Work closely with both the development teams and the Release Coordinator to define build and deployment requirements. Answers check-in/check-out and deploy questions for the development teams, while serving as the conduit between the development teams and the SCM team for tool related questions and process improvement opportunities. Similar experience with other SCM (Harvest, Clearcase, etc), Build (Openmake, ANT scripts, etc) and CI (Meister, Hudson, etc) tools will be considered, depending on candidate pool.

The hiring manager answered some questions about this requisition.
Q: Is the Java environment JBoss, Websphere, or both?
A: JBOSS.
Q: If the candidate has experience with some but not all of the build
tools listed, would they be a good candidate, assuming all other
aspects are good?
A: Having just some of the build tool experience will be considered.
Q: "Java development" is in the primary skill, but the details tend to be mostly about build/deployment. Do you have an idea of the split between development types of activities and build/deployment types of activities?
A: Experience with Java development techniques and methodologies will
be very important for this position, but the individual will not be
doing actual development it will be nearly all build and deployment
activities.
1. This person will be working on multiple projects.
2. Interviews- in-person preferred but video conference is OK.
3. This is new and on-going development
