• Collaborate with AI/ML teams to embed automation signals into AIOps pipelines.

• Cloud, Security, and ITSM teams to drive automation maturity.

What You'll Need:

• 7–12+ years in Architecture, DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering.

• Expert‑level proficiency with Ansible (playbooks, roles, collections, Jinja2, modules).

• Hands‑on experience designing and operating Ansible Automation Platform (AAP).

• Strong experience with Terraform, Chef, or other IaC tools.

• Deep Linux engineering background and configuration management expertise.

• Expert in integrating automation with ServiceNow (CMDB, ITSM, workflows).

• Exceptional scripting skills (Python, Bash, PowerShell).

• Experience with AWS/Azure/GCP automation.

• Experience with Kubernetes, containerization, and orchestration.

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience implementing Agentic AI or AIOps‑driven automation.

• Experience with event‑driven automation (StackStorm, EventBridge, Rundeck).

• Experience with network automation (Ansible Network, NAPALM, Netmiko).

• Certifications: RHCE, RHCA, Terraform Associate, AWS/Azure Architect.
