About the role

We are seeking a Platform Engineer to fill an immediate need leading the deployment of the RAD production system across three network environments.

• Deployment Process Engineering: Design, establish, and document a repeatable deployment process and pipeline for delivering the system and its updates across all target networks
• Application Modification: Modify and troubleshoot system components built with Java Spring (back-end) and Vue.js (front-end) as needed to support deployment, configuration, and environment-specific requirements
• Environment Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve issues spanning infrastructure, middleware, and application layers during environment standup and stabilization
• Collaboration: Work closely with the existing DevOps team, software developers, and system engineers to align deployment practices with the broader RAD architecture and operational standards
