Description

Overview We are seeking an Infrastructure & DevOps Automation Lead with deep expertise in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), configuration management, and cloud-native delivery pipelines. This role is responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing infrastructure automation frameworks that accelerate development velocity, enforce consistency, and enable scalable, repeatable deployment patterns across multi-cloud environments. Core Responsibilities • Lead the design and implementation of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions using Terraform across AWS, Azure, and GCP. • Architect and manage configuration management frameworks (e.g., Ansible, Chef) to maintain consistency, security, and compliance across environments. • Design and operate CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins or equivalent platforms to deliver fully automated, reliable, and traceable software deployments. • Partner with application, data, and SRE teams to define automated build, test, and release workflows that improve delivery frequency and system stability. • Standardize deployment templates, cloud provisioning scripts, and version-controlled infrastructure artifacts to ensure reproducibility and scalability. • Optimize runtime environments using Linux (Red Hat preferred) and modern shell scripting (Bash, Korn, Zsh) for automation and diagnostics. • Implement governance, monitoring, and cost-optimization strategies across multiple cloud platforms. • Apply core SRE principles to infrastructure operations—building systems that are resilient, observable, and self-healing. • Mentor junior engineers, establish IaC best practices, and contribute to DevOps maturity models across the organization. Required Skills & Experience Infrastructure as Code (IaC) • Expert-level proficiency in Terraform (HCL, modules, workspaces, and remote state management). • Strong understanding of cloud provisioning, resource dependencies, and environment orchestration. • Experience managing multi-environment IaC workflows with GitOps-based source control practices. Configuration Management • Expertise in Ansible or Chef for configuration automation and application deployment. • Advanced Linux command line knowledge (process management, permissions, package management). • Proficiency in shell scripting (Bash, Korn, or Zsh) for automation and system diagnostics. CI/CD Pipelines • Proven track record in Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar CI/CD platforms. • Experience designing repeatable delivery pipelines integrating build, test, security scanning, and deployment stages. • Familiarity with container-based workflows (Docker, Kubernetes) and integration with CI/CD pipelines. Cloud & Operating Systems • Strong hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP cloud environments. • Deep understanding of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or derivative distributions in production environments. • Awareness of networking, storage, and security fundamentals within cloud infrastructures. Core SRE Concepts • Knowledge of architectural patterns at scale, including distributed system reliability and high availability. • Application of efficient computer engineering principles—designing systems for simplicity, automation, and resiliency. • Familiarity with monitoring, alerting, and performance engineering as part of infrastructure operations. Preferred Qualifications • Experience integrating IaC pipelines with security compliance frameworks (e.g., Sentinel, OPA, or Conftest). • Exposure to policy-as-code and automated drift detection strategies. • Background in site reliability engineering (SRE), DevSecOps, or platform engineering. • Strong documentation and mentoring skills with an emphasis on knowledge transfer and cross-functional enablement.
