Senior Infrastructure as Code Engineer – Automation & Cloud

This role is for a leading financial services organization focused on innovation and operational resilience.

• Minimum of 5 years of experience delivering infrastructure automation and Infrastructure as Code in enterprise environments.
• Hands-on expertise with Ansible (or similar tools), including modular design and reuse.
• Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and platform updates.
• Strong scripting skills in Python, Bash, and/or PowerShell, with excellent troubleshooting capabilities.
• Practical experience managing Linux servers in development and production contexts.
• Working knowledge of database infrastructure concepts, including automation and operational resilience.
• Experience with Git workflows, version control, branching strategies, and code review processes.
• Security-minded approach, incorporating secrets management, least privilege, and control embedding into automation.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills suitable for a senior role.

Nice to have:

• Experience with Docker and/or Kubernetes.
• Depth in observability engineering—metrics, logs, traces—and SRE practices like SLIs/SLOs.
• Knowledge of policy-as-code and compliance automation.
• Familiarity with integrating automation into ITSM/change management processes.
• Experience in regulated environments such as financial services, with a focus on change control and audit readiness.
• Relevant certifications (Cloud platforms, Terraform, Kubernetes, Red Hat, Microsoft).

• Build and maintain declarative Infrastructure as Code for on-prem infrastructure (compute, storage, network, OS, and database components) using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent.
• Develop reusable modules, templates, and automation patterns to ensure standardized, risk-averse delivery.
• Automate OS and database lifecycle activities including provisioning, configuration, patching, and compliance hardening.
• Design and operate secure, enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure configuration and platform automation.
• Ensure pipelines comply with control standards: segregation of duties, auditability, secrets management, and change traceability.
• Collaborate with OS/DB patching and platform engineering teams to support automated operations.
• Define and monitor infrastructure alerts and dashboards aligned with operational goals.
• Participate in incident management, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and automated preventative actions.
• Continuously enhance engineering practices through code reviews, documentation, SOPs, and knowledge sharing.
