• Partner with developers to embed IaC into CI/CD pipelines and release workflows.
• Drive improvements in environment reliability, configuration consistency, and infrastructure observability.
• Contribute to infrastructure design discussions with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and operational simplicity.
• Support secure identity and access solutions using Keycloak, and scalable routing with Traefik in containerized environments.
• Lead incident response and root cause analysis, ensuring learnings feed back into IaC practices.

You Have

• Experience designing IaC standards and promoting DevOps/SRE best practices across teams.
• Exposure to policy-as-code (e.g., Sentinel, Open Policy Agent).

Why Join Us

At Ansys, you won’t just support infrastructure—you’ll define how it's built, automated, and scaled. This is a chance to influence platform strategy at a global scale, and be part of a forward-thinking team that’s reshaping software delivery in simulation technology.
