- Monitor service health, application logs, thread dumps, and memory usage; diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks
- Define and enforce TIBCO domain security policies, SSL/TLS configurations, and credential management
- Maintain and evolve CI/CD pipelines for TIBCO deployments using Jenkins and GitLab CI/CD
- Manage source code, branching strategies, merge requests, and release tagging in GitLab

- Implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices for TIBCO environment provisioning
- Collaborate with the DevOps team to containerize legacy TIBCO workloads and migrate them to BWCE where applicable
- Integrate TIBCO platform metrics and logs with enterprise observability tools (e.g., New Relic, Splunk, Dynatrace, ELK)
- Establish alerting thresholds, runbooks, and on-call procedures for critical TIBCO services
- Conduct capacity planning, performance tuning, and disaster recovery exercises
- Maintain SLA compliance for middleware services across all environments (DEV, QA, STAGE, PROD)
- Define and enforce change management procedures for PROD TIBCO configuration changes — including JIRA-tracked approvals, GitLab branch hygiene, and staged validation gates
- Serve as a subject-matter expert (SME) for TIBCO integration patterns and best practices
- Partner with application developers to review integration designs, EMS messaging patterns, and deployment architectures
- Mentor junior administrators and document platform standards, runbooks, and architecture decisions
Skills
- 8+ years of hands-on TIBCO middleware administration experience

- Proficient with TIBCO Enterprise Administrator (TEA) — agent management, application lifecycle, and monitoring dashboards
- Solid experience with GitLab — branching models (GitFlow or trunk-based), MR/PR workflows, protected branches, and pipeline YAML
- Proficiency in Jenkins — Jenkinsfile authoring, shared libraries, multi-branch pipelines, and artifact management
- Strong scripting skills in Unix/Bash — startup/shutdown scripts, cron automation, log parsing, and environment management
- Working knowledge of Python — automation scripts, REST API integrations, and configuration management utilities
- Experience with TIBCO Spotfire, TIBCO Jaspersoft, or TIBCO Data Virtualization for observability or reporting integrations
- Familiarity with Helm, ArgoCD, or FluxCD for GitOps-based deployment of containerized TIBCO workloads
- Exposure to service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd) for microservices traffic management
- Knowledge of Apache Kafka or other messaging platforms — useful for hybrid EMS/Kafka integration patterns
- Experience with Terraform or Ansible for IaC provisioning of cloud and on-premises infrastructure
- Awareness of emerging iPaaS and API Gateway tools (e.g., MuleSoft, Apigee, AWS API Gateway) to support platform evolution roadmap
- TIBCO certification (e.g., TIBCO BW Certified Administrator or Developer) is a strong plus
