  • Automate server builds, configurations, and patching for Linux and Windows using Terraform, Ansible, and Python.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure changes, including code review and automated deployment.
  • Create hardened golden images and baseline configurations aligned to CIS benchmarks.
  • Automate compliance evidence collection, configuration drift detection, and remediation for audits.
  • Integrate automation with identity, storage, backup, and monitoring platforms.
  • Build and maintain automated utilization reports for forecasting.
  • Participate in troubleshooting, incident response, and on-call rotations.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. Person (i.e. a lawful permanent resident of the U.S.).
  • 7+ years in infrastructure or systems engineering.
  • At least 2 years focused on automation and infrastructure as code.
  • Hands-on experience with Terraform and at least one configuration management tool (Ansible preferred).
  • Strong scripting skills in PowerShell and/or Python.
