We've got a fairly complex Atlassian Jira/Confluence setup and it's
fairly clear (to most of us) that we need to hire someone to manage
it.
In making the case in various ways I'm having trouble figuring out
just what the generic job title is.
It's a person who is deeply familiar with configuring an application
with a complex toolset, who knows Java and understands configuring
java plug-in hierarchies , who understands state diagrams and
workflows , who knows how to define and diagram project management
process flows. The ideal person understands Agile methodology and
knows the tool-specific scripting languages.The person is deeply
familiar with all the features of the particular application and knows
how to tune and optimize it.
But what do you call a person like that?
Application Programmer/Analyst?
Application Engineer?
Technical Business Systems Analyst?
There's always "Jira Adminstrator/Developer" but I'm fishing around
for the generic term. I'm reasonably convinced that it's NOT "Systems
Engineer" or "Systems Administrator". This feels as different from
what we do as DBA work or web programming - it's something we can
understand because it overlaps with our responsibilities, but it is
its own specialty that requires training and experience. It's not
something a sysadmin can dabble at a few hours a month and become an
expert at.
thanks Betsy
