Automate provisioning for compute, storage, networking, and security components.
Deliver customer-facing automation solutions that reduce manual operations and support self-service infrastructure delivery.
Integrate APIs, orchestration tools, and configuration management systems to streamline IaaS lifecycle management.
Collaborate with engineering, security, and operations teams to define automation standards and reusable templates.
Troubleshoot automation pipelines, resolve deployment failures, and optimize performance.
Produce clear documentation for automation processes, modules, and customer-facing runbooks.
Required Qualifications
5+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or cloud automation.
Strong hands-on experience with Terraform, Ansible, or similar IaC and configuration tools.
Experience automating deployments across VMware, Hyper-V, Azure, AWS, or other cloud platforms.
Solid understanding of compute, storage, networking, identity, and security fundamentals.
Experience integrating APIs for automation or building custom automation modules.
Knowledge of CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitLab, etc.).
Strong scripting skills (Python, PowerShell, Bash).
Ability to work directly with customers and deliver production-ready automation.
Nice to Have
Experience with private cloud platforms (VMware vRealize/Aria, OpenStack, Nutanix).
Exposure to Kubernetes, container automation, or service mesh.
Experience with monitoring and observability automation (logging, metrics, alerts).
Background in security automation or compliance-driven environments.
