DevOps Engineer-Assistant Vice President

DevOps Engineer / Specialist Role Overview The DevOps Engineer / Specialist is an intermediate to senior technical role responsible for designing, building, automating, and maintaining robust CI/CD pipelines, containerized platforms, and enterprise deployment infrastructure across cloud and on-premises environments. This role supports application engineering and infrastructure teams by establishing automated software delivery, continuous integration, release management, infrastructure-as-code, and operational reliability. Rather than active software development, this role requires a strong architectural and operational understanding of modern microservices, enterprise middleware, database platforms, and batch scheduling systems—specifically TIBCO BusinessWorks (BW), IBM WebSphere, Oracle DB, Couchbase DB, Java Microservices,  and AutoSys —to effectively automate, deploy, and troubleshoot complex multi-tier application ecosystems.

CI/CD & Multi-Tier Deployment Automation Design, implement, and maintain scalable Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines across development, testing, staging, and production environments. Automate build, packaging, release, and deployment workflows for heterogeneous enterprise workloads, including containerized microservices, traditional middleware, and legacy systems. Establish zero-downtime deployment patterns (e.g., Blue-Green, Canary releases) and automated rollback mechanisms across distributed application stacks. Enterprise Middleware & Batch Lifecycle Support Support deployment automation and environment configuration for enterprise middleware, including IBM WebSphere application servers and TIBCO BusinessWorks (BW) integration platforms. Automate workload scheduling and batch job management using AutoSys (e.g., JIL definition management, job dependency orchestration, and release integration). Troubleshoot deployment failures, runtime connectivity, environment variables, configuration drift, and integration points across middleware and batch environments. Microservices & Container Orchestration Manage, standardize, and support containerized Java Microservices running on orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes / Red Hat OpenShift . Author and maintain Helm charts , Kubernetes resource manifests, and container configurations adhering to enterprise standards. Troubleshoot container runtime configurations, JVM memory/CPU resource allocation, startup probes, and service mesh / ingress routing without requiring source code modifications. Database Deployment & Pipeline Integration Collaborate with Data Architecture and DBA teams to incorporate automated database migration workflows into CI/CD pipelines. Maintain an operational understanding of relational and NoSQL database platforms—including Oracle DB (DDL/DML change execution, connection pooling, migration tooling) and Couchbase DB (bucket configuration, indexing, clustering support)—to streamline schema and data layer deployments. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Configuration Management Provision, configure, and maintain scalable infrastructure utilizing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) frameworks (e.g., Terraform, Ansible ). Maintain standardized Ansible playbooks and configuration scripts for middleware configuration, OS-level tuning, and automated agent installations. DevSecOps, Governance & Compliance Embed automated security scanners, vulnerability checks, and quality gates (e.g., SonarQube, Snyk, Checkmarx) directly into pipelines. Integrate secrets management tools (e.g., HashiCorp Vault) to ensure secure handling of credentials, certificates, and API tokens across environments. Enforce strict adherence to enterprise change management processes, release governance, audit compliance, and access controls. Monitoring, Observability & Reliability Implement centralized monitoring, log aggregation, and alerting solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, Dynatrace, ELK) to
