The role requires Go/Java development, experience with Temporal workflows, and integration with ServiceNow.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience developing reusable Terraform modules and custom Terraform providers.
• Strong infrastructure domain knowledge across compute, network, OpenShift/Kubernetes, and load balancing.
• Configuration management experience with Ansible.
• Experience with workflow orchestration platforms such as Temporal or equivalent.
• Proficiency in Go or Java for platform/tooling development.
• CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions, Harness, or similar tools.
• Experience integrating provisioning workflows with Ticketing Tool ServiceNow.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain reusable Terraform modules and custom Terraform providers for self-service infrastructure provisioning.
• Develop a named IaC service catalog, including offerings for VM provisioning, DNS/CNAME records, OCP/Kubernetes namespaces, AVI load balancers, Redis, and AWS SNS.
• Build and operate workflow orchestration using Temporal or an equivalent engine to coordinate multi-step, long-running infrastructure provisioning workflows.
• Develop platform tooling and integrations in Go or Java to extend the IaC platform's capabilities beyond raw Terraform execution.
• Integrate provisioning workflows with ServiceNow APIs for request intake, approvals, and CMDB synchronization, adhering to governance processes.
• Establish guardrails and policy-as-code to prevent non-compliant infrastructure provisioning.
• Utilize Ansible for configuration management workflows alongside Terraform-based provisioning.
• Build CI/CD pipelines for IaC modules using GitHub Actions or Harness.
• Contribute to the self-service portal front-end to enable application teams to request and manage infrastructure without manual tickets.
• Implement drift detection and automated state reconciliation to maintain alignment between deployed infrastructure and its declared IaC state.
• Extend provisioning modules to cover messaging infrastructure and VMware-based network resources.
• Contribute to Workflow/Orchestration Studio design and build, and to AaC-to-IaC generation pipelines.
• Develop adoption metrics and dashboards to track self-service usage, provisioning lead time, and platform ROI.
