Job Description: Axway Developer (SecureTransport / Tidal / Control-M)

Location: Remote

Experience: 5–8 years

About the role

We are looking for an Axway Developer to design, build and support secure managed file transfer (MFT) and B2B integrations using Axway SecureTransport. You will connect file transfer flows to enterprise job scheduling in Tidal Workload Automation and BMC Control-M. You'll work with application teams, infrastructure, security and external trading partners to keep file-based integrations reliable, secure and automated.

Key responsibilities

Axway SecureTransport (MFT)

• Design, configure and maintain Axway SecureTransport components: accounts, Business Units, applications, subscriptions, transfer sites, routes and Advanced Routing.
• Set up and troubleshoot partner connections over SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, AS2 and PeSIT, including SSH keys, PGP encryption/decryption and certificates.
• Onboard internal and external trading partners: gather requirements, configure, test connectivity and support go-live.
• Build transfer flows with post-processing, file renaming, archiving, compression and notifications.
• Manage SecureTransport Edge (DMZ) and Server (internal) tiers, clusters and high availability.
• Plan and run upgrades, patches and update packs, with backups, regression testing and rollback plans.
• Monitor transfers with SecureTransport logs and Axway Sentinel / Decision Insight (if used), and resolve failed transfers within SLA.

Job scheduling: Tidal and Control-M

• Design, develop and maintain job flows in Tidal Workload Automation (TWA) and BMC Control-M. This covers jobs, job groups and folders, calendars, dependencies, file watchers and event triggers.
• Integrate scheduler jobs with SecureTransport transfers, for example triggering downstream jobs when a file arrives, or starting outbound transfers on schedule or on an event.
• Migrate or convert job definitions between Tidal and Control-M, if applicable.
• Configure alerts, restarts and error handling, and support batch operations, including on-call or month-end support where required.

Scripting, automation and operations

• Write and maintain Shell (Bash), PowerShell and/or Python scripts for file handling, validation and automation.
• Use SecureTransport REST APIs for automated account and partner provisioning.
• Follow ITIL processes: incidents, problems, changes, and root-cause analysis for recurring failures.
• Keep technical documentation, runbooks and partner onboarding guides up to date.

Security and compliance

• Manage certificates, SSH/PGP keys and their renewals, and enforce encryption and access-control standards.
• Support audits and compliance requirements (e.g. `[SOX / PCI-DSS / HIPAA / GDPR]`).

Required qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on experience with Axway SecureTransport (configuration, administration and development).
• 3+ years with Control-M and/or Tidal scheduling: job design, dependencies, calendars, troubleshooting.
• Strong knowledge of file transfer protocols (SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, AS2) and security concepts (TLS, PKI, SSH keys, PGP).
• Experience on Linux/Unix and Windows Server.
• Scripting in Shell, PowerShell or Python.
• Working knowledge of SQL and at least one database (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL or MySQL).
• Experience troubleshooting network connectivity: firewalls, load balancers, DNS, ports.
• Good communication skills for working with external partners and internal teams.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with Axway B2Bi / Interchange, Transfer CFT, Gateway or Sentinel.
• Experience on cloud platforms (Azure / AWS), including cloud VMs and storage (NFS / Azure Files / S3).
• Exposure to Control-M Automation API, Control-M MFT, or the Tidal REST API.
• CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code (Git, Jenkins/Azure DevOps, Ansible/Terraform).
• Axway or BMC certifications.
• ITSM tools experience (ServiceNow, Jira).
