Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field with 7+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, platform engineering, site reliability engineering (SRE), or infrastructure operations.
• Expert-level proficiency with container orchestration platforms — Docker for containerization and Kubernetes for orchestration — including cluster management, Helm charts, service mesh, and production-grade deployment strategies (blue-green, canary, rolling updates).
• Solid hands-on experience administering web and application servers — Apache HTTP Server, Nginx, Apache Tomcat, and JBoss/WildFly — including virtual host configuration, reverse proxy setup, load balancing, performance tuning, and security hardening.
• Working knowledge of SSO, SAML 2.0, and OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication protocols, with experience integrating identity providers and securing enterprise applications.
• Experience with vulnerability management processes including scanning, triage, remediation tracking, and compliance reporting across infrastructure and application layers.

Nice To Haves

• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex production issues across the full stack (network, OS, middleware, application, database) under pressure with minimal business disruption.
• Proficiency with the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for centralized log management, including pipeline design, index lifecycle management, and building operational dashboards.
• Hands-on experience with RHEL and Windows Server administration, including OS hardening, patch management, performance troubleshooting, and security with thorough understanding of SSL/TLS certificate management.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, implementation, and management of containerized application platforms using Docker and Kubernetes, ensuring scalable, resilient, and self-healing infrastructure across development, staging, and production environments.
• Administer and optimize web server and application server environments including Apache HTTP Server, Nginx, Apache Tomcat, and JBoss/WildFly, ensuring high availability, performance tuning, and secure configurations.
• Build and maintain centralized logging and observability platforms using the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), enabling real-time log aggregation, search, and visualization for operational insights.
• Manage SSL/TLS certificate lifecycle including provisioning, renewal, rotation, and revocation across all environments, ensuring compliance with enterprise security policies and zero certificate-related downtime.
• Collaborate with application development teams working with Node.js, Java, and middleware platforms such as OpenText TeamSite to ensure seamless deployment, integration, and platform support.
• Implement and maintain SSO, SAML, and OIDC-based authentication and authorization solutions, working closely with identity and access management teams to secure application access.
• Lead vulnerability management efforts across the platform stack, coordinating remediation of security findings, applying patches, and ensuring compliance with enterprise security frameworks and audit requirements.
• Serve as a senior escalation point for production incidents, leading troubleshooting efforts across the full technology stack (network, OS, middleware, application, database) to ensure rapid resolution and minimal business impact.
