• Lead the timely creation, testing, packaging, and publication of approved platform releases and binaries
• Develop and maintain automation solutions using scripting languages and infrastructure automation tools
• Serve as the technical lead and subject matter expert for enterprise web and application server platforms
• Review and analyze high impact outages to ensure the proper processes and procedures are in place to avoid problems in the future
• Design, build, deploy and maintain infrastructure solutions through collaborative efforts with the team and third party vendors
• Design, code, test, debug and document programs using Agile development practices
• Make decisions in technical designs, implementation plans and identify project risks and resource requirements
• Direct the daily risk and control flow of operations, focusing on policies, procedures and work standards to ensure success
• Recommend courses of action to maintain cost effectiveness and achieve results
• Collaborate and consult with peers, colleagues and managers to resolve issues and achieve goals

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of Technology Infrastructure Engineering and Solutions experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education
• 5+ years of full‑stack or backend software development experience using Java
• 3+ years of experience with IaC tools such as Ansible or Terraform
  

Desired Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience deploying and operating one or more application/web server technologies (Tomcat, Apache HTTPD, IBM Liberty, NGINX, etc.)
• 3+ years of experience implementing GitOps or similar automation practices.
• 2+ years of experience with Kubernetes/OCP, containerization, and hybrid cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• 2+ years of experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs and integrating automation into platform services
