  • IaC Development: Design, develop, and implement automation for repetitive infrastructure tasks such as server builds, software installation/upgrades, database patching, and operating system patching using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation), alongside Shell and Python scripting.
  • Automated Application Environment Setup: Automate the setup and configuration of application frameworks and middleware, including but not limited to IBM WebSphere, WebLogic, Tomcat, WMQ, and other messaging services, ensuring seamless connectivity with upstream and downstream systems.
  • Strategic Planning & Problem Solving: Create comprehensive project plans, perform thorough impact analyses, and proactively identify and resolve high-impact infrastructure problems through automated solutions to restore services efficiently.
  • Root Cause Analysis: Drive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) post service restoration, implementing automated preventative measures and permanent solutions.
  • Infrastructure Design: Review application requirements, define infrastructure-as-code specifications, and continuously examine and update infrastructure processes and procedures to align with automation best practices.
  • Network & Security Fundamentals: Possess a strong understanding of Virtual IP, Load Balancers, and Firewalls, integrating network configuration into automated deployments.
  • Technical Leadership: Provide technical and strategic direction, acting as an advisor and coach to junior engineers in infrastructure automation and IaC methodologies.
  • CI/CD Integration: Implement and maintain Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for infrastructure changes, ensuring automated, reliable, and consistent deployments.
  • Unix/Linux Automation: Leverage extensive hands-on Unix/Linux experience for automating application environment setups, debugging complex issues, and developing robust automation scripts.
  • Architectural Contributions: Contribute to technical direction and strategic decisions by preparing, discussing, and implementing strategic automated solutions to proactively prevent recurring issues.
  • Autonomy & Ownership: Operate effectively with a limited level of direct supervision, taking ownership of automation initiatives from conception to deployment.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to senior stakeholders and team members, articulating complex technical concepts clearly.
  • Cross-Functional Coordination: Coordinate infrastructure automation activities with Solution Architects, System Administrators, and other solution teams.
  • Change Management: Comfortable working with Service Now change management processes, seeking opportunities to integrate automation for streamlined approvals and deployments.
  • Documentation & Standards: Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for automated infrastructure processes, playbooks, and guidelines.

Technical Expertise:
  • Proficiency in designing, writing, debugging, and automating tasks using Unix/Shell scripting, Python scripting, and IaC tools such as Ansible, Terraform, and CloudFormation.
  • Mandatory knowledge of Red Hat OpenShift to support environment setup, pipeline configuration, and troubleshoot issues related to deployments, routes, and certificates.
  • Strong understanding of network architecture, including Virtual IP/Wide IP, Load Balancing, and Always-on design and setup.
  • Proven experience in automating platform migration and upgrade activities, including OS and Database migration for Unix and Windows environments.
  • Working knowledge of Certificates, SSL, Connectivity, and Firewall rules in an automated deployment context.

Good to Have Expertise:
  • Experience with migrating legacy applications to Cloud technologies (e.g., Kubernetes, OpenShift, AWS, Azure, GCP) using IaC principles.
  • Experience in building and consuming APIs for infrastructure automation.
  • Working knowledge of CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, or Udeploy for infrastructure pipelines.
  • Expertise in designing SQL databases, writing SQL scripts and procedures, and familiarity with BI Tools.
  • Working experience with CyberArk and AIM Integration for secrets management in automated workflows.

Qualifications:
  • 10-14 years of experience in Infrastructure Technologies delivery with a proven track record of operational process change and improvement through automation.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with virtual and in-person teams, and perform effectively under pressure or tight deadlines.
