Responsibilities

Design, develop, enhance, integrate, test, deploy, and sustain complex enterprise application components, APIs, automation, and supporting services.
Revise existing software to improve functionality, reliability, performance, security, accessibility, interoperability, and maintainability while reducing defects and technical debt.
Lead technical analysis of enhancement requests, defects, user stories, integration requirements, and recurring technical issues and recommend practical implementation approaches.
Design, implement, publish, and maintain APIs and data integrations using OJP-approved technologies, including WSO2 API Manager and applicable web-service standards and protocols.
Configure and support WSO2 API Manager capabilities for API creation, publication, lifecycle management, governance, testing, monitoring, and integration, coordinating platform-administration, patching, and infrastructure activities with applicable OJP service-delivery, networking, and security teams.
Design and support API integrations with OJP's Identity and Access Management System (DIAMD), including integrations involving Okta and SailPoint and protocols such as SCIM, OAuth 2.0, and SAML, in coordination with the DIAMD support team.
Develop, improve, and troubleshoot continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, automated testing, source-code management, deployment automation, security-scanning integration, and configuration-management practices.

Investigate and resolve assigned help desk tickets, defects, and technical issues involving Data Integration and DevSecOps products.
Perform code and technical reviews, establish component-level engineering and testing practices, and mentor less-experienced engineers in secure, maintainable, and automated development practices.
Partner with architecture, DevOps, data integration, cybersecurity, and business analysis personnel to ensure solutions align with OJP architecture, technical standards, security requirements, and customer needs.
Develop and maintain interface documentation, runbooks, configuration records, implementation procedures, and other technical artifacts needed to sustain supported products and services.
Identify opportunities for automation, refactoring, modernization, technology consolidation, and improved engineering practices that reduce recurring issues and lifecycle cost.
