Infrastructure Automation

• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform across cloud and/or virtualized environments.
• Automate configuration, provisioning, patching, and deployments using Ansible across Linux/Unix and Windows estates.
• Standardize environments (dev/test/stage/prod), build reusable modules/playbooks, and enforce configuration consistency (prevent drift).

Hybrid / Enterprise Infrastructure Operations

• Operate and troubleshoot infrastructure components end-to-end, including:
• Compute (VMs/servers), virtualization platforms (e.g., VMware or equivalent),
• Networking (DNS, routing, VPNs, proxies), load balancers, firewalls/security controls,
• Partner with application teams to ensure infrastructure supports scalable, reliable application delivery.

Security & Vulnerability Remediation (Must-Have)

• Own vulnerability remediation workflows across OS, middleware, images, and dependencies:
• scanning triage patch/upgrade validation reporting
• Support hardening standards (baseline configs, least privilege, secrets handling, access controls) and help close audit findings.

CI/CD & Release Enablement

• Implement and support CI/CD automation (e.g., Jenkins, Spinnaker, Cloud Deployment ) to improve release reliability.
• Enable safe release patterns (blue/green, canary, automated rollback), and enforce quality/security gates (e.g., SonarQube, scanning steps).

Observability & Monitoring

• Build and maintain monitoring/alerting and dashboards using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Dynatrace, Splunk, and cloud-native monitoring where relevant.
• Improve MTTR through better telemetry (metrics/logs/traces), service dashboards, and well-defined escalation paths.

Reliability Engineering (SRE)

• Define and drive reliability outcomes (availability, latency, resilience, recoverability) using SLIs/SLOs where applicable.
• Reduce alert fatigue by tuning alerts, improving signal-to-noise, and maintaining actionable runbooks.

• Strong experience in SRE / DevOps / Infrastructure Engineering / Production Operations.
• Proven hands-on automation with Terraform and Ansible in real production environments.
• Strong administration and troubleshooting across Windows and Unix/Linux.
• Experience supporting enterprise infrastructure areas (compute, network, storage, load balancing, security controls).
• Practical incident management experience (on-call, RCA/postmortems, operational improvements).
• Demonstrated experience with vulnerability remediation (not just monitoring actual patching and verification).
