Job description

Role Overview:

We are seeking a TA Infrastructure Engineer with hands-on experience in enterprise infrastructure management, particularly in containerization or middleware. The ideal candidate should be able to support production environments, participate in application architecture discussions, and ensure the stability and scalability of web and microservices-based applications.

Key Responsibilities:

· Take ownership of one or more application products, managing operational aspects such as OS and application patching, performance, and availability.

· Deploy, configure, and maintain application middleware (e.g., WebSphere in HA mode) in production.

· Maintain and operate complex enterprise container architectures (3-tier), supporting up to 100 environments per site.

· Participate in application architecture sessions to provide input on integration mechanisms like Web Services, MQ interfaces, and SFTP.

· Design, implement, and administer Kubernetes-based platforms (e.g., OpenShift, Tanzu, VMware Cloud Foundation).

· Manage container provisioning lifecycle, image repositories, and container-centric service deployments.

· Support and maintain scalable web and microservices architectures.

· Drive and support DevSecOps automation and tooling.

· Establish and execute operational processes for:

· OS-level and application-level patching

· System housekeeping and archival

· Backup and recovery procedures

· Ensure infrastructure and systems adhere to government-grade security standards, including hardening, scanning, and compliance.

Top 3 Must-Have Skills:

· Experience designing and implementing enterprise container applications using Kubernetes platforms (OpenShift/Tanzu).

· Hands-on experience with middleware/integration tools like IBM MQ, including setup, administration, and troubleshooting.

· Proven ability to maintain and operate large-scale online web and microservices architectures.

Good-to-Have Skills:

· Familiarity with Agile methodologies and CI/CD tools.

· Exposure to Elastic ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), including query development and dashboarding.

· Understanding of web applications from frontend to backend (SSO, Web Server, App Server, DB, etc.).

· Experience in operational delivery—patching, performance tuning, automation, and monitoring.

Minimum Qualifications:

· Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field.

· Minimum 2 years of relevant experience in either Kubernetes-based environments or middleware infrastructure.

Preferred Profiles:

· Candidates with either strong Kubernetes experience or middleware expertise (IBM MQ, WebSphere, etc.) will be considered.
