• Design, build, and maintain scalable infrastructure automation pipelines using Jenkins and scripted pipelines in Groovy
• Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, patching, deployment, and more with Ansible and Terraform

• Collaborate across Dev, QA, and IT teams to deliver outcomes driven by business requirements
• Monitor and improve system availability, reliability, and security
• Maintain clear documentation for infrastructure, processes, and standards

• Proficiency with Ansible (required – not a learn-on-the-job skill)
• Comfortable with Linux command-line tools — strong mastery of the basics (ssh, vi, curl, etc.) is critical for success in this role
• Fluency with Git for version control — branching, rebasing, resolving merge conflicts, working with pull requests, and following team workflows is essential
• Strong scripting and programming skills in one or more languages such as Groovy, Python, JavaScript with the ability to write clean, maintainable, and effective code to support automation and infrastructure needs
• 4+ years in a DevOps, SRE, or similar infrastructure-focused engineering role
• Strong expertise in CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, especially with Groovy-based scripted pipelines
• Advanced experience with AWS services and cloud architecture
• Experience managing high-availability production systems
• Knowledge of container orchestration with ECS, EKS, or Docker
