About the Role

This role supports our client’s mission‑critical managed file transfer environment by engineering, configuring, and maintaining advanced routing solutions on the Axway SecureTransport platform. The engineer will work remotely within a collaborative, high‑availability team that ensures secure, reliable data movement for enterprise applications. You will be responsible for designing routing policies, troubleshooting complex transfer issues, and enforcing security standards in a regulated setting. Your contributions directly enable uninterrupted business operations and compliance with industry‑wide security frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain Advanced Routing flows that enforce partner‑specific policies, SLAs, and security controls.
• Administer Axway SecureTransport (v5.5‑2026x) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, including installation, configuration, and performance tuning.
• Perform Tier‑3 troubleshooting across operating system, network, and SecureTransport application layers to resolve transfer failures.
• Manage encryption and authentication mechanisms (SSH/PKI/PGP, TLS, certificates) and ensure compliance with CIS/NIST hardening guidelines.
• Configure and monitor load balancers, firewalls, DNS, and IP routing components that support SecureTransport operations.
• Utilize observability tools such as Splunk and Dynatrace for log analysis, alerting, and proactive issue detection.
• Participate in on‑call rotation to provide rapid response for mission‑critical file transfers.
• Document system architecture, routing policies, and operational procedures for knowledge sharing and audit readiness.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of hands‑on administration of Axway SecureTransport in production environments.
• 5+ years of Linux/RHEL system administration, including scripting and performance monitoring.
• 3+ years designing and supporting Advanced Routing policies, routes, partners, and subscription schedules.
• 3+ years of Tier‑3 operational troubleshooting for SecureTransport protocols and routing decisions.
• 3+ years experience with enterprise security practices such as SSH/PKI/PGP, TLS, and certificate lifecycle management.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field; relevant certifications (e.g., Linux, Security, Axway) are a plus.
