Original job description

Platform Operations Engineer – Monitoring, Automation & Security

Cambridge, ON (4 days on-site, 1 day/week remote)
Full-time (40 hrs/week)

Must Haves

Datadog
Node-RED / JavaScript and Directus
xMatters (or a similar incident alerting platform)
Python scripting and automation
Trellix endpoint protection and Zscaler
SSL certificate lifecycle management
Cyber security controls and incident response
Strong project management and prioritization skills

Nice to Haves

Java application servers: WebSphere, JBoss
Nginx (reverse proxy / WAF)
Network monitoring: Entuity, PRTG
Databases: SQL Server, PostgreSQL/EDB, Oracle, MongoDB
SAP Basis and SAP Security
Security tools: Qualys, Forescout, Passwordstate
Power Platform on-premises data gateway

What we're looking for

We’re looking for a hands-on platform operations engineer to join a team supporting a diverse, integrated technology stack. This isn’t a single-specialty role. You’ll work across monitoring, integration and security tools, balancing incidents, problem management and project delivery.

What You’ll Do

Build and maintain monitoring, dashboards and alerting in Datadog
Manage incident alerting, on-call scheduling and escalations in xMatters
Build integrations and automated workflows using Node-RED (JavaScript), Directus and Python
Administer endpoint protection (Trellix) and secure access policies (Zscaler)
Own the SSL certificate lifecycle: issuance, renewal and troubleshooting
Work with corporate Cyber Security on controls, monitoring and incident response
Handle incidents, problems and project deliverables at the same time
Use automation (PowerShell, Ansible) and AI tools (Copilot, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to speed up scripting, troubleshooting and documentation
Take part in after-hours and weekend support

Who You Are

You’re comfortable switching between areas, you pick up unfamiliar technology quickly, and you don’t wait to be told what needs doing. You take work from idea through implementation and ongoing support, and you lead by taking initiative and guiding others technically. Strong at adapting but haven’t used every tool on the list? We still want to hear from you.
