## Description

The Engineering Tooling team is looking for a Staff Platform Engineer to own the reliability, scalability, and evolution of the tools that thousands of engineers depend on every day. You'll be the subject matter expert for our core engineering toolchain GitHub Enterprise, JFrog Artifactory, and the Atlassian products like JIRA, Confluence, Bitbucket running on Linux infrastructure at scale. This is a high-ownership role: you'll architect, automate, and operate these systems, not just maintain them.

 * Own GitHub Enterprise on premises: organization and repository management, branch protection policies, GitHub Actions pipelines, security hardening, and CI/CD integration
 * Manage JFrog Artifactory repositories end-to-end artifact lifecycle, replication, access controls, storage backends, and performance at scale
 * Maintain Linux-based infrastructure for all engineering tools: system hardening, kernel tuning, filesystem management, and troubleshooting
 * Design and execute zero-downtime upgrade and patch strategies; participate in on-call for critical incidents
 * Drive monitoring, alerting, capacity planning, and performance analysis across all managed systems
 * Build integrations between GitHub, Artifactory, Atlassian tools, and CI/CD pipelines using Ansible, Python, Shell, and Go
 * Develop runbooks, operational documentation, and self-service tooling that reduces toil for both the team and end users
 * Administer Polarion on Linux, including workflows, OSLC plugin integration, templates, and permissions
