System administration

Overview

We are seeking a candidate with hands-on Axway SecureTransport (ST) engineering experience with designing, building, and supporting Advanced Routing (AR) for managed file transfers (MFT). The ideal candidate is proficient with an Axway ST 5.5-2026x platform running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), ST MFT automation, enterprise security practices, and can operate in a highly regulated, mission-critical environment.

Total years of relevant Experience

• 5+ years administering Axway SecureTransport in production
• 5+ years Linux/RHEL system administration
• 3+ years designing/supporting Advanced Routing (policies, routes, partners, transfer sites, subscriptions, schedules)
• 3+ years Tier3 operational troubleshooting across ST protocols and routing decisions
• 3+ years enterprise security (SSH/PKI/PGP, TLS, certificates)

Preferred Education

• Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent technical study; relevant certifications (Linux/Security/Axway) a plus.

Role description

• Remote
• 8 10 hours per day
• M F, JFS core hours: 7:00 a.m. 6:00 p.m. ET (any 8 10 hours within those times)
• Subject to oncall rotation for missioncritical transfers

Knowledge

• Axway SecureTransport architecture, deployment, and administration on RHEL
• SecureTransport Advanced Routing concepts: route design, policy configuration, subscriptions, partner setup, rule evaluation, and SLA enforcement
• Secure transport protocols: SFTP/SSH, HTTPS/TLS, FTPS and message security (PGP/GPG)
• Enterprise networking fundamentals relevant to ST operations (load balancers, firewalls, NAT, DNS, IP subnets, routing)
• Identity & access management and rolebased access control for ST users and partners
• Observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Splunk, Dynatrace) and log analysis techniques for MFT platforms
• Certificate lifecycle management (CSRs, issuance, renewal, pinning) and trust store/key store administration
• Security hardening aligned to enterprise/CIS/NIST guidance and audit requirements

Skills

• Design and implement Advanced Routing flows that enforce partnerspecific policies and SLAs
• Tier3 troubleshooting across OS, network, and ST application layers; drive rootcause analysis and remediation
• Develop lightweight scripts to support operations (log parsing, certificate validation, routing checks)
• Create and maintain partner/configuration objects (users, roles, routes, policies, certificates, keys)
• Produce clear technical documentation, SOPs, and runbooks for ST operations
• Communicate effectively with technical and nontechnical stakeholders; prioritize workload and meet deadlines

Abilities

• SecureTransport Advanced Routing
• Model and configure Advanced Routing decisions for complex partner ecosystems, including conditional logic and errorhandling behaviors
• Validate routing integrity, perform test transfers, and document routing controls and escalations
• Manage certificate/key rotation schedules and ensure alignment with enterprise policies
• Technical Advisor
• Collaborate with application, security, and network teams to ensure secure, compliant data flows
• Advise stakeholders on routing impacts, partner onboarding standards, and security considerations
• Champion operational best practices for monitoring, alerting, and incident response within ST
• Operational Quality
• Implement and tune monitoring/alerting for routing flows, partner failures, certificate expirations, and transfer health
• Author and maintain SOPs, runbooks, and knowledge articles for common operational scenarios
• Support audit/compliance activities and vulnerability remediation related to ST routing and partner configurations
