  • Ensure compliance with data security and GDPR requirements. 
  • Collaborate with Project Managers, Application Owners, and other technical teams. 

Qualifications

  • Strong understanding of JDK distributions (Oracle, OpenJDK, Azul, etc.). 
  • Experience working with Windows, Linux, and Unix servers. 
  • Ability to follow structured technical instructions and processes. 
  • Excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting abilities. 
  • Familiarity with basic application testing (smoke testing, regression).
