- Develop governance frameworks for Java usage, ensuring alignment with enterprise security and compliance standards.
- Lead the technical strategy for migrating from Oracle JDK to approved alternatives (e.g., Amazon Corretto).
- Analyze fleet-level data to identify unmanaged or non-compliant Java usage and recommend remediation plans.
- Serve as a technical advisor to cross-functional teams on best practices for Java runtime lifecycle management.
Qualifications:
- 8+ years of experience in software engineering, infrastructure, or architecture roles with deep understanding of the Java platform.
- Proven experience in deploying, packaging, or managing JDK/JREs at scale in enterprise environments.
- Strong scripting or automation skills (e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell) for discovery and system integration.
- Solid understanding of Java licensing, especially Oracle's commercial licensing changes.
- Familiarity with endpoint or fleet management tools (e.g., SCCM, JAMF, Puppet, Intune).
- Ability to analyze complex system landscapes and design practical, scalable solutions.
- Strong communication skills for cross-org influence, including collaboration with legal, finance, and engineering stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Amazon Corretto.
- Prior involvement in compliance, software asset management, or platform rationalization initiatives.
- Familiarity with building or contributing to internal discovery tooling or inventory systems.
- AWS experience, especially in EC2 image management, Systems Manager, or automation frameworks.
