• Develop automation using Ansible, Terraform/OpenTofu, Puppet, Rundeck, Python, or related infrastructure automation technologies.

• Apply AI-assisted engineering and Specification-Driven Design practices to improve delivery speed, consistency, and automation quality.

• Understanding of responsible AI practices, security controls, governance, and risk management within enterprise automation platforms.

• Design and develop APIs and integrations that enable infrastructure orchestration, provisioning, and platform services.

• Drive CI/CD, security, compliance, testing, and deployment automation for infrastructure delivery.

• Partner with platform product teams to accelerate IaC adoption and productize infrastructure capabilities.

• Create documentation, reference architectures, training materials, and enablement programs for IaC tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and engineering best practices.

• Leverage cross-domain infrastructure knowledge spanning compute, networking, storage, security, identity, cloud, and infra services to deliver curated consumer-facing platform products and improve operational resilience.
