• Develop automation scripts and workflows using Python or Java to support provisioning, configuration, governance, certificate management, and operational efficiency
• Develop robust APIs using Java Spring Boot or Python to expose provisioning, configuration, deployment governance, certificate management, and capacity automation workflows
• Design and implement GitOps‑driven workflows to automate server configuration updates—such as routing rules, reverse proxy updates, JVM or container runtime changes, TLS rotation, module/plugin configuration, and environment policies
• Build and maintain self‑service platform capabilities enabling developers to request server instances, deploy applications, configure routing, request certificates, manage JNDI/resources, and consume metrics through APIs or service catalogs
• Collaborate across engineering, security, and product teams to ensure platform automation aligns with organizational goals and best practices
• Participate in architecture and code reviews while mentoring engineers on server operations, IaC design patterns, and automation best practices
