Infrastructure Automation

• Develop advanced automation solutions using Ansible, Python, Bash/Shell, and PowerShell to manage enterprise infrastructure at scale.
• Architect and implement end-to-end automation covering provisioning, configuration, patching, maintenance, and decommissioning of infrastructure components.
• Design target-state architectures to modernize and migrate traditional and stateful applications to container platforms such as OpenShift and Kubernetes.
• Define and enforce automation standards, best practices, and reference architectures, with a strong focus on security, reusability, and scalability.
• Implement Kerberos-based authentication for Ansible automation on Windows environments, ensuring secure, compliant, and enterprise-grade access.
• Develop reusable Ansible playbooks, roles, collections, and custom plugins/modules, integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
• Automate Windows Server operations and application life cycle management, including patching, compliance, and routine maintenance activities.
• Deliver cross-platform automation for Windows, Linux, and network devices using Ansible, Python, and PowerShell.
• Apply software engineering principles (code quality, version control, testing, documentation) to all infrastructure automation assets.
• Collaborate with infrastructure, security, and application teams to co-design and implement automation workflows aligned with enterprise standards.
• Mentor and coach junior engineers, providing guidance on architecture, governance, and automation best practices.

• Strong hands-on experience with Ansible (roles, playbooks, collections, modules) in large enterprise environments.
• Proficiency in Python for automation, Scripting, and custom tooling.
• Strong Scripting knowledge in PowerShell and Bash/Shell.
• Solid experience managing Windows Server environments through automation.
• Hands-on exposure to CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows for infrastructure as code.
• Experience with container platforms such as OpenShift/Kubernetes, especially for stateful workloads.
• Strong understanding of enterprise security practices, authentication mechanisms, and compliance requirements.
• Ability to design automation with high availability, resiliency, and auditability in mind.

Good to Have

• Go (Golang) experience for tooling or automation frameworks.
• Exposure to enterprise identity systems, Kerberos, Active Directory, and secure automation patterns.
• Experience supporting or migrating Legacy/stateful workloads to cloud-native platforms.
