Key responsibilities
Axway SecureTransport (MFT)
Design, configure and maintain Axway SecureTransport components: accounts, Business Units, applications, subscriptions, transfer sites, routes and Advanced Routing.
Set up and troubleshoot partner connections over SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, AS2 and PeSIT, including SSH keys, PGP encryption/decryption and certificates.

Integrate scheduler jobs with SecureTransport transfers, for example triggering downstream jobs when a file arrives, or starting outbound transfers on schedule or on an event.
Migrate or convert job definitions between Tidal and Control-M, if applicable.
Configure alerts, restarts and error handling, and support batch operations, including on-call or month-end support where required.
Scripting, automation and operations
Write and maintain Shell (Bash), PowerShell and/or Python scripts for file handling, validation and automation.
Use SecureTransport REST APIs for automated account and partner provisioning.
Follow ITIL processes: incidents, problems, changes, and root-cause analysis for recurring failures.
Keep technical documentation, runbooks and partner onboarding guides up to date.
Security and compliance
Manage certificates, SSH/PGP keys and their renewals, and enforce encryption and access-control standards.
Support audits and compliance requirements (e.g. [SOX / PCI-DSS / HIPAA / GDPR]).
