Allentown, NY (REMOTE)

Duration:
Long Term Contract

We’re seeking a Global Scape EFT (Enhanced File Transfer) Process Developer to design, build, harden, and support enterprise‑grade managed file transfer workflows. The contractor will own Advanced Workflow Engine (AWE) development, vendor onboarding, secure transmission (SFTP/HTTPS), DMZ Gateway configuration, high availability across data centers, and robust error‑handling with clear operational documentation. This role partners closely with Networking, Firewall, Load Balancer, Security/Zscaler, and business stakeholders to deliver reliable, auditable, customer‑facing file transfer services.

• Workflow Design & Development (AWE):
  • Build advanced, modular EFT workflows: conditional logic, parallel processing, retries/backoff, idempotency, SLA timers, and robust notifications (email).
  • Implement processes that wait for multiple input files, fan out to multiple vendors, and produce a single consolidated acknowledgment/signal file.
  • Handle validations, transformations (PGP encrypt/decrypt, compress/uncompress), and archiving.
• Platform Configuration & Administration:
  • Configure Sites, Users/Groups, permissions, virtual folders, connection profiles (SFTP/HTTPS/Work spaces).
  • Manage DMZ Gateway, high availability/clustering, and redundancy across SDC and BOC (or equivalent data centers).
  • Administer certificates/keys (TLS/PKI, SSH keys, PGP), cipher policies, mTLS, IP restrictions, and audit logging.
• Networking & Load Balancing:
  • Collaborate with teams on SSL passthrough/offload, persistence, and health monitors.
  • Troubleshoot intermittent connectivity across firewalls, Zscaler/proxies, NAT, routing, and DNS, driving root cause and permanent fixes.
• Integration & Automation:
  • Integrate EFT with external systems via REST/SOAP APIs, databases (SQL Server), and ticketing (Service Now).
  • Script tooling (Power Shell) for automation, test harnesses, and repeatable deployments.
• Operational Excellence & Documentation:
  • Create architecture diagrams, sequence/data flow diagrams, and error‑handling matrices.
  • Define KPIs/SLAs; implement health checks, metrics, and alerting for proactive monitoring.
  • Lead vendor onboarding: requirements capture, connection validation, UAT, cutover planning, and post go live stabilization.

• 5+ years administering and developing on Global Scape EFT, including Advanced Workflow Engine (AWE), Work spaces, and DMZ Gateway.
• Deep expertise with SFTP/HTTPS, SSH key management, TLS/PKI, and PGP encryption.
• Strong scripting skills in Power Shell; experience with REST APIs, JSON/XML.
• Solid networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, NAT, routing, firewall ACLs, proxies (e.g., Zscaler), and certificate chains.
• Hands‑on with F5 BIG IP (LTM): SSL bridging/passthrough, persistence, health monitors, SNAT/iRules.
• Security/compliance mindset (least privilege, auditing, data protection; familiarity with SOX is a plus).
• Experience with environment promotion, change management (ITIL/Service Now), and writing clear, professional documentation.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement—able to translate complex technical issues into concise updates.

• Experience with other MFT platforms (IBM Sterling, Go Anywhere, MOVEit) and migration/consolidation projects.
• Cloud integration (Azure/AWS), private endpoints, Key Vault/Cyber Ark, Express Route, storage services (S3/Azure Blob).
• AD/LDAP integration with EFT; MFA/SSO patterns.
• Performance tuning and capacity planning for high volume, customer‑facing transfers.
