• 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.
