Overview
The DevOps Engineer, with a strong specialization in Ansible, will be responsible for automating infrastructure and application management, leveraging Ansible to streamline configuration management, deployment, and orchestration processes. Work closely with cross-functional teams to enhance the scalability, security, and performance of the infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- While your primary focus will be on Ansible, we also expect a solid understanding of Terraform to assist in provisioning and managing cloud resources. Your expertise in both automation tools will help drive infrastructure-as-code practices, enabling seamless, reliable, and scalable operations across our systems.

- Troubleshoot and resolve issues across development, testing, and production environments.
- Administer and maintain Ansible infrastructure, providing SME-level support and ensuring best practices are followed.
- Collaborate with the GITM engineering team to design and implement Ansible-based solutions for a distributed data center environment.
- Automate business processes and software deployments using various frameworks and scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash, JavaScript).
- Implement and perform security testing, code reviews, and provide engineering solutions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
- Use Ansible to handle post-Terraform provisioning tasks, such as configuring operating systems, installing software packages, and setting up application services after infrastructure resources are created.
- Automate the configuration management of Terraform-provisioned infrastructure by integrating Ansible playbooks to enforce desired state configurations across cloud and on-prem environments.
- Leverage Ansible for continuous configuration and compliance management, ensuring that Terraform-provisioned infrastructure stays aligned with security and operational policies over time.
