• Implement systems using reliable, version-controlled Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and Configuration-as-Code (CaC) methods.

• Administer, maintain, and develop automation tools (e.g. CI/CD) to facilitate application development, deployment, and maintenance activities.

• Define and monitor metrics for performance reporting and error detection.

• Integrate AWS, Azure, and on-premises systems for seamless operations.

• Lead workshops and training sessions to share knowledge with the team.

Collaboration and Troubleshooting

• Work closely with peers, Development, Network, Systems, and Security teams to design and implement scalable, reliable, fit-for-purpose systems.

• Advocate for best practices (e.g. build/test/deploy, as-code, low/no-touch)

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues across cloud and on-premises environments.

Planning, Documentation, and Reporting

• Contribute to team roadmap planning by understanding the needs and initiatives of development teams and other stakeholders.

• Document and maintain procedures for system configurations and deployments.

• Prepare reports on infrastructure performance, cost projections, and improvement plans.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Collaborative attitude, comfortable in both mentoring and learning roles, and not just open to critical feedback but eager for it.

• Experience automating applications on public cloud platforms (e.g. AWS, Azure).

• Experience consuming on-premises virtualization solutions (e.g. Nutanix, VMware).

• Experience using as-code infrastructure, image creation, server automation tools (e.g. Terraform, Docker, Packer, Ansible, PowerShell DSC).
