You will manageJava application servers (WebSphere/WebLogic/JBoss EAP/Tomcat),messaging platforms (IBM MQ/RabbitMQ/Kafka), andweb gateways (NGINX/Apache HTTP/IIS)onVMware vSpherewith integrations acrossvSAN/SAN/NAS storageandNSXT networking. The role emphasizesavailability, performance, automation, patching, and strong change/incident management. Key Responsibilities 1) Middleware Platform Operations Install, configure, and administerWebSphere/WebLogic/JBoss EAP/Tomcat(profiles/domains, JVM tuning, JDBC/JMS, datasources, connection pools, thread pools). Operateweb servers & gateways(NGINX/Apache HTTP/IIS: vhosts, reverse proxy, WAF rules, TLS offload). Administermessagingplatforms (IBM MQqueue managers/channels,RabbitMQclusters/vhosts/policies, orKafkabrokers/topics/ACLs) and manage durable messaging, HA, and consumer lag. Executepatching/upgrades(fix packs, CPUs/PSUs), plugin updates, and compatibility validations. 2) Deployments & Release Enablement SupportCI/CDreleases (Jenkins/GitLab/Azure DevOps), artifact promotion, env configs, and rollout/rollback strategies (bluegreen/canary where applicable).
