This role owns the provisioning, configuration, security, and ongoing maintenance of all infrastructure that supports our integration platforms - spanning API integrations, data pipelines, and the shared services that underpin them. You will work across our current on-premises Linux environment and be instrumental in building out the cloud infrastructure as we modernize our platform stack. This position is a hybrid role., Architect, Design and Develop * Provision, configure, and maintain all infrastructure supporting integration, and data and platforms including WSO2, and related middleware on on-premises Linux servers. * Design and build Azure cloud infrastructure hosting platform using AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service), and other Azure services for the organization's next-generation API, data, and applications, following infrastructure-as-code (IaC) principles. * Manage and harden on-premises server environments including OS patching, package management, service configuration, and security hardening on Linux. * Administer IAM integrations including LDAP directory services, Active Directory, service account management, and certificate lifecycle management. * Own network configuration relevant to integration workloads: DNS, firewall rules, load balancers, VPNs, and API gateway networking. Collaborate and Coordinate * Collaborate on CI/CD pipeline infrastructure, including build agents, artifact repositories, and deployment automation tooling. * Support API and data engineering teams with environment provisioning, capacity planning, and performance tuning of integration runtimes. Production Support * Participate in on-call production support rotation and serve as escalation point for infrastructure-layer incidents. * Implement and maintain monitoring, alerting, and logging infrastructure (log aggregation, metrics dashboards, uptime monitoring) for all integration services. * Lead disaster recovery planning, backup procedures, and environment restoration for integration platform components.
