Job description

We are seeking a highly capable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and management of automated infrastructure provisioning for high-performance AI data centers.

This role is central to orchestrating compute, network, storage, and virtualization layers using modern IaC tools across on-premises and hybrid cloud environments.

The ideal candidate will play a strategic role in enabling scalable and repeatable deployment pipelines that support GPU clusters, AI model training environments, and containerized platforms such as Kubernetes and Responsibilities :

• Design and implement IaC frameworks to automate the provisioning and configuration of data center infrastructure for AI workloads.
• Orchestrate and manage multi-layer automation across compute (GPU / CPU), networking (VXLAN, EVPN, BGP), storage (NVMe, object, parallel file systems), and virtualization platforms (KVM, VMware, OpenShift).
• Develop reusable Terraform modules, Ansible playbooks, and YAML templates to define infrastructure in version-controlled environments.
• Automate deployment of Kubernetes clusters and integrate with GPU operators for training and inference pipelines.
• Build and maintain CI / CD pipelines to deploy, test, and manage infrastructure changes using tools like GitLab CI / CD, Jenkins, or ArgoCD.
• Integrate with monitoring and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, DCGM) for automated infrastructure validation and health monitoring.
• Work closely with AI / ML platform teams to align infrastructure deployment with model training, data pipelines, and security policies.
• Ensure compliance with security and operational standards through policy-as-code and drift detection Skills & Experience :

• Strong understanding of networking (VXLAN, EVPN, BGP, RoCE) and virtualization platforms (OpenShift, VMware, KVM).
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, Helm, Operators, and container orchestration frameworks.
• Exposure to storage automation for AI data lakes (e.g., Ceph, BeeGFS, Lustre, or S3-compatible storage).
• Experience with CI / CD tools (GitLab CI / CD, Jenkins, ArgoCD, Flux) in IaC Certifications :
• HashiCorp Certified : Terraform Associate
• Red Hat Certified Specialist in Ansible Automation
• CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) or equivalent
• Cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, or GCP preferred for hybrid orchestration)
