Perform performance engineering:
capacity planning, tuning (OS, JVM, MQ, DB connections), and throughput optimization.
Manage security posture:
vulnerability remediation, patching, certificate and key management, and adherence to hardening standards. Partner with business analysts, QA, developers, and release managers to deliver changes through the SDLC; contribute to requirements, design, testing, and documentation.
