This position requires a strong technical foundation across cloud infrastructure, DevSecOps tooling, identity management, and enterprise system integrations, along with the judgment and communication skills to lead a team and represent tooling matters to Client stakeholders. What You Will Do: * Serve as the primary technical authority for the enterprise tooling stack; direct the Tools Management team's technical approach, architecture decisions, and troubleshooting for complex, cross-tool issues. * Provide technical direction to and oversee the Tools Management team, including workload distribution, technical mentorship, and cross-training of Systems Engineers. * Serve as the Client-facing technical lead for tooling matters and coordinate with the Security team during the combined Security/Tools scrum cadence. * Support operations and maintenance activities for enterprise tools used by development and operations teams. * Administer and maintain Atlassian Tooling, Jira including workflows, permissions, automation rules, custom fields, and system upgrades. * Manage and support Confluence, including space administration, user access, templates, plugin management, and upgrades. * Oversee GitHub Enterprise repositories, including access controls, branching strategies, integrations, and license management. * Configure and maintain Slack integrations, user provisioning, and communication workflows across enterprise teams. * Administer MiniOrange and OKTA for identity and access management, including SSO (SAML/OAuth), MFA, and enterprise integrations. * Manage and support SonarQube, including installation, configuration, upgrades, permissions, and code quality enforcement. * Lead troubleshooting and resolution for tooling-related incidents and outages, and serve as the escalation point for complex, cross-tool issues, including Splunk, Jenkins/CloudBees CI, JFrog Artifactory, Grafana, Datadog, NewRelic, LaunchDarkly, and VictorOps. * Perform tool upgrades, vulnerability checks, and compatibility assessments for plugins and integrations. * Integrate enterprise tools with CI/CD pipelines and other systems to support secure and efficient development workflows. * Support automation initiatives using tools such as Packer, Ansible, Selenium, and API-based frameworks. * Assist in implementing DevSecOps and Infrastructure-as-Code practices using AWS, Terraform, and CloudFormation. * Support monitoring and incident response activities using tools such as New Relic, Splunk, AWS CloudWatch, and similar platforms. * Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation of tool configurations, integrations, and dependencies, and develop SOPs and runbooks to support knowledge management and operational continuity, a designated priority for this role given the risk of concentrated, undocumented institutional knowledge. * Ensure compliance with security requirements, including ATO support, API authentication, and Client governance processes. * Perform additional duties assigned. ## Related Videos - [GitOps for the people](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/461-gitops-for-the-people) - [Stack Overflow: Community and AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/600-stack-overflow-community-and-ai) - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Leading Through Stagility: Human Capital Trends That Redefine Work](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1717-leading-through-stagility-human-capital-trends-that-redefine-work) - [Grappling With Clunky Old Software?
