• Develop and govern Ansible playbooks and roles for configuration management, ensuring consistency, security, and drift remediation
• Define and enforce Infrastructure as Code (IaC) standards, including naming conventions, modular design, testing, and code quality practices
• Build and manage CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure automation, including validation, testing, approvals, and controlled releases
• Integrate infrastructure automation with enterprise platforms such as Git, CI/CD tools, and ServiceNow for self-service provisioning and orchestration
• Implement security and compliance controls within automation workflows, including secrets management, policy enforcement, and audit readiness
• Develop and enhance observability and reporting, including dashboards for infrastructure health, automation success/failure, and compliance metrics
• Investigate and resolve complex automation failures and performance issues, driving root cause analysis and continuous improvement
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support onboarding and adoption of automation platforms and tools
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance to engineers, promoting best practices and engineering excellence

What we value

These skills will help you succeed in this role:

• Strong hands-on experience with Terraform (enterprise scale preferred) and Ansible Automation Platform for infrastructure provisioning and configuration management
• Deep understanding of Infrastructure as Code principles, modular design, and configuration management practices
• Experience with multi-cloud platforms (AWS / Azure preferred) and hybrid infrastructure environments
• Strong scripting skills (Python / PowerShell / Bash) and proficiency in YAML, HCL, and Git-based workflows
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automation testing, and release management practices
• Knowledge of security and compliance frameworks (CIS, NIST, PCI, etc.) and ability to embed controls within automation
• Familiarity with observability tools (Splunk, Grafana, monitoring/logging platforms) and operational reporting
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder collaboration skills with an ability to work across global teams

Education & Preferred Qualifications

• A bachelor’s degree in information technology, Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field is required
• 10+ years of experience in Infrastructure Automation, DevOps, or Platform Engineering roles
• Relevant certifications such as Terraform, AWS/Azure, or Ansible are preferred
