• Strong Python scripting experience.
• Demonstrated experience integrating with external APIs including auth, pagination, rate-limiting, retries.
• Experience with cloud environments (AWS preferred): compute, storage, IAM, secrets, networking.
• Familiarity with building small internal services or APIs.
• Understanding of infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or equivalent) and at least one configuration-management system (Puppet, Ansible, Chef, or similar).
• Experience with DCIM platforms: inventory / source-of-truth system (preferably NetBox).
• Experience working with Git-based workflow.
• Understanding of Jira (or ServiceNow).
• Excellent written communication and a good documentation mindset: runbooks, design notes, and unambiguous change tickets.
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced IT environment and do work with minimal supervision.

Nice to have:

• Experience integrating with several of: inventory / DCIM, ticketing, documentation, identity / directory services, monitoring, messaging platforms, and network devices.
• Exposure to Active Directory / LDAP integrations.
• Network-automation experience with vendor APIs (e.g., Arista, Cisco).
• Experience with AI-assisted or agent-based coding.

• Keep the existing tooling portfolio healthy, current, and running on schedule.
• Identify repeated manual work across infrastructure, operations, and security teams, and convert it into automations.
• Ensure scheduled jobs, services, and integrations remain reliable as upstream systems change.
• Stand up new tooling repositories following house patterns: standard project layout, CI pipeline, containerization where appropriate, and runbooks.
• Wire new automations into the existing ticketing and support tooling.
• Improve the integration layer between inventory, monitoring, configuration management, identity, and ticketing systems.
• Evolve infrastructure-as-code modules as the cloud footprint grows.
• Maintain runbooks and architecture notes alongside code changes - documentation is part of "done".
• Support production issues, including root-cause analysis and diagnosis.
• Own the firm's internal automation estate: a portfolio of scripts, services, infrastructure-as-code, and integration tooling that connects inventory, ticketing, monitoring, identity, cloud, and networking systems.
• Maintain and expand existing tooling, build new automations where manual effort is repeated, and improve the integration fabric across the wider platform.
• Work collaborating with the infrastructure, operations, and security teams.
