• Collaborate with DevOps and development teams to standardize infrastructure and deployment processes
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and CI/CD workflows

Required Skills & Experience

• Hands-on expertise in Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices
• Experience with GitOps methodologies and CI/CD pipelines (preferably Jenkins and GitHub Actions)
• Programming/scripting experience in Python, Golang, or similar
• Experience with security tools like HashiCorp Vault and cloud security policies
• Familiarity with configuration management tools (Ansible preferred)
• Experience integrating automation tools (Slack bots, Jira workflows, etc.)
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Excellent communication skills in a global, distributed team environment

Nice to Have

• Experience with tools such as Kong, Jenkins (advanced), NetScaler (Citrix), Route 53
• Monitoring & observability tools like Grafana
• Artifact repositories such as Nexus or Artifactory
• Exposure to multi-region and multi-cloud architectures
• Familiarity with Temporal/Cadence and HashiCorp Consul

What You’ll Bring

• A strong ownership mindset with the ability to design and implement end-to-end solutions
• Passion for automation, scalability, and cloud-native technologies
• Ability to work independently in a fully remote, fast-paced environment
