Comment:- This requirement is specifically for ForgeRock Platform Engineers, not a ForgeRock developer. The selected candidate will be responsible for platform administration, server maintenance, deployments, automation, monitoring, and operational support. Therefore, DevOps skills are a core requirement and cannot be compromised. Experience with Java is desirable but should be treated as a nice-to-have skill rather than a mandatory one.

Mandatory Skills:

• Identity & Access Management: ForgeRock, PingIdentity, OAuth 2.0
• Programming & Frameworks: Python, Go (Golang), Java Spring Boot (facade architecture)
• Infrastructure & DevOps: Terraform, Linux server maintenance (VMs), Ansible
