This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who understands the operational complexity of running large-scale server environments and is passionate about enabling frictionless self-service through automation. You will lead by example-designing and implementing modular IaC components and GitOps workflows that abstract the complexity of provisioning and managing application/web servers, configuring runtime settings, tuning performance parameters, enforcing security policies, integrating with routing layers, and ensuring end-to-end observability. In this role, you will: * Lead large-scale initiatives to automate provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle operations for application and web server platforms (Tomcat, Apache HTTPD, IBM Liberty, NGINX, etc.) * Architect and develop reusable IaC components (Ansible) for server installation, configuration management, clustering, routing, JVM tuning, certificate automation, and policy enforcement * 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 * Continuously improve platform reliability, performance, scalability, and operational efficiency through automation modernization and engineering excellence. ## Related Videos - [Enterprise-Cloud-Native - Fast-Paced Development & Deployment in a Highly Secure Banking Environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/671-enterprise-cloud-native-fast-paced-development-deployment-in-a-highly-secure-banking-environment) - [Post-Quantum Cryptography: Preparing for Q-Day](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100179-post-quantum-cryptography-preparing-for-q-day) - [5 steps for running a Kubernetes environment at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/88-5-steps-for-running-a-kubernetes-environment-at-scale) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
