Requirements :

  • 15+ years of applicable experience
  • Automation & IaC Expertise : Advanced proficiency in Ansible and Terraform for infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and automation at scale.
  • Infrastructure as Code / GitOps : Strong knowledge of IaC, Configuration as Code, and GitOps principles and best practices.

  • DevOps & CI / CD : Proficiency with CI / CD pipelines and tooling (e.g., GitLab CI / CD, Packer, Python, or similar scripting languages).
  • Containers & Orchestration : Solid understanding of Docker and Kubernetes for application deployment and management.
  • Security & Compliance : Working knowledge of OS-level hardening, vulnerability remediation, and secure infrastructure design.
  • Networking : Strong foundation in networking fundamentals (Layer 2 / 3, IPv4; IPv6 a plus).
  • Monitoring & Observability : Familiarity with tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK / EFK stacks, CloudWatch, Datadog, or equivalent platforms.
  • Problem-Solving & Troubleshooting : Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues across automation, infrastructure, cloud, and networking layers.
  • Collaboration & Communication : Excellent communication skills with experience working in cross-functional DevOps / Engineering teams.
  • Leadership & Initiative : Self-starter with adaptability, able to thrive in fast-paced, mission-critical environments.
  • Qualifications :

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering or business. MBA preferred.
  • Certifications : AWS certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect, SysOps, or DevOps Engineer) are highly desirable.
  • Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability protected veteran status or other characteristics protected by law.
