Aditi Consulting
Richmond, VA Contractor
POSTED ON 1/13/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/11/2026

Payrate: $78.00 - $88.00/hr.
 
Summary:
Senior Consultant with deep expertise in OpenShift Virtualization (formerly Container Native Virtualization/CNV). This is a short-term, high-impact engagement focused on architectural design, implementation, or migration strategies for running virtual machine workloads alongside container workloads on OpenShift.
 
The ideal candidate acts as a Subject Matter Expert (SME), bridging the gap between traditional virtualization (VMware/vSphere) and cloud-native Kubernetes environments.
 
Responsibilities:
  • Architecture & Design: Design and architect OpenShift Virtualization solutions to host legacy Virtual Machines (VMs) on Kubernetes clusters using KubeVirt.
  • Implementation: Deploy and configure the OpenShift Virtualization operator and associated components (HCO).
  • VM Migration: execute or plan "lift-and-shift" migrations of VMs from source platforms (VMware vSphere, RHV, or bare metal) to OpenShift using the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV).
  • Network & Storage Integration: Configure Multus CNI for secondary networks and retain persistent storage connectivity for stateful VM workloads.
  • Performance Tuning: Optimize VM configurations (CPU pinning, huge pages, NUMA awareness) within the containerized environment to ensure performance parity with traditional hypervisors.
  • Knowledge Transfer: Provide documentation and hand-off training to internal engineering teams regarding day-to-day operations of VMs on OpenShift.
 
Required Qualifications:
  • Extensive experience with OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) (v4.x).
  • Deep expertise in OpenShift Virtualization / CNV / KubeVirt.
  • Strong background in Linux Administration (RHEL CoreOS).
  • Virtualization: Deep understanding of hypervisor technologies (KVM, QEMU, Libvirt) and traditional virtualization platforms (VMware vSphere).
  • Experience with OCP Storage (ODF/OCS, Ceph, or CSI integration).
  • Experience with SDN and Multus CNI for complex networking requirements.
 
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Certified Specialist in OpenShift Virtualization.
  • Experience with Ansible Automation Platform for VM provisioning and configuration management.
  • Experience in Federal/Public Sector environments.
 
Pay Transparency: The typical base pay for this role across the U.S. is: $78.00 - $88.00/hr.  Final offer amounts, within the base pay set forth above, are determined by factors including your relevant skills, education and experience and the benefits package you select.  Full-time employees are eligible to select from different benefits packages.  Packages may include medical, dental, and vision benefits, 10 paid days off, 401(k) plan participation, commuter benefits and life and disability insurance.
