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.    

Your will also be expected to:                                                               

• Develop and manage Ansible playbooks, modules, and configurations for both Unix and Windows environments.                                                                
• Utilize Ansible's agentless configuration management approach to automate infrastructure provisioning and software deployment.                                                                   
• 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.                                                                  

• Experience in software engineering and integration of Commercial Off-the-Shelf software products
