bring
• Hands-on experience with OpenShift AI, including model serving, pipelines and GPU workloads
• Strong OpenShift, Kubernetes and cloud-native platform engineering experience
• A track record of building CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation
• Knowledge of AI and ML platforms, model lifecycle management and deployment
• Experience with monitoring, observability and operational support
• A good grasp of enterprise security, governance and compliance controls
• Experience building platform standards, templates and self-service capability for engineering teams
• Strong stakeholder skills across technical and business teams
• Highly desirable: LLMs, RAG architectures and AI application development The engagement
• Contract, full-time (40 hours a week)
• 12 months from starting late 2026 / early 2027, with a further year possible
• Australia-wide, with Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne preferred
• Active Australian Government NV1 clearance, or one that can be readily reinstated About Kestrel Eight Kestrel Eight is an Australian DevOps and enterprise platform consulting firm.
