Enterprise Platform & Messaging Support: Provide tier-3/senior-level technical support for Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat AMQ, and IBM MQ. This includes technical impact analysis, remediation, deep vendor coordination, and complex release management.
Secure Infrastructure Management: Contribute to the hardening, optimization, and ongoing support of gateway and file infrastructure, specifically IBM DataPower and Managed File Transfer (MFT) services.
Production Excellence & Operations: Troubleshoot complex system anomalies, perform deep root-cause analysis, and tune performance in high-availability production environments. Author and maintain pristine technical documentation and operational runbooks.
Required Qualifications & Skills
Education: University degree or college diploma in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Enterprise Experience: A minimum of seven (7) years of recent, hands-on enterprise software development or systems engineering experience, with a proven track record in senior technical or advanced tier-3 support roles.
Cloud & Containers (7+ Years): Demonstrated hands-on mastery supporting Azure cloud migrations, deploying large-scale applications on Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO), and implementing hybrid network/firewall/connectivity security designs.
Java & Integration Architecture: Strong hands-on development expertise with Java and Spring Boot microservices. Proven experience ripping out and modernizing legacy integration platforms (specifically migrating MuleSoft to custom Spring Boot).
Enterprise Messaging: Direct experience managing and configuring complex, high-throughput messaging environments using IBM MQ and Red Hat AMQ within OpenShift/Kubernetes clusters.
Gateways & MFT: Practical experience supporting IBM DataPower appliances and Managed File Transfer (MFT) protocols.
Data & Modern DevOps: Advanced SQL proficiency (specifically performance tuning, indexing, and query optimization) paired with practical GitOps and Argo CD deployment experience.
Agile Collaboration: Adept at working inside high-velocity Agile/Scrum teams alongside Technical Leads, Solution Architects, and Product Owners.
Deep familiarity with Linux/Unix server administration in complex, mixed-technology environments.
