Job Description

An employer is looking to hire Ansible Developers to join their Enterprise SRE COE team. This team is responsible for creating development standards, compliance, and metrics for all of the organization's development teams, in order to reduce outages and issues in production. This role will be supporting their failover automation initiative. This role is critical in transforming manual, complex failover processes into streamlined, push-button automation using Ansible, Ansible Tower, and modern DevOps practices. Youll work closely with database teams, application owners, and network engineers to build a robust automation framework that supports multi-database failover, network rerouting, and application-level resilience. This person will assist in the effort to create a push-button failover system that enables real-time disaster recovery across their critical applications. You will help create a dashboard-drive automation suite that empowers teams to manage failovers with confidence, reduce toil, and improve customer experience during outages.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain Ansible playbooks and workflows in Ansible Tower for disaster recovery and failover automation.

• Collaborate with DBAs and infrastructure teams to automate failover processes across various relational databases (Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server).

• Integrate with tools like Pronghorn to automate DNS failovers and routing logic.

• Build self-healing scripts and automation patterns for large-scale, asynchronous, message-driven applications

• Develop templates and reusable patterns for database, application, and network failover scenarios.

• Contribute to the design of a centralized failover console with visual indicators (red/green status) and dependency mapping.

• Work with GitLab for version control and CI/CD integration of automation scripts.

• Support Kubernetes-based scaling strategies during failover (ramp down/up workloads).

• Participate in building a framework for operational readiness, including blue-green deployments, observability, and non-functional requirements.
