Senior Java / Automation Engineer (Dynamic Configuration & Cloud Deployments)

Experience Level: 6–10+ years

Location: Pan India Virtusa

Employment Type: Full-time

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Java Engineer with expertise in automation, configuration management, and basic cloud operations to join our engineering team.

In this role, you will take full ownership of building Java applications driven by dynamic configuration, automating configuration deployments with Ansible, and ensuring these applications run reliably in cloud environments. You should be a self-starter who can pull code from repositories, trigger and monitor CI/CD pipelines, debug deployment issues, and trace exceptions directly on live instances.

Key Responsibilities

Java Development & Architecture: Design, build, and maintain core Java applications with a strong focus on runtime configurability and energetic configuration handling.

Configuration Management: Develop and maintain Ansible playbooks and roles to automate the delivery, verification, and updates of application configurations across environments.

Pipeline Execution & Ownership: Take code from source control repositories,

trigger CI/CD deployment pipelines, verify deployment health, and ensure builds are deployed end-to-end.

Cloud Operations & Debugging: Deploy applications to cloud environments (e.g.,

AWS EC2), initiate sessions (SSH / Session Manager), inspect application/system logs, trace stack traces/exceptions, and remediate runtime issues.

End-to-End Reliability: Validate that configurations are accurately applied and that services stay stable, secure, and operational post-deployment.

Collaboration & Maintenance: Support occasional frontend integrations, interface with cross-functional teams, and document deployment workflows.





Qualifications & Requirements

Primary / Must-Have

8–10+ years of hands-on software development experience with core Java (Java

8/11/17+), including design patterns, multithreading, and RESTful architectures.

Proven experience building applications that rely on dynamic external configuration management (e.g., dynamic properties, configuration servers,

environment-based profiles).

Solid, hands-on experience using Ansible for automation, configuration rollout, and server provisioning.

Proficiency with Git workflows (branching, merging, managing pull requests) and triggering/monitoring CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).

Strong independent troubleshooting skills: comfortable working with Linux/Unix command-line tools to monitor processes, analyze logs, and resolve runtime issues.

Secondary / Nice-to-Have

Cloud Infrastructure (AWS preferred)

o Basic hands-on familiarity with virtual servers (e.g., Amazon EC2).

o Ability to open remote sessions (AWS Systems Manager Session Manager or

SSH), verify instance status, check disk/memory usage, and troubleshoot environment variables.

o Experience locating system/application logs in cloud environments and diagnosing exceptions or connection failures.

Frontend: Basic familiarity with Vue.js or modern JavaScript frameworks (to assist with minor UI updates or full-stack troubleshooting) is a plus.

Core Competencies

Self-Driven: High degree of autonomy; capable of taking a feature or deployment task from repository checkout through pipeline trigger to stable production run.

Root-Cause Problem Solver: Adept at tracing runtime failures across the Java runtime, Ansible configs, and host environment.

Reliability Focus: Attentive to configuration consistency, rollbacks, and operational uptime.`
