Job Title

Senior Axway SecureTransport Advanced Routing Engineer

Location

Columbus, Ohio

Role Overview

We are seeking a candidate with hands-on Axway SecureTransport (ST) engineering experience in designing, building, and supporting Advanced Routing (AR) for managed file transfers (MFT). The ideal candidate is proficient with an Axway ST 5.5-2026x platform running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), ST MFT automation, enterprise security practices, and can operate in a highly regulated, mission-critical environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement Advanced Routing flows that enforce partner-specific policies and SLAs.
• Perform 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, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and runbooks for ST operations.
• Communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders; prioritize workload and meet deadlines.
• 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.
• 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 SecureTransport.
• 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.

Required Skills

• 5+ years administering Axway SecureTransport in production.
• 5+ years Linux/RHEL system administration.
• 3+ years designing/supporting Advanced Routing (policies, routes, partners, transfer sites, subscriptions, schedules).
• 3+ years Tier-3 operational troubleshooting across ST protocols and routing decisions.
• 3+ years enterprise security (SSH/PKI/PGP, TLS, certificates).
• Axway SecureTransport architecture, deployment, and administration on RHEL.
• SecureTransport Advanced Routing concepts: route design, policy configuration, subscriptions, partner setup, rule evaluation, and SLA enforcement.
• Secure transport protocols: SFTP/SSH, HTTPS/TLS, FTPS, and message security (PGP/GPG).
• Enterprise networking fundamentals relevant to ST operations (load balancers, firewalls, NAT, DNS, IP subnets, routing).
• Identity & access management and role-based access control for ST users and partners.
• Observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Splunk, Dynatrace) and log analysis techniques for MFT platforms.
• Certificate lifecycle management (CSRs, issuance, renewal, pinning) and trust store/key store administration.
• Security hardening aligned to enterprise/CIS/NIST guidance and audit requirements.

Preferred Skills

• Relevant certifications (Linux/Security/Axway).
