• Integrate systems using a wide variety of protocols like GRPC, REST, SOAP, MQ, TCP/IP, JSON and others
• Design and build automated code deployment systems that simplify development work and make our work more consistent and predictable. You’ll do this by orchestrating environment deployment from OS all the way through the application layers of a solution, using tools such as Packer, Docker, Ansible, CI/CD Tools
• Deliver Generic Frameworks to embed Performance and Chaos Testing into All Devops Products. Example: APM Solutions as Injectors and Chaos Mesh Recipes etc.
• Exhibit a deep understanding of server virtualization, networking and storage ensuring that the solution scales and performs with high availability and uptime
• Create mechanisms/architectures that solve for Active-Active and Active-Standby (Failover) scenarios, enable rapid recovery, repair and cleanup of faulty migrations with good understanding of fault tolerance, failure domains and failovers.
