• Architect and support platform solutions across IBM Cloud, AWS, Azure, and GCP, ensuring portability and scalability.
• Implement service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio) and advanced container networking solutions (e.g., Calico) for secure and efficient service communication.
• Develop automation and operational tooling using Linux shell scripting and Python, reducing manual effort and improving reliability.
• Support mobile CI/CD pipelines for Android and iOS as part of a unified frontend and backend delivery platform.
• Administer and support WebSphere Application Server, including installation, configuration, performance tuning, and lifecycle management.
• Monitor system health, troubleshoot complex platform issues, and apply analytical, systems-thinking approaches to root cause resolution.
• Collaborate closely with development, security, QA, DBA, and infrastructure teams to deliver stable, compliant platforms.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering technical excellence, DevOps culture, and continuous improvement.

Your Skills:

• 8+ years of progressive experience in Platform Engineering and DevOps.
• Strong expertise in Kubernetes, container orchestration, and cloud-native architectures.
• Hands-on experience with Docker, Terraform, and Infrastructure as Code best practices.
• Proficiency in CI/CD tools such as GitLab CI and Jenkins.
• Deep knowledge of cloud platforms: IBM Cloud, AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• Advanced experience with Git, including complex branching and workflow strategies.
• Familiarity with build tools such as Maven and NPM for dependency and artifact management.
• Experience with service mesh technologies (Istio) and container networking (Calico).
• Strong scripting and automation skills using Linux shell scripting and Python.
• Experience supporting banking and financial services platforms, with a focus on security, reliability, and compliance.
• Exposure to testing tools and practices, and collaboration with DBA teams for database-related operations.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical thinking, and troubleshooting capabilities.
• Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to work effectively in fast-paced Agile environments.
• Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and mentor team members.
