## Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Ansible Automation Platform Engineer to support a large-scale automation transformation initiative focused on migrating from BMC BladeLogic to Ansible Automation Platform (AAP). This multi-year project will involve building, deploying, administering, and enhancing the Ansible Automation Platform while modernizing existing automation capabilities.
The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience deploying and administering AAP, along with strong scripting skills in Python and YAML. This role requires more than playbook development; the engineer must understand platform administration, system design, automation architecture, and the implementation of customized automation solutions.
The project will begin with proof-of-concept (POC) work, with broader implementation expected to ramp up as the initiative progresses. The current environment operates on virtual machines, with a planned future transition to OpenShift.
