·        Security hardening aligned to enterprise/CIS/NIST guidance and audit requirements


Skills


·        Design and implement Advanced Routing flows that enforce partner‑specific policies and SLAs


·        Tier‑3 troubleshooting across OS, network, and ST application layers; drive root‑cause 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 non‑technical stakeholders; prioritize workload and meet deadlines


Abilities


Secure Transport – Advanced Routing


·        Model and configure Advanced Routing decisions for complex partner ecosystems, including conditional logic and error‑handling 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
