You will administer and support Java application middleware across Apache Tomcat and Oracle WebLogic environments. The role focuses on environment build, configuration, hardening, deployment support, monitoring, and troubleshooting across Dev/QA/Prod . You’ll partner with application teams, DBAs, network/security, and DevOps to ensure secure, reliable, and performant services.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS & SKILLS

• 3–6 years’ hands-on experience administering Tomcat and/or WebLogic in enterprise environments.
• Strong knowledge of Java application hosting , JVM tuning, JDBC data sources, and web security (SSL/TLS, certs, ciphers).
• Proficiency with SQL fundamentals for connectivity/health checks (any RDBMS).
• Solid experience with Linux (RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu) and Windows Server basics.
• Experience with logging/monitoring (e.g., Splunk) and vulnerability tooling (e.g., Tenable).
• Familiarity with GitLab CI/CD , Docker , and Terraform (working level).
• Scripting in Bash and/or PowerShell for automation.
• Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills.

• ENVIRONMENT BUILD & CONFIGURATIONInstall, configure, and maintain Tomcat instances (service wrappers, JVM settings, thread pools, virtual hosts, context paths, HTTP/HTTPS connectors).Configure WebLogic domains, admin/managed servers, clusters, data sources (JDBC), JMS, connection pools, and node managers.Implement SSL/TLS , manage keystores/certificates, and enforce secure cipher suites and protocols.
• DEPLOYMENT & RELEASE SUPPORTSupport deployment of Java applications (WAR/EAR) across Dev/QA/Prod.Integrate application services with APIs , databases, and SFTP endpoints.Automate repeatable tasks (startup/shutdown, deployments, health checks).
• OPERATIONS, MONITORING & TROUBLESHOOTINGProactively monitor application and middleware health; configure logging and log rotation.Integrate and tune alerts with tools such as Splunk (logging/observability) and Tenable (vulnerability posture).Diagnose and resolve incidents related to JVM performance, memory leaks, thread contention, connection pooling, and deployment failures.Implement and maintain high availability & load balancing configurations.
• SECURITY & COMPLIANCEApply OS and middleware security patches and updates on a regular cadence (Windows & Linux).Remediate vulnerabilities; maintain configuration baselines aligned to security standards and hardening guides.Manage certificate renewals and secrets/keystore hygiene.
• PLATFORM & INFRASTRUCTURE ADMINISTRATIONSupport Windows Server services (WSUS, basic file/NTFS permissions) and Linux administration for middleware hosts.Active Directory basics: user/groups, GPO awareness, DNS entries relevant to app hosting.Manage Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) policies on servers.
• DEVOPS & AUTOMATIONUse GitLab (CI/CD) for pipeline-driven deployments where applicable.Leverage Docker for packaging middleware tools/utilities; use Terraform for IaC in supported environments.Contribute to runbooks, SOPs, and environment documentation.
• SERVICE MANAGEMENTHandle user requests and operational queries within SLAs.Participate in problem reviews/RCAs and drive continual service improvement.
