The position requires solid automation background in DEVSECOPS area. This involves architecture, design, development and integration of tools and technologies to achieve “end-to-end” DEVSECOPS process automation. It will require on-demand standup and on-demand decommissioning of environment as single “unit” comprising of multiple components of infrastructure, databases, middleware, messaging, data and applications layers – all of which will need to be automated and orchestrated as part of DEVSECOPS pipeline run. The automation produced will be exercised on-demand and frequently to standup, modify, restore, and decommission environment. Multiple instances of environment standard environments will be active at the same time to support different projects and release levels. Environment will need to be expressed as set of definition files and scripts in our Git instance for versioning, branching and merging and governance. Past experience of designing and implementing a similar initiative is required. The position will require to use approved tools and technologies including Jenkins, Ansible Tower, Ansible, Terraform and Terragrunt and supporting components. The environments will be used to meet the needs of parallel development using Java-based technologies and a mix of modernized and legacy applications running on WebSphere ND platform and Oracle databases on Red Hat Linux VMs on VMWare ESX. Experience with transition to JBOSS, containerization, persistent volumes is a definite plus but not mandatory. Support for AWS based Compute and Storage in place of VMware/VSAN will also be required to extend automation capability to for a hybrid data center support. Automation must also support for execution of test cases to verify general health of environment as well as applications
