Vice President, Software Engineer

Responsibilities

• Perform a comprehensive health and architecture review of SecureTransport, including edge/DMZ configuration, server farms, certificates, transfer routes, and user provisioning.
• Identify and address single points of failure, anti-patterns, and end-of-life issues, and propose solutions to improve stability and security.
• Define and execute a remediation roadmap, simplifying deployment, enhancing high availability, and aligning with Axway-supported reference architecture.
• Validate and improve disaster recovery procedures, including backup and restore processes, and create tested runbooks for seamless operations.
• Harden the DMZ/perimeter posture, ensuring no unnecessary inbound exposures and a secure relay pattern.
• Patch, upgrade, or re-platform components as needed to reach a supported, stable baseline, and explore containerized deployment options.
• Establish proactive monitoring and alerting for transfer flows, with a focus on failed transfers and anomaly detection.
• Produce clear and comprehensive documentation, including architecture diagrams, configuration standards, and operational runbooks.
• Lead structured knowledge transfer and shadowing sessions with the internal team to ensure a smooth transition and ongoing support.

Qualifications

• Current Axway certification in SecureTransport (Axway University / SecureTransport product-line certification) is mandatory and will be validated.
• A minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience with Axway SecureTransport, including deployment, configuration, clustering, and troubleshooting, is essential.
• A demonstrated ability to stabilize and remediate complex, troubled SecureTransport environments is a key requirement.
• Deep knowledge of secure file transfer concepts (SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, AS2, PeSIT), PKI, certificate management, and partner onboarding is crucial.
• Strong experience in designing high availability, disaster recovery, and operational resilience for enterprise MFT platforms is preferred.
• Proficiency in the underlying platform layer, including Linux administration, networking, DMZ patterns, and database management, is necessary.
• Excellent documentation skills and the ability to transfer knowledge effectively to internal staff are vital.
• Prior experience in financial services or a regulated, high-availability environment is an asset.
• Familiarity with containerized SecureTransport deployment and Axway components like Transfer CFT and Sentinel is advantageous.
• Experience integrating SecureTransport with enterprise monitoring, scheduling, and ITSM tools is desirable.
