The role is engineering-heavy (software engineering for infrastructure, not basic scripting) and focuses on building and operating production-grade automation frameworks, DSC resources/configurations, and CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps/GitHub for hybrid and cloud environments., * Engineer and maintain production-grade PowerShell automation (functions, modules, packaging, versioning, release management) with an emphasis on reliability, maintainability, and re-use.
- Design, author, and troubleshoot DSC resources and configurations (idempotent behavior; correct Get/Test/Set; LCM troubleshooting; drift detection and remediation).
- Build and operate CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure automation using Azure DevOps and/or GitHub (PR workflows, gated builds, artifact publishing, environment promotion).
- Work effectively in and with open-source projects and communities (fork/PR model, upstream collaboration, issue triage, documentation, and contribution hygiene).
- Troubleshoot complex PowerShell/DSC issues end-to-end (VS Code debugging, logging/telemetry, remoting, authentication, runspaces, and execution policy constraints).
- Translate customer requirements into an automation architecture and implementation plan (scope, assumptions, constraints, and operational model) and deliver through workshops/advisory and hands-on implementation.
- Create high-quality engineering documentation (Markdown) and handover materials; coach peers/partners to ramp up on the solution assets.
