As a technology solutions provider, our engineering teams work on high-impact client initiatives to transform how critical systems are tested, secured, and deployed.

In this role, you will act as a hands‑on technical practitioner and evangelist for Continuous Delivery, automated testing, and safe, repeatable deployments. Blending Software Engineering, Dev Ops, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), you will be roughly 70% hands‑on with coding and configuration—embedded directly with client development teams to solve release bottlenecks, eliminate manual overhead, and drive a modern "shift-left" engineering culture.

Tampa, FL | Irving, TX | New York, NY (hybrid - 3 days/week office attendance).

This position is ideal for a seasoned engineer who leads by example and enjoys getting into the code to make engineering safer and faster for developer teams. You will thrive here if you possess a strong engineering ethos, enjoy solving diverse delivery challenges, and bring a pragmatic, hands‑on approach to Dev Ops, SRE, and software delivery.

• Targeted Team Engagements:
  Conduct hands‑on technical interventions with software engineering teams facing challenges in achieving rapid, safe releases or resolving security vulnerabilities.
• Automated Testing & Data Management:
  Build robust, local‑first test suites (including deployment smoke tests) and implement compliant test data sourcing, masking, and integration strategies.
• Pipeline & Deployment Engineering:
  Design and implement automated Continuous Delivery pipelines, automated database migrations (e.g., Liquibase), and infrastructure automation (e.g., Ansible).
• Application Modernization & Containerization:
  Containerize applications for seamless local testing and deployment, and upgrade key runtimes (primarily Java and NPM) and core frameworks (e.g., migrating legacy Spring applications).
• Dependency & Security Management:
  Implement continuous dependency management tools (such as Renovate) to keep libraries up to date, enforce secrets management, and improve security, authentication, and authorization practices.
• Observability & Resilience:
  Standardize logging, overhaul exception handling, establish standard observability patterns, and implement resilient multi‑datacenter deployment strategies.
• Engineering Best Practices:
  Introduce streamlined branch management, optimize code review workflows, and establish modern source control standards across teams.

• Java & TDD Expertise:
  Extensive hands‑on experience with Java, Test‑Driven Development (TDD), and the ability to write high-quality, maintainable production code.
• Framework
  
  Experience:
  
  Spring Framework and Spring Boot.
• Configuration Management:
  Ansible for infrastructure and software automation.
• Testing Strategy & Automation:
  Deep understanding of automated testing strategies—selecting the right test types and leveraging AI tools to drive efficient, high‑coverage testing outcomes.
• JVM Ecosystem & Tooling:
  Strong proficiency with JVM languages, build tools (Gradle, Maven, npm), and Linux environments (RHEL). Type Script experience is a plus.
• Containers &…
